Afternoon: Return to Bangkok

After checkout, travel back to Bangkok.

Allow extra time for traffic, particularly on Sunday afternoons and public holidays, when roads leaving Pattaya may be busier.

Staying Longer? Make It a 3-Day Pattaya Weekend

If you have an extra night, consider adding another destination beyond Central Pattaya.

Option 1 – Visit Koh Larn

Koh Larn is an island off the Pattaya coast, known for its beaches and clear water.

Visitors can take a ferry or speedboat from the Bali Hai Pier area, depending on available services and sea conditions.

Allow enough time for the journey to the pier, boat transfers and your return to the mainland.

 

Option 2 – Explore North Pattaya

North Pattaya offers more places to visit, including Terminal 21 Pattaya and the Sanctuary of Truth.

You can spend time shopping, visiting restaurants or exploring the detailed wooden architecture of the Sanctuary of Truth.

This is a good option if you prefer a day of sightseeing over an island excursion.

 

Option 3 – Spend More Time at the Hotel

An additional night also gives you more time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities.

You can stay by the pool, book a massage or enjoy a meal at Mind Bistro without needing to fit everything into one afternoon.
