 Have you booked your accommodation yet?
What part of Pattaya will you be staying in?
We went a couple of years ago and stayed for a month. At that time we had with us 3 children aged from 2, 10 and 11. We had a ball in Pattaya.
At first a bit taken aback with the blatent sex industry. But after a while it was fine and we got used to it. They didn't really bother us as they could see we were a family. We ended up loving our time in Pattaya and in fact are heading back there again for the month of August. This time taking 4 kids ... don't know how that happened 
We broke our stay up with a trip to Koh Samet. Turned out to be one of our highlights of our trip. Stayed in a quiet part, hired some bikes and totally chilled by the beautiful sea and soft, white sand. Only about an hour from Pattaya. Then a 10 minute jet boat ride to hotel. Very cheap accommodation. Excellent place
Pattaya has 2 minigolfs, plenty of shopping malls with movies. 10 pin bowling, Wooden Temple with the opportunity of swimming with the dolphins (North Pattaya), there's a couple of touristy things to do ... just check out trip adviser and search "pattaya". A lot of info there.
The Hard Rock does a foam party for kids on a Saturday.
Hope this helps. Hard to say to somone how long to stay for. It all depends on what you want from your holiday. The beaches in Pattaya are terrible (my opinion), but for us who need to escape the heat of the middle east, we enjoy our month there and can fill the time quite easily by swimming in the morning, chilling in the afternoon, and shopping and eating in the evenings. LOVE IT. Not to forget the fantastic massage parlours.
There are a couple of shows like Tiffany's and Al Kazbaan (sp?). I would also recommend you go and have a meal at The Art Cafe in North Pattaya. Lovely place ... they have a website you could check them out more.
Good Luck.  |
