With its many attractions and things to do, along with budget-priced hotels, cheap eateries, and economical means of getting around, Pattaya is a fun and relatively cheap place to visit.
Sometimes, though, to keep things cheap, you need to know how and where to seek out the best deals and discounts and how to do things on the cheap in Pattaya.
Fortunately, that’s not too difficult a task.
There are many things you can do and some helpful resources you can use to save money and have more fun while you stay in Pattaya.
For example…..
Searching online and comparing prices has always been the best way to get the best discounts on hotels in Pattaya. But it doesn’t stop there.
You can use the Bolt and Grab online ride-booking apps to get around Pattaya cheaply.
There are also some excellent online resources travelers can use for getting to Pattaya and finding cheap transport to destinations far and wide.
And the same applies to seeing and doing things in Pattaya, such as visiting popular tourist attractions and fun activities.
Cheap tickets for activities and tourist attractions in Pattaya can easily be bought online from a multitude of companies that sell tours, activities, excursions, and tickets to attractions at discounted prices.
Buying discounted tours, activities, or tickets to attractions in Pattaya means paying less than buying directly from the operator or paying on entry.
For example, the price to enter Nong Nooch Gardens in Pattaya is 500 baht, compared to 381 baht if you buy discounted tickets online, subject to change.
The above comparison was made on Klook.com, which offers one of the largest selections of discounted activities in Pattaya.
Savings are large and small, ranging from 10 baht to hundreds of baht per ticket.
Other benefits…..
You might be wondering what great things are there to do in Pattaya, where to find them, and what they cost.
That’s where online activity and entry ticket booking sites come in.
They list all the best-known activities and attractions in Pattaya, plus the latest and greatest things to do, for families with kids, sightseers, adrenaline junkies, and thrill-seekers alike.
All are accompanied by user reviews and ratings to help you decide what’s really worth doing in Pattaya. Whether some things are worth spending your hard-earned cash on or not.

More than just entry tickets…..

Rewards…..
Finding the best things to do in Pattaya at the cheapest prices might be reward enough, but if you plan on visiting many attractions and activities, the rewards offered by online activity booking sites can result in significantly larger savings.
Rewards vary from site to site and might be in the form of points awarded per booking, leaving reviews, and referring friends.
Compare prices…..
The prices are mostly the same, but once you’ve decided to visit a particular attraction, it’s worth comparing prices on other sites.
The best Pattaya discounted activity and entry ticket booking sites:
The only one I have used myself, and can recommend personally is Klook, but other popular sites that offer discounted entry tickets include Viator, ticket2attraction, GetYourGuide, Traveloka, and KKday. Between them, you can find a wealth of top things to do in Pattaya for a lot less money.
