Hire a bike for a few days and head off down past Rayong and explore the coastal areas if you want an unplug from Pattaya and what it is, you can take a boat to Koh Samet from Rayong.

Wisely or unwisely? For unwisely Pin Ups agogo is the top of the range. For a terrific steak, Patricks. A massage at 'Ring Massage' is not what it says on the tin. For a terrific view and 2 for 1 cocktails, The Hilton 5-7 pm daily. For where you might wish you'd stayed have a look at the Avani with its fantastic pool and gardens that are an oasis amongst all the hustle and bustle.

Head down the coast, Rayong, Koh Samet, they're close, you won't lose much travelling time 👍

@Steve ******
My thoughts exactly. Rayong is home to one of the best beaches in Thailand, Mae Phim, Ban Phe is 15 minutes away. From there you can hop on a speed boat or ferry to Koh Samet. During weekdays there is a good chance the beach will be empty. Plenty of small food vendors line the beach as well. My favorite place in Thailand.

Why do you have to ask other people what you should do with your time go online and search out the country and find a destination that would suit you. Chances are you’re gonna get people telling you what they wanna do . we have no idea what your budget is or what you’re capable of spending. I would tell you to jump on / rent a yacht and go travel over nearTrang near the sea, where the beaches are beautiful.

In my opinion, if you’re not visiting the most beautiful beaches in Thailand, you’ve wasted all of your time all of your time is a tourist. But maybe you like to drink beer and hang out with whores I have no clue . If that’s the case, just stay where you’re at to each his own I guess. 
David ******
@Ken ********
exactly to each his own,.that is the most beautiful thing about Thailand so many choices for everyone. Pattaya is the very best place to drink beer and hangout with females. But it's cool that you can find whatever you are looking for in Thailand. Paradise. 😃
Ralf ********
Go to Bangkok, stay in Hop Inn, Suk 52 and enjoy street life. Just my 50 cents.
Maya *******
Koh chang or Hua Hin
Tom ********
Kho Samet, 1.5 hours away

Go to Koh Samet. Takes you 3 hours to go there at max, is beautiful and relaxing. Staying in Pattaya go for some of the sightseeing spots, eat at Casa Pascal (breakfast and dinner amazing), Harlan’s, Toscana. Go to Jomtien Beach and take a swim or a walk.

@Jan ********
To the Pier is an hour and 15 minutes from Pattaya Central.
Jan *********
@David *****
and now? What do you want to tell me with that??? How about taking a van and/or taking the ferry with fixed departure times. It is a huge mistake not to calculate buffer when traveling and to not consider several options. Sure if you spend 1000 THB for a car and another few thousand for a private speedboat, pay the car on Koh Samet to drive you and immediately, then you can make it to Koh Samet to any hotel in less than 2 hours.. is that realistic, should you tell that people not knowing their stuff in a foreign country? I say no…!
David ******
@Jan ********
Relax man, you got calm down. Not that serious. However long it takes you to go 80 km is up to you. Have a good one. ✌🏾.
