What do you think of when you hear ‘Pattaya’? That sweet tropical fruit? No, that’s the papaya, though it sounds close enough. #wesopunny

We’re aware that some of you might associate Pattaya as a destination for adult travelers. BUT we have to straighten this out.

1. An Easy Hideaway in the City – Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort

If you want to have a good time with your family in a place that’s close to the city, then Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort could be the perfect answer.

Your kids would really love the fact that Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort is equipped with a mini water park!

When the kids finally tire of playing at the mini water park, bring them to play at the hotel’s kids’ club. (And a kids’ club also means parents will get time to yourselves too!)

After all that swimming and playing there is nothing is better than heading to ‘Molten’, Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort’s restaurant which serves both Thai and international cuisine. Bon appetite!

In addition, Art in Paradise the 3D illusion museum, Central Festival the largest beachfront shopping in Asia, and those famous cabaret shows are all a walkable distance from Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort.

A magnificent pool awaits here, for your kids and you too! It’s not your typical swimming pool, but also comes with a theme that decorates the pool. Look at the ship in the pool, the water playground, and fun slides too!

Want to see beach? That’s pretty easy as Atlantis Condo Resort Pattaya is only 400 meters to the shore.

And one other perk, the price is relatively more competitive compared to other resorts considering its facilities. It could be your best option if value-for-money is one of the things you’re looking for, for your next big family vacation!

3. The 2-in-1 Resort and Water Park?! – Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya

Is this a resort or a water park? Both! Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya is a resort with iconic structures right by the sandy beach, as well as a water park with a unique theme.

All the rooms in Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya are ocean-facing – so you can look forward to grand ocean views here!

Your kids will love the water park aptly named “The Lost World”. Comprising ‘cliffs’ connected by a rope bridge and looking like the ultimate water jungle with 12 slides and waterfalls…

Worry is something that probably doesn’t exist here. Your family will be spoiled by the fun to be had at the water park – and parents can personally be pampered at the resort’s award-winning spa with 24 treatment rooms.

4. To Stay is To Play – Pattaya Park

More a fun entertainment park than a resort, Pattaya Park has a water park, a mini amusement park, a secluded Jomtien Beach, and even you won’t expect this one: the highest seaside tower on the East Coast of Thailand.

Water is undoubtedly the source of happiness in Pattaya. Your family would enjoy the time in Pattaya Park by splashing water in its water park. Who can resist those colorful slides? Otherwise, relax and have fun on private Jomtien beach under the tropical sun!

Your kids may be obsessed with water and sand for a while, but if they grow bored of all that, head on over to the mini amusement park.

The ‘Fun Park’ has some thrilling rides like ‘Tower Shot’ or roller coaster. Don’t worry if you aren’t into the more thrilling rides, it has some classical yet evergreen rides like the carousel for younger kids too.

And here’s the landmark that’s visible from anywhere along Pattaya Beach. The 240-meter tall observation tower where you can enjoy the 360-degree panoramic views of Jomtien Bay and Pattaya. It also has a revolving restaurant on the 52-54th floor!

7. Great Location to Have Holiday for Your Family, and You!: Siam Bayshore Resort & Spa

If you haven’t decided whether you’re going to spend more time staying in the resort or heading out, then Siam Bayshore could be your best option. It’s very close to the legendary bustling Walking Street, while the resort itself has an abundance to offer.

(We’ve seen parents bringing their families out for a fun walk down Pattaya Walking Street – where magician shows and more happen. Not everything here is purely for adult entertainment!)

At Siam Bayshore, nature will greet you every morning since rooms face either the ocean or the garden. If you’re looking for something more private, there are villas available too!

Apart from the rooms, Siam Bayshore has a bunch of facilities that are intended to meet the needs of children. It has a playground area, and of course the pool with a fun waterslide!

Imagine yourself at home amongst the sea, the stars, and white sandy beaches. Beautiful?

Photo via pppret

Yes, that’s what Villa Thongbura is – secluded, quiet, and brimming with peace.

It could also possibly be the most culturally/artistically interesting resort in this list, as it adopts the Lanna style (Northern Thailand) as clearly seen from its roof and other decor. It definitely creates a unique and artistically stimulating atmosphere!

Even the pool is decorated with mythical creatures, along with fun wooden bridges over water, not forgetting the water playground with a fun tube slide.
