- Pattaya Sightseeing Tour By Sun Leisure World - 08:00 Hours: Meet us at the meeting point in the lobby of Hotel Dusit Thani Pattaya. Our Sun Leisure World staff will meet you at the hotel lobby, or you can visit our office located just beside the restaurant.
- Walking Street Pattaya - 9:45 AM: We will pass by this famous nightlife center while it’s quiet in the morning. Check out the street during the morning - please note that it’s just a passing glance.
- Bali Hai Pier - 10:00 Hours: The most famous viewpoint in Pattaya is here. If you’re in Pattaya, this spot is a must to capture. The biggest Pattaya signage is worth capturing, and it’s important to note that this is also the pier for the Coral Island.
- Pattaya City Sign - Viewpoint - 10:00 Hours: Pattaya Viewpoint (Khao Pattaya View Point) on Pratumnak Hill is the best viewpoint in the region and the place to visit, day or night, to get that classic shot of Pattaya’s sweeping, crescent bay. Be warned, though, this is anything but an insider’s tip, so expect to share your view with an almost ceaseless conveyor-belt of package tours and the local traders who follow them, touting cheap souvenirs and expensive refreshments. This might sound off-putting, but the reality is tours will usually stop for 10 to 15 minutes, and once they have been called back to the bus, the viewpoint becomes quiet and peaceful – perfect for enjoying the stunning scenery. We will go to Big Buddha and Viewpoint in a 15-minute time.
- Big Buddha Temple - 10:30 Hours: Big Buddha Hill or Wat Phra Yai offers a view of the biggest Buddha image in Chonburi province, visible from far away as you approach the hill. The Buddha image is situated on top of Pratamnak Hill, just south of the city of Pattaya. Driving up the road to the top of the hill will provide you with some very nice views of the Pattaya bay area.
- Buddha Mountain (Khao Chi Chan) - 11:30 Hours: Khao Chi Chan, also known as Buddha Mountain, is a remarkable natural and cultural attraction located in the vicinity of Pattaya, Thailand. This awe-inspiring landmark features a massive Buddha image carved into the face of a limestone hill, leaving visitors in awe. The image on Khao Chi Chan is an intricate depiction of Lord Buddha, measuring an impressive 109 meters in height and 70 meters in width. The carving is meticulously crafted and filled with intricate details, creating a mesmerizing sight that showcases the artistic skills of Thai craftsmen. The surrounding area of Khao Chi Chan offers a tranquil and serene atmosphere, with beautifully landscaped gardens, reflecting pools, and statues.
- Pattaya Floating Market - 12:00 Hours: Pattaya Floating Market is a cultural escape in Pattaya, showcasing the lifestyle of ancient people alongside a modern floating market. Try some local lunch here.
- Gems Gallery Pattaya - 13:30 Hours: Immerse yourself in the magical world of jewelry and precious stones at Gems Gallery in Pattaya. This new factory branch covers an area of 15,200 sq. m. The truly spectacular store invites you to experience its sound-and-light show about the magnificent world of gems. Enjoy an informative excursion into the history of the origin and mining of precious stones and minerals.
- Pattaya Sightseeing Tour By Sun Leisure World - 14:00 Hours: Return to Sun Leisure World Pattaya at Dusit Thani Hotel and then head back to your hotel.

Nice trip - Absolutely a great tour to "have a Look around" in Pattaya. We started in the morning for reason, I dont like crowded areas. We stopped for pictures and our guide was friendly as politely taking pictures from the group. The highlight in the floating market before hundred of groups are arriving there. And we saw a wild Buffalo on the way! A small and easy lunch is also included and fully enough as on the market you can get everything beside that ;) the sanctuary of thruth tour was very helpful to notice highlights of it, but with having only 1 hr time with 1hr tour its not enough taking pictures. Less tourguiding, more pictures would have been good. Or tourguiding and more time. My pictures are crowded:( anyhow, a beautiful Day with some highlights in Pattaya, its worth it

...,overall rather disappointing! - The entire tour seemed stressful and rushed.
My pickup was later and not at the agreed location.
Performance and price (especially compared to competitors - e.g. GetyourGuide) did not fit!

Read before booking - This tour no longer exists, but the travel agency forgot to take it down from Viator. Instead, it was replaced with a cheaper tour that doesn't include stop #5 (Buddha Mountain - Khao Chi Chan).
In my opinion, without stop #5, this tour isn't worth it. You're better off taking a bolt (taxi) as most stops are nearby.
I only found out the tour had changed after I noticed they skipped the stop. I complained to the travel guide and found out the tour had changed 2 months ago. The travel agency refused to provide a partial refund, but luckily Viator agreed to provide one on their behalf.
If you really want to take the tour, I'd suggest finding the other cheaper one also listed on viator. Again, I would just take a bolt, even the basic tour is very average.

'Nearby' trip was 68 miles away! - We booked this tour while staying in Hua Hin as a nearby attraction. We asked for a pick-up five days before the trip. They did not respond. We then phoned four times, and we were asked to send a WhatsApp message each time, which we did. Still no response. On the day before the trip, we phoned again and were told to go to the Pattaya meeting point. This turned out to be 68 miles away. Nearby? For a trip that started at 8 am? I don't think so! By this time, it was too late to cancel, and although we tried to ask for a refund from Tripadvisor, we were unable to contact anyone. We are very upset and will think twice before using Tripadvisor again.
