Pattaya Light House
The light house is on the headland in South Pattaya and is a nice place to hang out to watch the sun go down, there is also a small open air bar there.
Bali Hai Pier
Baki Hai Pier is where you need to go if you want to go over to Koh Larn (Coral Island) for the day, the boat fare costs 30baht each way.
Pattaya Sea Rescue
This is inbetween Bali Hai Pier and the light house in South Pattaya, they have some nice rescue boats there.
Jomtien Beach
Probably the biggest and most commercial beach in the area, they have banana boats, parasailing and just about anything else you can think of.
Hu-Gwang Bay
A small sandy bay between Pattaya and Jomtien, very few tourists find this beach so there are no Thai touts to pester you, nice and peaceful beach to top up your suntan.

Pattaya Floating Market
To save a trip to Bangkok Pattaya now has its own floating market, about 10km from Pattaya on Sukhumvit Road heading towards Sattahip set on 25rai is an impressive market selling Thai food from all four regions of Thailand, also all the usual products tourists like to buy.
Can be got to by bus or sawngthaew, entry is free and should definitely be put on your to do list.
The Sanctuary of Truth
The Sanctuary of Truth is situated in Naklua so is easy to get to either by motorbike taxi or Songthaew.
Entrance fee starts at 500baht and does seem quite expensive, but I don't believe there is anywhere in the world you will be able to see something like this, a completely carved teak wood building which covers an area of around an acre, everything bar the floor boards have ornate carvings on them, on the grounds you can ride horses, rent an ATV, or just snack at there outdoor restaurant, worth visiting as it is quite an amazing building.
Silverlake Winery
Silverlake Vineyard is about 10km from Pattaya heading towards Sattahip and away from Bangkok, on Sukhumvit Road it is well sign posted and situated next to Khao Chi Chan (the mountain with Buddha image on it in gold). Silverlake Vineyard is extremely scenic set round a lake amongst the mountains, has a lovely restaurant there and also a pizza restaurant, across the road is an elephant village if you want an elephant ride.
In the local area is also Wat Yansangwararam and Wat Wihan Sian so probably worth renting a motorbike or car for the day, maybe stop at the Floating Market first for lunch.
Pattaya Go Kart Tracks
There are 3 Go Kart tracks in Pattaya, 2 are on Soi Theprasit and 1 on Sukhumvit Road next to Mini Siam, Pattaya Kart Speedway has 4 tracks and a variety of Go Karts for rent, 2 tracks are off road tracks and 2 are racing tracks.
