Pattaya City is conveniently located in Chonburi province at the Eastern seaboard of the Gulf of Thailand, approximately 140 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, and only a 90-minutes drive from the capital's new Suvarnabhumi Airport. Due to ambitious road construction since the 1990s, the motorway connection between Bangkok and Pattaya has constantly improved, so that now it is only a two-hours drive between both cities.
Pattaya's central location near Bangkok and the kingdom's main international airport, from where several regional budget airlines offer inexpensive domestic and international flights, also makes the seaside resort a perfect hub for tourists who enjoy travelling around Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia.
