My mother lives in Pattaya but I only came to know about this place recently. It's a beautiful and special Chinese temple. Locals go there to pray to God, believing that it helps improve their unlucky year.
No entry fee. Big parking available just opposite the temple. I suggest you combine with a trip to Pattaya or Bangsaen. There are plenty of good and reasonable priced seafood restaurants nearby. You can visit the temple in late morning then enjoy your lunch at one of these restaurants.

3. Royal Lakeside Golf club

This remains one of the best golf courses on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand. It is about half-way between Bangkok and Pattaya and gets golfers from both areas.
The clubhouse and service are outstanding and the 18-hole golf course is maintained to the same high standard.
The caddies are well trained, friendly and try to make everyone welcome at their course.
Our only complaint is that they allow groups of up to six golfers to play together -something that would happen in no other country in the world - and this slows play to a standstill.
We were held up[ by a group of six ahead of us at the 10th tee and were forced to go back and play the first nine holes over again. This was the only way we could hope to finish our golf before darkness came down!
4. Sriracha Tiger Zoo

I was disappointed in this zoo. They had pig racing which I thought was over rated and really not interesting to me. The crocodiles were so docile they didn't seem alive, two girls in my group wanted to feed them and they were not interested!! The staff had to coach the crocodiles to get them active to eat. The crocodile show was corny which was really just a show of guys sliding up to and putting their heads in their mouths. You have the opportunity to have a photo with one and many queued up. You could also have a photo with a tiger cub, but it was very rushed. The lion show really was just a circus show most of us have seen more times than enough, the usual jumping through a fire hoop. The elephant show was the most entertaining of all the shows. I did not like the tiger enclosures as they looked like all concrete and you couldn't get a good look at them. All the commentating was in Thai, so we couldn't understand a word of what was said. If you don't like animal circuses, don't bother with this zoo, there are better places to go.

Just played the course second time. Knowing already something about the holes gives the idea how to go for them. Course is in reasonable shape, layout very good, caddies a little bit slowly going but they seem to know the course and greens. Clubhouse ok but needs updating. Altogether, nice golfing day. Recommended warmly.

Que du plaisir de faire ce parcours de golf miniature. Le tout est magnifiquement entretenu et très bien décoré. Les prix sont corrects et on en a pour son argent. Nous avons passé un bon moment de détente après avoir profité de la plage.
7. Ang Sila Old Market 133 Years
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By David B - Rayong, Thailand
Ang Sila is one of the “attractions” featured on the photographic billboards arching the highways as you drive into Chonburi Province.
Its fame rests in its history as a stone mason community, and in particular the production of high quality mortars and pestles.
But unless you are looking to buy a mortar and pestle it is not worth going out of your way because it is just a street lined with stalls one after another selling the same mortar and pestles and some very tacky souvenirs.
However, I did go because since my last visit I somehow lost the pestle to my mortar and needed to replace it.

Reviewed By You H - Malaysia
It is not located in the town and secluded beside a main road.
Plus, there were only a few shops from Japan, some cafe and Japanese restaurant inside this place.
We just found a Japanese restaurant and had our lunch.
After that, we just walked around and took a some photos.
Nothing special we can do at there.
You can skip this place if you are in hurry or with limited time.

Located approximately 13 kilometers from the city of Chonburi, this popular beach features seafood and drink vendors, deck chair rentals and fresh water bathing.
Reviewed By Rob N - Ottawa, Canada
Was not really impressed with this beach, jammed with loungers on some sections, better from the traffic circle north as there is beach between the water & chairs. The water can be clear or murky depending on the day, also lots of trash also. Visited it once, no plan to come back.
10. Bang Pra Reservoir

Reviewed By Mr_Nobody_1979 - Krakow, Poland
It's a nice and quiet place very close to Si Racha and within easy reach from Pattaya. Apart from cycling track, there's not too much to see or do, infrastructure is still underdeveloped, almost no places to sleep or eat. Definitely not a must see in the near future unless something starts to happen over there.
