Trip Highlights

Bangkok – The City of Contrasts:
Begin your adventure in Thailand’s vibrant capital. Bangkok is a city of striking contrasts, where gleaming skyscrapers sit alongside ornate temples, and bustling street markets share space with luxurious shopping malls.

Pattaya – Beaches and Beyond:
Transfer from Bangkok to Pattaya, a lively coastal city famous for its golden beaches and vibrant waterfront. Enjoy relaxing moments on the sandy shores, take in stunning ocean views, or indulge in exciting water activities. Pattaya also offers unique attractions like cultural shows, local markets, and opportunities for fine dining along the coast.
Coral Island – Tropical Paradise:
Experience a day of sun, sand, and sea at Coral Island, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, colorful marine life, and pristine beaches. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, enjoy water sports, or simply unwind on the soft sands. This tropical escape provides a perfect contrast to the energetic city life of Bangkok and Pattaya.
Cultural and Leisure Experiences:
This itinerary balances sightseeing and relaxation. From exploring historic temples and bustling streets to enjoying optional tours and shopping in Bangkok, travelers can immerse themselves fully in Thailand’s rich culture while also having time for leisure and personal exploration.

Trip Itinerary

Your Thailand adventure begins as you arrive at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport. After completing customs and immigration, you’ll be warmly greeted by our local representative who will escort you to your private coach.
Sit back and enjoy a comfortable drive to Pattaya, one of Thailand’s most popular beach destinations, located about 150 kilometers southeast of Bangkok.

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, prepare for an exciting day trip to Coral Island (Koh Larn) — one of the highlights of your Thailand tour.
Depart by speedboat, cutting across the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Thailand, feeling the cool sea breeze and taking in the panoramic views of Pattaya’s coastline.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the island’s powdery white beaches and crystal-clear waters — perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation. The island also offers a variety of water sports (optional) such as parasailing, banana boat rides, jet skiing, and underwater sea walking for those who love adventure.

Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch served at a local beachside restaurant, featuring authentic flavors and fresh seafood. After some leisure time, return to Pattaya by speedboat in the afternoon.

You’ll also pass through the city’s historic streets, colorful markets, and modern skyscrapers, getting a glimpse of Bangkok’s unique charm.
