1. Book on Time, Especially in High Season

Pattaya is a popular destination, especially during the high season. Want to be sure of getting a room at your favourite hotel? Then book as early as possible. Especially if you have a specific hotel in mind or if you are travelling with a large group.


2. Read Reviews from Other Travellers
