If you have more time to spend in Pattaya, consider adding these to your itinerary: Coral Island for snorkelling, Dongtan Beach to relax, Mini Siam to experience the cultural architectural marvels of Thailand, Koh Larn for a scenic view. However, if you have less time for Pattaya, you might have to select places that are closer to each other to save transportation time. An ideal choice might be reducing the number of places on the list so that you don’t rush through the activities that you undertake. Visit these places during their opening hours, and do check if they have any entry restrictions due to COVID-19 before visiting.
