Fun day In Pattaya - What an excellent way to see so much and be able to relax in comfort as they drive you around and explain that rent a car and driving to all these spots would be tough; leave it in the hands of these experts and relax and enjoy, my whole family loved it whether you do the half day as we did due to the fact we had already seen the sanctuary of truth, great experience.
