Is the price per person or per car?

Per car. One private car takes 1 to 4 travellers for ฿1,265, so a family of four pays the same as one person. Children count as a seat; a baby on a parent's lap is free. For 5 to 8 travellers the booking box adds a second car automatically.

Which places does the Pattaya City Tour visit?

Four stops: the Big Buddha at Wat Phra Yai, Pattaya View Point (both on Pratumnak Hill), the Gems Gallery jewellery showroom and the Terminal 21 shopping mall. The whole tour takes about 4 to 5 hours including traffic, with pickup and drop-off at your Pattaya hotel.

Is a tour guide included?

No — this is a private car-and-driver tour. Your driver takes you to each stop and waits while you explore at your own pace. Our team is on WhatsApp in English and Hindi if you need anything during the day.

Do we have to buy anything at the Gems Gallery?

No. Gems Gallery is a jewellery showroom; looking around is free and there is no obligation to buy. If you would rather skip it, just tell your driver.

About this tour

The Pattaya City Tour is the easiest way to see the best-known sights of Pattaya in one relaxed half day, without bargaining with taxis between stops. A private air-conditioned car and driver collect you from your hotel and stay with your group for about 4 to 5 hours, traffic included, before bringing you back.

The price is per car, not per person. One car carries 1 to 4 travellers for the same price, so a family of four pays exactly what a couple pays. Children take a seat like adults; a baby on a parent's lap is free. A group of five or more needs a second car, and the booking box adds it automatically so you always see the full price before you pay.

Your four stops:

Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai): The 18-metre golden Buddha on top of Pratumnak Hill, reached by a staircase lined with naga serpents. It is a working temple and one of Pattaya's most photographed landmarks, with smaller Buddha statues around the terrace.
Pattaya View Point: On the same hill, the famous lookout over the curve of Pattaya Bay, the Bali Hai pier and the city skyline — the photo almost every visitor takes home.
Gems Gallery: A large jewellery showroom where you can see how gems are cut and set. Browsing is free and there is no need to buy anything.
Terminal 21: The airport-themed shopping mall on North Pattaya Road, with each floor styled as a different world city. A good stop for shopping, a cold drink and a meal before the drive back.

This is a car-and-driver tour, not a guided tour: the driver takes you from stop to stop and waits while you explore at your own pace. It suits families with children or grandparents, couples on a first visit and anyone who wants the sights without the heat of walking between them.

Most travellers do the city tour on the day they arrive or between bigger days out. Pair it with a morning at Coral Island, the carved-wood Sanctuary of Truth, Nong Nooch Garden or an evening at the Alcazar Show. Need an airport or intercity transfer as well? See our private taxi routes, or build your whole trip in the Trip Dust package builder.

Please note: Private car-and-driver city tour: Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai), Gems Gallery, Pattaya View Point and Terminal 21, about 4-5 hours including traffic. The price is PER CAR for 1 to 4 travellers (children count as a seat, lap infants free); 5 or more travellers need a second car. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Pattaya included. Not included: tour guide, entrance fees, food, drinks and shopping. Book at least 1 day ahead and send your hotel name and preferred pickup time on WhatsApp +66 82 885 5990 after booking. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before your tour, with a full refund, and the date can be changed up to 72 hours before your tour, subject to availability; cancellations made less than 72 hours before the tour, and no-shows, are non-refundable.

Quick tips for your trip

Who pays what: The price is for the whole car. 1, 2, 3 or 4 travellers pay the same ฿1,265; a fifth traveller needs a second car. Babies on a lap ride free.
Best time: Start in the morning (around 9 AM) for cooler weather and softer light at the View Point, or mid-afternoon so you finish with sunset over the bay and dinner at Terminal 21.
Temple dress: Big Buddha is an active temple — cover shoulders and knees, and slip-on shoes make it easy to take them off where asked.
Driver, not guide: The driver gets you to each stop and waits; the descriptions on this page tell you what you are seeing. Message us on WhatsApp any time if you need help on the day.
Keep it flexible: Want more time at the mall and less at the showroom? Tell your driver — the order and time at each stop are yours, within the 4–5 hours.
