Pattaya, a lively coastal gem just two hours from Bangkok, continues to thrive as one of Thailand’s top travel destinations. Known for its vibrant beaches, dazzling skyline, and rich mix of culture and entertainment, Pattaya offers something for everyone. But to truly experience its essence, you have to view it from the sea.
With YACHT ME, Thailand’s leading yacht and boat charter platform, you can explore the stunning coastlines, nearby islands, and iconic landmarks from a new perspective—aboard a private boat or luxury yacht. Depart from the city’s main piers, including Bali Hai Pier and the prestigious Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Southeast Asia’s largest full-service marina.
Explore Pattaya Bay and Beyond
From the moment you depart the pier, the horizon opens to a scene of modern high-rises, tropical islands, and sparkling blue waters that stretch into the Gulf of Thailand.
