After searching through countless guides, I finally decided on Tiffany's. After watching it, I finally understood what everyone meant by "healthy" and "gorgeous." It really had nothing to do with the color cyan; it felt like a Thai version of Disney's Broadway. The opening scene even had a bit of a Kaito Kid vibe to it. 🤣 The content was incredibly wholesome, with themes like nature, equality, freedom, and personal awakening. The costumes, makeup, and actors' dedication were all top-notch. It was absolutely worth it. A must-see if you're in Pattaya!
✊❤️ Tiffany's Show is a masterclass in joyous, heart-lifting spectacle. From the moment the curtain rises, you're enveloped in a world of astonishing beauty. The cast possesses a captivating warmth and stage presence that makes every character shine. The costumes are nothing short of breathtaking artistry – intricate, opulent, and utterly mesmerizing. Every detail, from the sumptuous sets and props to the innovative lighting and seamless effects, creates a truly immersive fantasy. The choreography is sharp, elegant, and full of life. It's a symphony of visual delight! While the entire production is a testament to dazzling talent and stagecraft, witnessing the performers' own vocal artistry alongside their brilliance would elevate this radiant experience into something even more profoundly touching and authentic. A truly magnificent celebration!

When I bought the ticket, I forgot to check that it would take 4 hours to be valid. I couldn't use it when I got there, so I spent 300 baht on the ticket. One adult and one child entered the ticket. It was more commercial inside, but one thing is that the price of food inside is still quite affordable. Compared with Bangkok consumption, it is half the price. I bought a lot of food and walked around for almost 2 hours. It's okay.
I still recommend going there. Although it is not so lively inside, you can still take some nice photos. But it is more cost-effective to book tickets on Ctrip one day in advance. It is not cost-effective to buy tickets directly on the day. I booked the ticket in the early morning, and Ctrip showed that it would be available in 4 hours. When I arrived at the ticket exchange office, I was told that the ticket I bought on the day could not be used, but after communicating with her, I said that it could be used as shown above, and she helped me check the information and said that it could be used.

Отличное место, нам очень понравилось, много локаций для фотографий, много слонов, шоу слонов за дополнительную плату
It's just a botanical garden and dinosaur park. Aside from the two decent shows, there's not much else to see. The venue shows its former glory, and the baby elephants are very lively and adorable, but the mahouts were constantly asking for money, obscuring the view. The folk performances were grand, but I didn't really take much away from them.

Food is good with variety of choice. The show is good. Really enjoy alot here!!
Arnold is resting today, but Kaikai is here, and Kaikai is so handsome! The emotional value is full. He flirted with my daughter! I spent 600 baht with my daughter to take a photo with six handsome men and beautiful women. 600 baht of happiness 😊 The buffet is also very rich! But I can't eat it!

High cost performance, cheaper than Phuket and Hua Hin.
The Elephant Village is very very very very remote. We went there in the morning and returned at noon, but it was easy to get a taxi on the way back. There was no need to queue up to ride an elephant. We went there on Sunday, and there were not as many people as said on the Internet.
Bananas are 100b for extra purchase. You can ask him to put a lot of bananas in a basket. You must tell the seller clearly that I gave me a lot of fresh bananas in a basket.
The ticket includes a cup of sugarcane juice, which is delicious, so I didn't buy a drink separately, but even if you don't consume a drink separately, you can go to the observation deck to take pictures (it is said that you can only go to the observation deck, net bag, etc. if you have to consume it online), and you can take bananas to the shore observation deck to feed the elephants that go into the water.
There is Chinese inside, and most of the service staff can speak Chinese. It is indeed mainly Chinese tourists, but I don't think it's a scam.
Three of us rode an elephant. We gave a 100b tip at the beginning (actually we had to give it after the end), so the mahout was very good at the beginning, gave us a parasol (it was very very hot on the spot, so we had to ask the mahout to give us an umbrella), and took the initiative to help us take photos with the elephant. We could ride longer if we wanted.
The performances were average, not very good, but there were a lot of interactions during the ride, such as touching various animals, interacting with transvestites, etc. These were not charged, so you could touch them boldly and take photos with your own phone. Only after the show was there a 100b charge for taking photos with the performers/animals.
There was no forced consumption throughout the whole process, and it was not as scary as Xiao Moushu said. It was just a normal attraction.
There was a rice field restaurant next door with good online reviews, but we didn't go there because the weather was too hot.
It's a bit smelly but acceptable. Riding an elephant is fun. I gave the master a 100 baht tip and took photos for free. It's a new experience in life. It's not bad. The park is very original and there are many animals. Children will like it very much.

