Itinerary

• Start at: Your hotel in Pattaya.
• Stop At: Buddha Mountain (Khao Chi Chan), Pattaya, Chonburi Province.
  • Khao Chi Chan, also known as Buddha Mountain, features an engraving of Buddha on the mountainside. It is one of the biggest attractions in Pattaya. Here, you can find multiple local souvenir shops and great places to capture memories of Pattaya in pictures.
  • Duration: 1 hour
• Stop at: Anek Kuson Sala (Viharn Sien).
  • Anek Kuson Sala (Viharn Sien): The Viharn Sien is a beautiful Chinese temple located south of Pattaya, currently functioning as a museum. The museum houses a unique collection, believed to be one of a kind outside of China. It consists of a three-story central building and several pavilion halls. The Viharn Sien is built in an elegant Chinese style, but the real attraction lies within the building. This museum is one of the best places in Asia, outside of China itself, to witness priceless and rare Chinese artifacts and antiques.
• Stop At: Big Buddha, Pattaya, Chonburi Province.
  • Visit Big Buddha Hill or Wat Phra Yai, where you can see the largest Buddha image in Chonburi Province. It is visible from a distance as you approach the hill. The Buddha image is located on top of Pratamnak Hill, just south of the city of Pattaya. Driving up the road to the hilltop will offer you some stunning views of the Pattaya Bay area.
  • Duration: 1 hour
• Stop At: Pattaya City Sign - Viewpoint, Pattaya, Chonburi Province
  • Next, visit Pattaya Viewpoint (Khao Pattaya View Point) on Pratumnak Hill, the best viewpoint in the region. It is the ideal spot to capture that classic shot of Pattaya's sweeping, crescent bay. However, be aware that it's a popular destination, so expect to share the view with tourists and local vendors selling souvenirs and refreshments. But don't worry, once the tours have departed, the viewpoint becomes quiet and peaceful, allowing you to fully enjoy the stunning scenery.
• Stop at: Pattaya Walking Street.
  • Pattaya Walking Street is famous for its vibrant nightlife. However, visiting during the daytime offers a different experience, allowing you to explore the street at a quieter pace. Make sure to visit Pattaya Beach Road before visiting the biggest gems gallery in Asia. 
  • Duration: 1 hour
• Stop At: Gems Gallery Pattaya, Pattaya, Chonburi Province
  • Our next stop is Pattaya's Gems Gallery, where you'll be taken on a tour on a toy train. The tour provides a simulated demonstration of a gem's journey, from rough-cut to the final product. The Pearl Section is considered a highlight due to its exquisite designs that never fail to impress.
  • Duration: 1 hour
• After spending some time at Gems Gallery, we will drop you back at the hotel.
