From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 8.
08:00 Hours: Meet us at the meeting point in the lobby of Hotel Dusit Thani Pattaya. Our Sun Leisure World staff will meet you at the hotel lobby, or you can visit our office located just beside the restaurant.
9:45 AM: We will pass by this famous nightlife center while it's quiet in the morning. Check out the street during the morning - please note that it's just a passing glance.
10:00 Hours: The most famous viewpoint in Pattaya is here. If you're in Pattaya, this spot is a must to capture. The biggest Pattaya signage is worth capturing, and it's important to note that this is also the pier for the Coral Island.
10:00 Hours: 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. Be warned, though, this is anything but an insider’s tip, so expect to share your view with an almost ceaseless conveyor-belt of package tours and the local traders who follow them, touting cheap souvenirs and expensive refreshments. This might sound off-putting, but the reality is tours will usually stop for 10 to 15 minutes, and once they have been called back to the bus, the viewpoint becomes quiet and peaceful – perfect for enjoying the stunning scenery. We will go to Big Buddha and Viewpoint in a 15-minute time.
10:30 Hours: Big Buddha Hill or Wat Phra Yai offers a view of the biggest Buddha image in Chonburi province, visible from far away as you approach the hill. The Buddha image is situated on top of Pratamnak Hill, just south of the city of Pattaya. Driving up the road to the top of the hill will provide you with some very nice views of the Pattaya bay area.
11:00 Hours: Pattaya Floating Market is a cultural escape in Pattaya, showcasing the lifestyle of ancient people alongside a modern floating market. Try some local lunch here.
13:30 Hours: Immerse yourself in the magical world of jewelry and precious stones at Gems Gallery in Pattaya. This new factory branch covers an area of 15,200 sq. m. The truly spectacular store invites you to experience its sound-and-light show about the magnificent world of gems. Enjoy an informative excursion into the history of the origin and mining of precious stones and minerals.
14:00 Hours: Return to Sun Leisure World Pattaya at Dusit Thani Hotel and then head back to your hotel.
Please meet us at your hotel lobby located at Pattaya Beach Road, and 2nd Road

Well organized and having different experiences
Thank you for choosing Sun Leisure World! We’re glad you enjoyed the Pattaya Discovery Tour and found it well organized with a good variety of experiences. It’s wonderful to know the tour worked well for your family. We appreciate your kind feedback!
I had a good experience I ended up having the tour all by myself and the driver ended up being my tour guide which was a first for me. I ended up seen a lot of nice places and enjoyed the conversations with the driver I believe his name was Korn. He did mention that after the 2020s lockdown tourism has dropped by a lot and that’s one of the reasons I got a solo tour but it’s ok with me something new to experience.
Thank you for choosing Sun Leisure World! We’re glad you enjoyed the Pattaya Discovery Tour, Floating Market, viewpoints, and the unique private-style experience. It’s wonderful to hear that Korn made the day enjoyable with friendly conversation and helped you discover many highlights of Pattaya.
A lot seen and Tikkie was a fine tour guide. She told me a lot. Took pictures of us together and shared them via whats app.
Bedankt dat u voor Sun Leisure World heeft gekozen! Fijn om te horen dat u genoten heeft van de Pattaya Discovery Tour, de Floating Market en mooie uitzichtpunten. We zijn blij dat Tikkie vriendelijk en informatief was en leuke foto’s met u deelde. Dank voor uw mooie review!
This is the perfect tour of the Pattaya highlights. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. The pace of the tour was excellent. The lunch included an entree, noodle soup and drink at the Floating Market. I have already recommended this tour to friends who will be visiting Pattaya in November.
Thank you for choosing Sun Leisure World! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Pattaya Discovery Tour, friendly guide, comfortable pace, Floating Market, viewpoints, and included lunch. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope your friends enjoy this Pattaya highlights tour too!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tour with excellent organization! We recently took a trip around Pattaya and had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Tikkie, was fantastic — very friendly, helpful, and professional. Even before the trip, communication was smooth and easy via WhatsApp. Tikkie made sure we had all the details we needed, confirming the exact pick-up point and departure time clearly, so there was no confusion at all. It made the whole process feel stress-free right from the start. The tour itself was well-paced and covered all the key spots around Pattaya. Highly recommend this service — thank you Tikkie for a great day!
Dear Valued Guest, We are glad to hear that you had great experience. thanks for choosing us and your valuable feedback. Hope to see you soon.
Pickup at the hotel was very convenient, the visit to interesting sites with our guide Tikkie, who is adorable and a very good photographer! We appreciated the kindness and discretion of the driver and the guide; I recommend this tour, which is not too long and in an air-conditioned car (departure in the morning at 8 AM and return to the hotel in the early afternoon). Very good price
Merci d’avoir choisi Sun Leisure World et d’avoir partagé votre expérience ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le Pattaya Discovery Tour, avec la prise en charge à l’hôtel, le marché flottant, les points de vue et le déjeuner. C’est un plaisir de savoir que Tikkie et notre chauffeur ont rendu cette demi-journée agréable, confortable et mémorable. Merci également pour votre recommandation !
We had a wonderful tour seeing the sights around Pattaya. Our guide, Tikkie, was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. (She was even our photographer occasionally ) I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for a lovely day
Dear Valued Guest, We are glad to hear that you had great experience. thanks for choosing us and your valuable feedback. Hope to see you soon.
Was excited for the tour but the company cancelled with me at 9pm the night before due to no one else booked for the day and messaged me via the guide. They stated they would refund me but I had to manually request the refund via TripAdvisor. I ended up just following their list myself using bolt to book the car and had a great experience.
Thank you for choosing Sun Leisure World and for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that the Pattaya Discovery Tour with Floating Market, Viewpoints & Lunch could not operate due to insufficient participant numbers, as shared tours require a minimum number of guests. We understand the inconvenience of the late cancellation and appreciate your patience with the TripAdvisor refund process. We’re glad you were still able to explore Pattaya and enjoy the attractions independently.
Our entire experience was absolutely MAGNIFICENT. The price, length of visit, atmosphere, crowd size, and value of what we experienced was unmatched. We especially ENJOYED our Santuary of Truth tour guide. He was SOOOOO KNOWLEDGEABLE and PROUD of this BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE We were SOOOOO ENLIGHTENED by the entire "WE are CONNECTED" concept that we CHALLENGE ourselves to INCORPORATE it even MORE in our EVERY DAY LIVES 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Tikkie and our driver were FANTASTIC. SOOOOO Inviting and Checking on All our needs. We will book All of our future bookings with Tikkie. You are FOREVER in our PHILLY HEARTS...LOVE YA Tikkie🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Jon & Monica Zimmerman
