## How to spend 2 days in Pattaya

Day one is the one-day Pattaya itinerary. Day two is in Sattahip and Huai Yai: three stops 7 km apart, 22–24 km from the centre.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## Nong Nooch

South-East Asia's largest botanical garden, about 200 hectares. Entry starts at about 500 baht; packages with the Thai cultural show, a garden bus or lunch cost more. Open roughly 8:00–18:00; allow 3–4 hours.

## Is 2 days in Pattaya enough?

For the city and the south, yes. With a third day go to [Koh Larn](https://yesgo.io/thailand/pattaya/ko-lan) for its eight beaches, or [Khao Kheow Open Zoo](https://yesgo.io/thailand/pattaya/khao-kheow-zoo), 50 km away. In the evening there is [Walking Street](https://yesgo.io/thailand/pattaya/pattaya-walking-street).

## Tips

- On day two hire a taxi for half a day: the stops are 7 km apart.
- At Wat Yansangwararam cover shoulders and knees; shoes off at the halls.
- Temples want shoulders and knees covered — no vests or shorts; shoes come off at the door of the halls. Sarongs are often lent at the gate or for a deposit.
- Thailand uses the baht (THB). Temples, markets, longtails and songthaews want cash; Grab and Bolt are the easiest taxis.
- Nong Nooch means a lot of walking in the sun: hat and water.
