Bali Hai Pier – commonly known as Pattaya Pier – is a central feature of the city, located at the end of Walking Street, near the southernmost point of Pattaya Bay. It is a hive of activity, with endless day-trippers on the way to the nearby Coral Island (Koh Larn), as well as scuba divers, fishing enthusiasts and even private charter boat trips setting off or returning to dry land. The jetty stretches quite far out into the bay and is lined on either side with boats of all descriptions. It can be seen clearly from Pattaya View Point and has now become a classic image of Pattaya itself.
Then Visit Pattaya Viewpoint (Khao Pattaya View Point) on Pratumnak Hill is the best viewpoint in the region and the place to visit day or night to get that classic shot of Pattaya’s sweeping, crescent bay.

Khao Chi Chan, also known as Buddha Mountain, is a remarkable natural and cultural attraction located in the vicinity of Pattaya, Thailand. This awe-inspiring landmark features a massive Buddha image carved into the face of a limestone hill, making it a sight that leaves visitors in awe.

I would like to commend Sir William for his warm assistance during our exploration of the gems gallery. He shared valuable insights about each stone, making the experience both informative and delightful. Thank you
Jeerawat and his driver were very good He knows a lot of the history of the tempels It was nice to go with them👍🏼
The place was amazing and i learned a lot of things about gemstones such as how they ware processed and the employees of gems gallery was kind and entertaining , overall it was a good experience
The tour guide was the worst I have ever had in my whole life travel experience. He verified my hotel address and name one day in advance, but on the day of the trip, he went to another hotel (I really cannot understand how this happened, the hotel names were not even similar). Secondly, he told me to pay extra money to join the tour because he claimed I had only paid 200 baht. I had to argue with him for a while telling him to check my payment, for I had paid $18 USD, which is not 200baht, but he insisted that $18 USD is 200 baht. I’m not sure if he was trying to scam me or if he just couldn’t do simple math. Only after I showed my Viator reservation, which included the full trip description, he said I could join as long as I had a QR code. As for the tour itself, he talked about whatever, especially when we were visiting the temple, which had nothing to do with the real story of the Buddha. When I corrected him, he became quiet. I really don’t know if he was a certified tour guide or if the tour company just picked whoever was available. His English was, of course, poor. (like, called incense chopsticks) He kind of speaks English, but not very well.
Good evening We are sorry to know about this issue pls send us your booking number with full refund as we wish to understand what actually happened, we once again wish to provide only the quality service and any mis conduct or wrong doings are absolutely not tolerable pls contact us with your reservation number Regards
Very good guide. A lot of waiting but otherwise good😁ins everywhere😁😎Hate to wait so long to zoo money trap. Tiger zoo is a money trap
Good evening we do not sale Tiger Zoo with this product at all, or we do not have any tiger zoo. this is temple and city tour, I do not think this review should be here.
Well the driver apparently didn't know we existed, till I made multiple phone calls. Well not much to see probably. We spent some time together roaming in the streets.
Thanks for your response. We do hereby apologize for the delay from the driver but traffic is a big problem in these places. But anyway we will try to improve this service . Thanks for opting our services . Please help us to know if there's anything that we can do for you to make you feel satisfied , we can compensate as well. Thanks looking for your reply.
Better to give a baht bus driver B500 to take you to these places. You could have four for the price of B500. Skip the gems museum this is just a ploy to expose you to a hard sell on overpriced gems. There are no admission charges for these attractions so the “admission price included” does not apply.
Thank you for your review . We really apologize for your discomfort during the tour. But all things mentioned in the itinerary are being timely provided for the customers , if there is anything that was not provided then we are here to listen to you and provide recompense . Customers are our priority and we don't let go any customer with unhappy memories . So do help us to know what we can do for you . Looking for your response soon
Things didn’t start well. Guide was 45 minutes late and didn’t give a good reason for her tardiness. She didn’t know which tour we had booked. This was supposed to be a 4 hour guided tour. Instead - it was 1 hour 15 minutes, and pretty much unguided. We would have learned the same if we had just taken a taxi to the points of interest. For most of the time in the car the guide was on her phone talking to colleagues and other clients. I would say that she spoke more on the phone than she did to us. Very unprofessional. I have asked Viator to contact me to provide a full refund. I’ve never posted a negative review on TripAdvisor previously. This was just SO bad. 😕
Thank you for your review . We are hearing this complaint for the first time and we are extremely sorry for all the issue that took place during the tour. But we are here to provide you with full compensation and make sure that you never come across such situation again. Being prominent in our business we handle all our customers issue with utmost care . I request you to help us to know what we can do for you to make sure that you are happy about the services . Looking forward to hearing from you . Thank you

Thanks a lot for your kind encouragement and we look forward to serve you in the future.
Firstly, the tour coordinator was quite good and was very co-operative. Our driver-cum-tour-guide Fanta was quite experienced. He spoke good English and had a good knowledge of each of the visiting places. Overall quite good experience except the heat.
Good Afternoon from Bangkok, This is a great pleasure to hear from you, we are pleased that you like our tours and we look forward to serve you more while you are in Thailand.
