PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya is entering a peak period of activity as the city braces for a surge of foreign tourists in October. With schools reopening and year-end travelers planning vacations, visitors can expect crowded beaches, bustling streets, and an uptick in hotel and service prices.
Local businesses say that demand is already increasing, particularly from tourists from China, Europe, and the Middle East, who are attracted to Pattaya’s beaches, nightlife, and events. Accommodation rates and restaurant prices are expected to rise as hotels reach higher occupancy, while transport services may adjust fares to reflect the busy period.
Pattaya’s nightlife is already ramping up ahead of the October rush. Two bar girls were seen promoting happy hour deals, offering beer from 60 baht, attracting early-arriving visitors and highlighting the city’s lively entertainment scene.
Travel experts advise tourists to plan ahead and book accommodations early to avoid last-minute price hikes. Despite the bustling conditions, Pattaya continues to offer a mix of entertainment, outdoor activities, and cultural experiences for visitors willing to navigate the busy city.
Authorities recommend using alternate routes during peak hours and staying updated on traffic and weather conditions.
