Common questions
- What are the best family attractions in Pattaya?
- Pattaya Dolphinarium (4.7★), Nongnooch Pattaya Garden (4.6★) and Ramayana Water Park (4.6★), on Google rating. Well run, spotlessly clean and children love it — but it is a performing-dolphin show, so if captive marine mammals sit badly with you, this isn't your afternoon.
- How many family attractions are covered?
- Fourteen, each written up individually with what visitors consistently say, opening hours and a map. Every one carries a first-person verdict from Rob. Nothing here is an automated listing.
- Which part of Pattaya are they in?
- Mostly Pattaya (6), Na Chom Thian (5), Nong Pla Lai (2) and Bang Phra (1). Greater Pattaya runs from Naklua in the north through Pratumnak and Jomtien to Na Chom Thian and Bang Saray in the south.
