Chonburi is home to Thailand's largest tourist oriented city, Pattaya (also spelled Phatthaya), it is the only province outside the Bangkok Metropolitan Area to connect by an eight-lane motorway to Bangkok, 80 km distant. It is home to Thailand's largest and primary seaport, it has a thriving migrant and expatriate population.

Strange place, lots of large statues depicting what happens if you sin against Buddha Interesting to walk around, the plaques on each statue has Thai and English explanations which were helpful. Free to get in, good way to spend a couple of hours
