Information as of 2 Oct 2026

Who this service is for

  • First-time visitors who want to see the classic sights efficiently
  • Travellers with small children or older relatives who would rather not change between songthaews (shared pick-up trucks) and ride-hailing cars
  • Anyone with several places in mind who would like us to plan the order and timing
  • Guests heading out to dinner or a show who do not want to worry about getting back

Pattaya's sights are spread across a radius of about 10 to 45 minutes by car. With a private car you move straight to the next stop without hunting for transport or negotiating fares.

Popular sights and how long they take

Driving times are from central Pattaya, with a guide to how long to allow on site. Entry fees are paid directly to each attraction and reflect commonly quoted amounts as of September 2026. They can change, so please check the latest fee on arrival.

The Sanctuary of Truth is a seafront building made entirely of wood without nails, and one of Pattaya's most popular sights. Nong Nooch, with its large gardens and shows, often fills half a day. Khao Chi Chan lies to the south like Nong Nooch, so combining them keeps driving short.

Sample itineraries (half day and full day)

  • Half day, city and north (about 4 to 5 hours): Wat Phra Yai, then the Sanctuary of Truth, then lunch in town
  • Half day, south (about 5 to 6 hours): Khao Chi Chan, then Nong Nooch Tropical Garden
  • Full day (about 8 to 9 hours): Sanctuary of Truth, lunch at the Floating Market, Khao Chi Chan, then Nong Nooch Tropical Garden

Three or four stops a day is a comfortable pace. In the heat of early afternoon we choose indoor or shaded places, keeping outdoor sights for the morning or late afternoon. The plan can be reshuffled on the day to suit crowds and how you feel.

For the late afternoon, a popular combination is watching the sunset from the viewpoint on Pratumnak Hill before heading to dinner. The Sanctuary of Truth also has an evening session (around 700 THB for foreigners), with a different atmosphere from the daytime visit.

If you want to go sightseeing straight from the airport, or head to the airport afterwards, see our airport transfer page as well. When suitcases stay in the car, we provide a larger vehicle.

How charter pricing works

Our sightseeing transfers work as a private car hired by time. We quote after hearing your plans.

What affects the priceDetails
VehicleSedan, van and so on, chosen for your group and luggage
TimeHalf day, full day or similar. Please tell us early if you may need longer
DestinationsIn town or further out. Longer distances change the fuel cost
Waiting timeHow waiting time during sightseeing or meals is treated is explained in your quote
Not includedEntry fees, food and drink, shows and activities

Shared among a family or group, the cost per person is often not far from taking several taxis in a row. Our quote separates what is included from what is not.

Using our dinner transfers

Our restaurant transfers take you from your hotel to the restaurant and back. They are handy on evenings with drinks, or when the restaurant is far from your hotel.

  1. Tell us the restaurant and booking time once decided. We can also help you choose where to dine
  2. We collect you with enough time to arrive on schedule, allowing extra for traffic at weekends and in the rain
  3. A rough return time is fine. Whether the driver waits or comes back at an agreed time can be decided when you book
  4. A second venue, or dropping guests at different hotels after dinner, can also be arranged

Some streets, such as Walking Street, are closed to cars in the evening, so you may not be able to get in or out right at the door. We agree the pick-up and drop-off points in advance.

What we do and what you need to do

What we do

  • Ask about your interests and group, including children or older travellers, then plan a comfortable order and pace
  • Arrange the vehicle and collect you from, and return you to, your hotel
  • Advise on typical entry fees, dress codes and the busiest times at each sight
  • Adjust the plan on the day and around your restaurant booking times

What you need to do

  • Tell us where you would like to go, what interests you and what to avoid (long walks, hot outdoor sights and so on)
  • Pay entry fees, food and drink, and shows on site
  • Let us know your start time and roughly when you want to finish

You are welcome to contact us before you have decided where to go. From guidebook classics to local favourites for food and views, we suggest a plan that fits the days you have.

Things to know

  • The Sanctuary of Truth and temples require shoulders and knees to be covered. Wraps can be borrowed at the Sanctuary entrance
  • Some ticket desks and food stalls take cash only. Please carry some small notes
  • The sun is strong, so bring a hat, sunscreen and something to drink
  • In the rainy season (roughly May to October) afternoon downpours are common, so visiting outdoor sights in the morning keeps the plan on track
  • Nong Nooch and the Floating Market can be crowded when coach tours arrive. We plan around those times
  • Thai law requires children under six to use a child seat. Please tell us your children's ages when you book

FAQ

Questions about this service

Q01

Can I enquire before deciding where to go?

Yes. Tell us what interests you and how you like to travel, and our local staff will build the route, from the classics to places no guidebook covers.

Q02

Can I use just the restaurant transfer?

Yes, return transfers for an evening meal are welcome on their own. We are also happy to help you choose where to dine.

Q03

Do you run tours to Bangkok?

We do not offer tours to Bangkok. Our coverage is Pattaya and the surrounding areas.

Q04

How many places can we visit in a day?

Three or four is a comfortable number. If you include somewhere that takes half a day, such as Nong Nooch, two or three stops leaves more breathing room. We suggest an order that keeps driving short.

Q05

Are entry fees included?

No. Entry fees are paid directly at each attraction. When we send your itinerary, we include the typical fees as of September 2026 and how to buy tickets.

Q06

Can we change destinations or the finish time during the day?

Yes, on the day too. If the hire time runs longer or you add a more distant stop, the price may change, and we will tell you before going ahead.

Q07

Will the driver wait during dinner?

The driver can either wait nearby or return at an agreed time. Waiting counts as hire time, so we can discuss which suits you when you book.
