Perfect Day in Pattaya

Our driver met us right at the terminal with a sign. The car was clean and cool. We saw the Sanctuary of Truth and the Big Buddha. Much better than the expensive ship excursions!

Great Value Transfer

Booked the private transfer to Pattaya. Driver was polite and on time. We spent the day at the beach and shopping. He was waiting for us exactly when we asked to return. Highly recommend.

Sanctuary of Truth is amazing

The wooden temple is a must-see. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Traffic was a bit heavy getting back but the driver knew shortcuts and we arrived with plenty of time.

We were a group of 6 and booked a van. Very comfortable. The driver took us to a great local seafood restaurant away from the tourist traps.

Good alternative to Bangkok

We didn't want the long drive to Bangkok so we chose Pattaya. The 3D art museum was fun for the kids. Good service.

The speedboat tour was the highlight of our cruise! Water was crystal clear. The team took great care of us and the drone photos were a nice bonus.
