🧳 이 경로 여행 팁
Pattaya has a tropical climate with warm weather year-round. The best months are November to February (cooler and dry). The wet season (June–October) has afternoon rain showers but mornings are usually sunny. Pattaya is a popular year-round destination.
Suvarnabhumi has direct buses to Pattaya — take one right from the airport without entering Bangkok. From Don Mueang, there is no direct Pattaya bus — you need to transfer to Ekkamai or use a taxi/Grab. Plan accordingly based on your arrival airport.
The airport-to-Pattaya direct bus avoids Bangkok traffic entirely via Motorway 7. If departing from central Bangkok, leave before 7 AM or after 9 PM to avoid heavy traffic on the motorway entrance. Friday evening traffic can add 1–2 hours.
Pattaya has transformed beyond its nightlife reputation. Jomtien Beach is quieter and family-friendly. Koh Larn island (45 min ferry, 30 THB) has crystal-clear water. Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is excellent for families.
