About
Pattaya City Viewpoint
Perched on Pratumnak Hill between Pattaya and Jomtien, the viewpoint looks north across the sweep of the bay, the skyline and the islands beyond. It’s the photograph everyone takes — and for good reason.
Come for sunset, stay as the city lights flicker on. It pairs perfectly with a visit to the Big Buddha temple just up the hill.
Highlights
- Sweeping bay and skyline views
- The PATTAYA CITY hillside letters
- Spectacular sunsets
- Close to Big Buddha temple
Good to know
- Arrive 30 minutes before sunset for a good spot.
- Bring a light jacket — it can be breezy.
