Pattaya Tour Packages From Kolkata

Fast forward to today and you’ll find that where a humble village once stood, there is now a vibrant city that is buzzing with people engaged in all sorts of professions. However, the quaint atmosphere that is the essence of the smaller, quieter villages hasn’t been diminished by the gradual influx of people over the following decades, or by the urbanization that has taken place here. If all of this sounds appealing to you and you wish to trade the experience of gazing out at the familiar Bay of Bengal for that of gazing out at the exotic Gulf of Thailand for your holiday, Pattaya tour packages from Kolkata will have you sorted out.

The tag of being a "floating market" isn't just some sort of exaggeration or marketing gimmick. The entirety of the market's expanse is quite literally floating on water. Navigation throughout the market on foot is impossible, therefore, hiring a manned boat will be best to get you from place to place. You'll want to explore a diverse selection of goods available at your disposal. The wooden toys and home accessories from Thailand, such as wall clocks, are available in plenty over here. For the entertainment of the shoppers, cultural performances in various parts of the market are quite common.

From one side of the view, Khao Chi Chan in Pattaya is just another mountain. Sure, the plains surrounding the mountain provide some delightful scenery all around. Carved into the side of the mountain is a massive sculpture of Buddha, in front of which is a Buddhist temple. All in all, Khao Chi Chan is a divine destination both for its religious significance to the followers of the Buddhist faith, as well as for regular folk with its majestic carvings and the scenery that surrounds it.

Ideal Duration

Pattaya may not be a huge city, but it is still densely packed with places to visit and activities to enjoy. It shouldn’t take too long to explore all of this, though. Five full days with one of our Pattaya tour packages from Kolkata should be plenty to chart out the city to your liking, without any rush.

Best Time to Visit

Summer

Pattaya has some hot summers. They’re not unbearable. With some careful preparation, they are quite manageable and shouldn’t affect your touring plan from Pattaya tour packages from Kolkata at all. Temperatures do reach up to the range of 33?, however, so it is best to stay vigilant of the sun. The atmosphere is also humid, meaning you’ll sweat a lot so make sure to carry certain essentials, such as water, sunscreen and some sunglasses or hats for good measure to shield yourself from the harsh rays. This type of weather will persist from March to May.

Monsoon

The rains in Pattaya are heavy and frequent during the monsoon season, which occurs during the months of June, July, August, September, and October. They are heavy enough that most people tend to avoid traveling to Pattaya at this time. This does mean, however, that your likelihood of getting a good, cheap deal for your stay and other such facilities increases quite a lot. Obviously, due to the overcast weather, the beaches themselves may not be as fun as they would be at other times of the year, but there are other attractions here to hold your attention. The lack of a crowd is also likely to give you some solitude. Temperatures are still fairly high at this time, going up to about 32?.

Winter

Winter is arguably the most popular time of the year for tourists to visit Pattaya. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures still rising to about 30? during the day, but dropping to a much cozier level at night, around 20?. The humidity levels during the winter in Pattaya, which lasts from November to February, are not as high as they are during the summer or monsoon, so you should feel much more comfortable in the outdoors. The swathes of crowds that are drawn here give the place a lively atmosphere overall.

How to Reach

By Air

Flying from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata to the Utapao Airport in Thailand which serves Pattaya is a journey that takes at least 12 to 16 hours to complete. There are no direct, non-stop flights between the two airports, however, with stops usually occurring either in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, sometimes requiring a transit visa.

By Rail

Since there is no railway track that connects Kolkata and Pattaya, railway travel is unfortunately not an option here.

By Road

Traveling from Kolkata to Pattaya on the road is not a simple affair. The 3600+ km journey would take days of non-stop driving to complete and require crossing the border into Myanmar before even entering Thailand.
