A short circuit that gives an overview of Pattaya's sights in a morning, without having to manage transport between them. Departure is at 8.30am and the return around 1.30pm.
The Big Buddha temple, Wat Phra Yai, opens the circuit: an eighteen-metre gilded statue on a hilltop above the bay, reached by a naga-lined staircase. Nong Jab Tao temple follows, a shorter stop. The high point is Khao Chi Chan: a hundred-and-thirty-metre limestone cliff onto which a Buddha was laser-etched and inlaid with gold, marking the fiftieth anniversary of King Rama IX's reign. The circuit finishes at the tiger park.
One point of note there: entry is included, but the tiger photo activity is excluded from the ticket and paid on site if you want it. Covered dress is required in the temples.
