Bali Hai Pier, also known as Pattaya Pier, sits at the southern tip of Pattaya Bay, right where Walking Street ends. It’s one of the city’s busiest hubs, buzzing with activity as day-trippers head to Coral Island (Koh Larn), scuba divers gear up for adventure, and private charters cruise in and out. The long jetty stretches into the bay, flanked by boats of all kinds. Easily spotted from Pattaya View Point, the pier has become an iconic part of Pattaya’s coastal skyline.
Then head up to Pattaya Viewpoint on Pratumnak Hill, the best spot in town for panoramic views of the city’s iconic crescent-shaped bay. Whether you visit during the day or at night, it’s the perfect place to capture that classic Pattaya photo.
Next, visit Big Buddha Hill (Wat Phra Yai), home to the largest Buddha image in Chonburi province. Perched at the top of Pratumnak Hill, just south of Pattaya, this impressive statue can be seen from far away as you approach. The drive up offers beautiful views of Pattaya Bay, making the journey just as scenic as the destination.
Pattaya Floating Market offers a vibrant glimpse into traditional Thai culture, spread across canals filled with wooden boats and colorful stalls. Tourists love exploring local handicrafts, souvenirs, and authentic Thai street food sold directly from the water. Cultural shows, traditional performances, and boat rides add to the lively atmosphere, making it a fun and interactive experience.

We waited in the lobby as directed. They never turned up Tried to contact them, no reply Waisted an entire day They can’t even be bothered to reply to your messages or even send an apology
If I could give it no stars I would. First the driver was late. They charged me extra for picking up in an area that is local. The driver was dangerous the entire time nearly running into multiple people and other vehicles and motorbikes, running lights. This driver should not be allowed to have a license let alone drive customers in the company vehicle. The guide could hardly speak English. Then decided to help herself to putting hot oil on my food. I have acid reflux so I can not eat spicy foods. So after she did that I stopped eating. She constantly was touching me without regard to my personal space. The driver picked up his wife during the tour I do not see how that is professional at all. We felt rushed the entire time. I do not recommend this company at all for this tour, run. Do not walk but run to other options.
Staff were very friendly and professional, overall was a great experience but maybe a few too many people on the boat as it was a bit crowded. It also would have been better to have more time snorkeling and less time on the first island and island for lunch (which went for too long).
Thanks a lot for your kind review and we look forward to welcome you more, regards
Nice tour at little cost. Lunch was a bit spartan on an island that was a bit dirty, no real tables etc. The boat was very nice, the staff very attentive and the snorkeling was good.
A very well organized excursion, with lovely staff, delicious food, fresh fruit for dessert prepared on site, and who was especially grateful for the heat. You get picked up and returned to your hotel. The excursion itself, beautiful. The very good snorkling team... well, clearly, if I come back, I repeat!
