Golf
Pattaya and the surrounding area is home to over a dozen international standard golf courses. Some are top notch courses, designed by top golfers, with beautiful grounds and generous amenities. Some of the area's courses are just avereage, some below...we've left those off of our list. As a general rule of thumb, if you find an incredible deal on a round of golf, it's not at the best course. It is well worth it to pay a little extra to play on well cared for grounds.
