About this experience

Your journey begins early in the morning with a comfortable coach ride from Bangkok. Sit back and relax as you leave the city behind and travel southward for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to the vibrant seaside town of Pattaya. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of the Thai countryside.

Upon arrival in Pattaya, your first stop is the Sanctuary of Truth, one of Thailand’s most impressive and awe-inspiring landmarks. This monumental, all-wooden temple is an architectural masterpiece that rises majestically by the sea. Constructed entirely of intricately hand-carved teak wood without the use of nails, the sanctuary is both a spiritual symbol and a work of art.

At Coral Island, enjoy free time to relax and savor a delicious lunch by the sea—your perfect tropical escape! You’ll also have time to explore more of the island or take part in optional activities such as parasailing, banana boat rides, or jet skiing (available at an extra cost).
