Pattaya holidays for groups

What a Pattaya trip with us looks like

Your own pool villa, a boat day to Koh Larn, and a big evening at the clubs, about 2 hours from Bangkok and planned by one person.

Everything is close: the villa, the marina, the beach clubs and the clubs sit within about half an hour of each other.

The whole group rides down from Bangkok together in the party van, and Tanner plans the villa, the boat, the cars and the evenings.

Ask Tanner for your dates, and he holds the villa.

What's on: the big dates

The next big dates are four: the fireworks festival on 27 and 28 November, Wonderfruit from 3 to 7 December, Tomorrowland Thailand from 11 to 13 December, and Songkran from 13 to 15 April 2027.

• Pattaya International Fireworks Festival, 27 and 28 November: along Pattaya Beach. The beach road packs out on both evenings, so the group needs a plan in and out.
• Wonderfruit, 3 to 7 December: a 5-day music and arts festival near Pattaya.
• Tomorrowland Thailand, 11 to 13 December: at Wisdom Valley. See Tomorrowland Thailand.
• Songkran, 13 to 15 April 2027: and Pattaya keeps going with Wan Lai, its own water fight, a few days later.

Every one of these weeks books out early, so the villas and the boats go first. See the Thailand party calendar.

When to go

Go in the six months from November to April, when the northeast wind brings dry weather and calm water for yacht days. From May, the southwest monsoon brings more rain.

• December to February: the peak, sunny and less humid, and the busiest months for villas and boats.
• March and April: hotter, with Songkran and Wan Lai.
• September and October: the wettest months at sea.
• Booking: 2 to 4 weeks ahead for most weekends, and 60 to 90 days ahead for December and Songkran.

Rainy-season showers are often short, and villas cost less, so a Pattaya weekend still works if the group is flexible.

How many days you need

Three to four days is enough for most groups: a pool party, a yacht day to Koh Larn, and one or two big evenings.

• 3 days: the long weekend: arrive, pool party, yacht day, club, home.
• 4 days: adds a beach club day and a slow morning.
• 5 days or more: for birthdays, big groups flying in, or a second yacht day.
• The order: the big evening goes on the day after the yacht, when everyone is rested.

Pattaya also works as part of a bigger trip: Bangkok first, then 2 hours down the road.

What it costs

A party week for 12 with everything handled starts from about ฿300,000, before flights.

• Pool villa: from ฿12,500 a day, and the big party houses for 20 or more at market price.
• Yacht to Koh Larn: your own boat for up to 16 from ฿49,000 for 8 hours; the sailing catamaran for up to 20 is quoted to your plan. The DJ and the bar go on top.
• From Bangkok: a party van for up to 10, ฿3,500 each way.
• VIP section: we get you in, the club bills it, and Tanner confirms the club's own total before you go.
• Extras: a DJ from ฿8,000, a photographer at ฿10,000, close protection from ฿9,000 for an 8-hour shift.

December and Songkran are the most expensive weeks, and prices ease outside the holidays.

Plan it with Tanner: he prices your trip today.

What Tanner puts together for you

There's no fixed package. Tanner builds it around your group of 8 to 20: the villa, the yacht, the cars, the VIP sections and the party. You book your own flights.

• The base: a party-friendly pool villa, with a music cut-off that fits the party.
• The days: a yacht to Koh Larn and a beach club.
• The evenings: your own VIP section at the clubs, with the car waiting.
• The party: a DJ by the pool, a chef and a bartender.

Villas and boats come with a price-match promise; the party layer is what we add.

Where to stay

Stay in your own pool villa: East Pattaya for the biggest party houses, Jomtien for the yacht day, and Pratumnak for Walking Street, about 10 minutes away.

• East Pattaya, towards Huay Yai: the biggest villas, with big gardens and fewer neighbours.
• Jomtien and Na Jomtien: close to the beach and Ocean Marina, where the yachts leave.
• Pratumnak: the quieter hill between Pattaya and Jomtien.
• Wongamat and Naklua: smarter, in the north, close to the beach clubs.

Each villa sets its own music cut-off, anywhere from midnight to 6am, and Tanner confirms it before you book. See Pattaya pool villas.

What Pattaya does best

Three things a group comes for: islands 15 to 30 minutes offshore, Walking Street after dark, and clubs that can stay open until 4am.

• Koh Larn: white-sand beaches like Tawaen and Samae, 15 to 30 minutes from the marina.
• Koh Sak: quieter, and better for snorkelling.
• The beach clubs: Jomtien and North Pattaya for the afternoon.
• Walking Street: the clubs and late bars, with your section ready. See Walking Street.

For the quieter days: golf, a spa, or a long lunch by the pool. See Pattaya yachts.

Put Koh Larn on your calmest day.

Pattaya or Phuket?

Pattaya for a weekend from Bangkok, 2 hours by road with the cheapest villas. Phuket for a week of island yachts and Illuzion, a flight of about 1 hour 30 minutes.

• Pattaya: the shortest trip from Bangkok, the lowest villa prices, Koh Larn by boat.
• Phuket: Phang Nga Bay, the hillside villas and Illuzion, the island's biggest club.
• Both: Bangkok, then Pattaya for the weekend, then a flight to Phuket.

See Phuket holidays and the Pattaya bachelor party weekend.

Only got a weekend? Pattaya, every time.

All inclusive, our way

Search for Pattaya holidays all inclusive and you'll find hotel deals with flights. Ours is the group version: everything on the ground, planned by one person.

Insider tip: ask for the villa's music cut-off in writing before you book. It sets the whole party.

Pattaya holidays in short

• Getting there: about 2 hours by road from Bangkok.

• Best months: November to April.
• How long: three to four days.
• The base: your own pool villa.
• The day out: a yacht to Koh Larn.
• Late close: licensed entertainment venues in Chonburi, Pattaya included, may open until 4am under Ministerial Regulation No. 3, the Government Public Relations Department confirms (checked November 2026); ordinary bars close earlier, usually by 2am.

Checked November 2026.

Getting there

You go by road: about 150 kilometres from Bangkok and closer from Suvarnabhumi Airport, about 90 minutes to 2 hours by car.

• Suvarnabhumi: the better airport, on the Pattaya side of Bangkok.
• The party van: for up to 10, from arrivals straight to the villa.
• Timing: avoid Friday afternoons, when Bangkok heads for the coast.
• From Phuket or Samui: fly into Bangkok, and the van meets you at arrivals.

See Bangkok to Pattaya.

Ask Tanner to have the party van waiting when you land.
