Hotels in Chonburi, Thailand

Chonburi is a coastal province east of Bangkok, famous for its Pattaya nightlife and pristine islands like Koh Larn. The climate is hot year-round (80-95°F or 27-35°C), with a rainy season from May to October that's ideal for bargain seafood feasts at Bang Saen's fishing villages, while the dry months from November to February are perfect for jet-skiing or parasailing in the Gulf of Thailand. If you want quieter shores, head to Samae San Island for snorkeling over coral reefs, or explore the towering Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai-just 15 minutes from Pattaya Beach.
