Pattaya Beach (Chonburi)

Pattaya never does things by halves. The Pattaya Countdown 2026 turns the entire bay into a stage. Fireworks are launched from barges in the ocean, meaning you can see them from anywhere along the 3km beach road. The main stage at Central Pattaya Beach (or often Bali Hai Pier) hosts a 3-day music festival leading up to the big night. It is loud, fun, and completely free.

How to get there:

Bus/Van: Take a bus from Ekkamai or Mochit to Pattaya.

Local: Songthaew (Baht Bus) along Beach Road.
