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, and its gardens are the reason to go. Several sit well south of the city or out toward Bangsaen, so plan a taxi and a full day.
The 10 Best Hotels in Pattaya, Ranked
Big beachfront and clifftop resorts run this list, most of them with a spa, several pools and half a dozen places to eat inside the grounds. The one that stands out is Arbour Hotel and Residence, which tops it despite being the odd one out with kitchenettes and a rooftop pool rather than sand.

Pattaya's highest-rated rooftop bars and sky lounges with ocean views and cocktails.
The 10 Best Spas & Wellness Spots in Pattaya, Ranked
This lot's mostly straight-up Thai massage houses, with two Japanese onsen spots and a couple of quieter day spas out toward Jomtien breaking up the pattern. The One Massage on Walking Street takes the top spot, and it's open till after midnight, which the hotel spas aren't.

The 8 Best Shopping Malls in Pattaya, Ranked
These are the malls Pattaya's shopping round-ups keep naming, in the order they name them. Central Pattaya on Beach Road leads, Terminal 21 is the one to see for the building alone, and the list ends with the outlets and the gadget mall for when you need something specific.
