The 10 Best Activities & Tours in Pattaya, Ranked
This lot is heavy on big-ticket family days out, animal parks and water parks mostly, with a couple of quick viewpoint stops thrown in. Nong Nooch takes the top spot on sheer weight of opinion, since nothing else here comes close to the number of people who've walked its gardens and rated them. Several sit well south of the city or out towards Bangsaen, so plan a taxi and a full day. Ranked on Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties.