It's quite far from the city, a 30-minute drive. The park is small and can be explored in 5 minutes. It seems that if you buy a ticket to pet the tigers, you don't need to buy the park entrance ticket, so I bought a duplicate. The smallest tiger was always sleeping. I don't think it's a good deal. It's worse than the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, where you can hold a tiger cub for just a few dozen yuan.
It was a great experience and would highly recommend to go for it

Booking with Ctrip is very convenient and the experience is great. There are ATVs on the side. Although it is a man-made road, it can also compensate parents with children. After all, the dad went to play shooting, and the children also have to play a project 😁. People who don't play can rest in the air-conditioned room next to the shooting range. If the people who are traveling with you want to take pictures for their friends, they can also get earmuffs at the door and go in together. Across the road is the Sifang Floating Market, you can play shooting and go in and take a walk. In fact, it is right in front of each other, but you have to cross the road at the place with traffic lights. It takes fifteen minutes to go around, which is quite sunny. If you are lazy, you can take the double-decker at the door. It is more cost-effective to buy tickets online one day in advance than to buy them directly on the spot. Although some people commented that it is a bit of an ancient town tour, just treat it as a visit.
It's exciting, pretty good, legal, the coach is very responsible, the safety factor is very good, it's worth a try, it's really good, I have been to many cities, played many projects, and shooting is still a project that trains many people.

The first time I came to watch a Muay Thai match, I chose the super famous [MAX Boxing Gym] in Pattaya, which really exceeded my expectations! 🔥
The atmosphere of the match was very exciting, and each match was very exciting. It was not a performance, but a real fight! The strength of the boxers and the enthusiastic audience on the scene pushed the atmosphere to the top, which is especially suitable for friends who are experiencing Muay Thai for the first time.
The venue is neat and orderly, and the lighting and sound effects are also very professional. It feels like watching a sports show + variety show. The staff service is also very good, the entrance instructions are clear, and there are drinks and snacks. The overall experience is very comfortable.
It is very cost-effective. You can see several matches in one night, and many of them are international players. Feel the combination of Thai local culture and world fighting. Children can also come to watch, which is suitable for the whole family to watch the game together (of course, they must be able to accept some intense scenes).
If you come to Pattaya for tourism, you must come to MAX Boxing Gym to experience the real charm of Muay Thai. This is definitely the most passionate night of my trip!
It's worth seeing at least once. The fun may vary depending on which players comming. Great expe with a trip! Haf a great time and atmosphere.

Underwater World Pattaya เป็นพิพิธภัณฑ์สัตว์น้ำในพัทยา ที่มอบประสบการณ์การสำรวจโลกใต้ทะเลที่น่าตื่นตาตื่นใจ เหมาะสำหรับทุกเพศทุกวัย โดยเฉพาะครอบครัวที่มีเด็กๆ ภายในอควาเรียมมีการจัดแสดงสัตว์น้ำหลากหลายสายพันธุ์ ทั้งจากทะเลและน้ำจืด พร้อมไฮไลท์สำคัญอย่างอุโมงค์อะคริลิกใต้น้ำที่ยาวถึง 105 เมตร ให้เดินชมสิ่งมีชีวิตใต้น้ำแบบ 180 องศา
I booked my Underwater World Pattaya ticket through Trip.com and everything went smoothly. The process was fast, convenient, and the ticket was accepted without any issues at the entrance. The aquarium itself was amazing, especially the tunnel with sharks and rays swimming overhead.A fun bonus was right outside the entrance—there was a large snake you could take photos with (for a small fee). It made the visit even more memorable! Definitely worth it for families or anyone looking for a fun day out in Pattaya.
