Everything you need to know about Pattaya
Pattaya is one destination that does not need an introduction. Until recently (1960’s), it used to be a fishing village with no tourist traction. However, since 1980, it has been one of the most visited destinations in Thailand. It is famous for its beaches, high-end resorts, 24-hour clubs and nightlife, which includes cabaret shows and even Thai boxing. Here is everything you need to know about Pattaya to make your trip one of its kind!
Hidden Places you should explore in Phuket

Airplane Graveyard
Airplane Graveyard is something that is unique and maybe a bit weird as you see multiple wrecked airplanes in the middle of Bangkok. Not many people visit this place but it is an experience unlike any. The most interesting thing about this place is that a lot of these planes are inhabited by the poor locals. You can visit this site by paying $5-6 and even visit the locals’ airplane houses for an additional $5. The best way to reach here is by taking a ferry from the MRT station Phetchaburi.

Rod Fai Train market
This unique market only opens during the weekends from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 5pm and running through the midnight. If you are looking for authentic Thai food then this is the place to be, without a doubt. Moreover, you can also enjoy a beer or two at the unique bars made out of shipping containers, placed on top of each other.

Lumphini Park
Lumphini Park is one place that is out there in the open but still does not attract too many tourists. The park around a lake is an ideal place to go running or walking, especially during the morning hours. Post running the 2.5km long fitness trail, you can sit by the quaint lake and maybe even spend some time doing Yoga. For tourists staying in Pathun Wan District, you can literally run to the park. For others, you can reach the park by using MRT.
