Pattaya also has cultural tourism assets, including many Buddhist temples all around the city. Pratumnak Hill houses a Buddha image with beautiful view of the bay of Pattaya and Jomtien Beach giving a very good overview of the city, especially for the sunset. A short distance from Beach Road is the Sanctuary of Truth. Project launched in 1981, it is the temple made of wood with traditional architecture, measured by its highest peak of 105 meters.

Yansangwararam Wat temple is also one of the most beautiful with its surrounding gardens. Near the town is the Khao Chi Chan cliff, considered as the largest representation in the world of Buddha. It is directly represented on the cliff with a layer of gold flakes.

Pattaya Floating Market, although not traditional, remains to be seen. Besides, the Botanical Garden Nong Nooch is the ideal place to discover the local flora while wandering through the calm and serene atmosphere of the garden.
