For centuries, Pattaya was a small fishing village. But a change
occurred in 1961, when the first group of about 100 American
servicemen who were fighting in the Vietnam War arrived in Pattaya for
relaxation. From this beginning, Pattaya became a popular beach
resort which now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Fishermen's huts along the beach were replaced by resort hotel and
shopping malls. Fishing vessels were adapted to become tourist boats.
Pattaya has a tropical wet and dry climate, which is divided into the
following seasons: warm and dry (November to February), hot and
humid (March to May), and hot and rainy (June to October).
Pattaya, Thailand is located on the east
coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km
southeast of Bangkok, in the province of
Chonburi. "Greater Pattaya" occupies most
of the coastline of Banglamung (one of the
eleven districts that comprise Chonburi
Province). It is divided into a larger northern
section which spans the areas to the east of
Naklua Beach (the most northern beach) and
Pattaya Beach (the main beach) plus the
Buddha Hill headland (immediately south of
Pattaya Beach), and a smaller southern
section covering the area to the east of
Jomtien Beach (which lies directly south of
Buddha Hill) including Dongtan Beach.
