Overview

Overview

This 6-day Bangkok and Pattaya package is built for travelers who want the best of both worlds: the laid-back beach energy of Pattaya and the fast-paced culture of Bangkok, without wasting a single day on transit. You will spend two nights in Pattaya, where a speedboat ride to Coral Island (Koh Larn) gives you clear water, white sand, and enough time for snorkeling before a proper seafood lunch.

From there, the trip moves inland to Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, one of Southeast Asia's largest botanical gardens, before continuing to Bangkok for three nights covering Safari World, a free day for shopping or a Thai massage, and a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River. The pace is relaxed enough for families and elderly travelers, with private transfers between cities and no long walking days.

โ€œIt was our best decision to choose Gomayu. We had a wonderful experience with GOMAYU during our Thailand trip. Hotels, Location and itinerary all were well planned and was according to our expectations. Response and communication was very good in Thailand as well. You made our trip very smooth, hassle free and stress free from begning to the end of our trip. This trip was memorable, as me and my husband got to celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary together in the beautiful place of Thailand and credit goes to GOMAYU for all the arrangements . We are very much satisfied with your service and hope to have other trips with you soon. I would happily Recommend GOMAYU to my friends and family for their excellent service and professional support.โ€

โ€œWe had an unforgettable 5D4N trip to Bali with Gomayu Holidays! From the very beginning, the communication was smooth, clear, and professional. Everything was perfectly organized; airport pickup, hotel check-ins, and daily tours were always on time, with no stress at all. Our stay was split between a beautiful private pool villa in Seminyak and a comfortable room at Grand Mega Resort, both of which exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-balanced with adventure, culture, and relaxation. We really enjoyed the watersports (banana boat, jet ski, parasailing), the stunning Uluwatu Temple with Kecak dance, and the romantic candlelight dinner at Jimbaran Beach. The Bali swing and tandem ATV ride were absolute highlights and so much fun! Visiting Lempuyang Temple (Gate of Heaven) was magical and very well arranged despite the crowds. We had some spare time to visit the malls and try local food as well. Special thanks to the guide and driver, who was friendly, helpful, super-flexible and always made sure we were comfortable. We didnโ€™t have to worry about anything as everything was well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone planning a hassle-free and memorable Bali trip. Thank you, Gomayu Holidays, for making our holiday truly special!โ€

FAQ

Good to know

Nepali passport holders can generally get a visa on arrival or an e-visa for short tourist stays in Thailand. Requirements change periodically, so confirm the current rules with the Royal Thai Embassy or your Gomayu travel consultant before booking flights.
Complete guide

Coral travel guide for Nepalis

Getting There

Most travelers from Nepal fly into Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), Bangkok's main international gateway. Direct and one-stop flights are available from Kathmandu via major regional hubs. Suvarnabhumi is also the airport used for departure at the end of this itinerary, so keep your return ticket details handy for the transfer team.

Getting Around Pattaya and Bangkok

Pattaya and Bangkok are connected by a well-maintained highway, and the private transfer included in this package removes the need to navigate public buses or shared vans. Within Pattaya, Beach Road and Walking Street are easily reached on foot or by songthaew (shared pickup truck taxi). In Bangkok, the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are useful for the free day, especially for reaching Chatuchak Market or Asiatique.

Coral Island in Detail

Koh Larn, commonly called Coral Island, sits about 7 km off the coast of Pattaya. Speedboats from Bali Hai Pier take roughly 30 to 45 minutes each way. The island has several beaches, with Tawaen Beach being the most popular for its calm, clear water and range of water sports operators. Snorkeling is best in the morning before the water gets busier with day-trip crowds.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Detail

Nong Nooch spans close to 600 acres and is organized into distinct themed zones, including a French garden, a cactus garden, and a mammoth-and-dinosaur display. The garden also runs a Thai cultural show and an elephant show in the same theater complex, typically four rounds a day. Because the property is large, guided golf cart or tram transport is often available for those who prefer not to walk the full grounds.

Safari World in Detail

Safari World is split into two zones: the drive-through Safari Park, where animals roam in open enclosures viewed from your vehicle, and Marine Park, home to the dolphin, sea lion, orangutan, and bird shows. Show schedules differ between weekdays and weekends, with weekends typically offering more showtimes. Plan your route through the park in advance since shows run at different arenas throughout the day.

Bangkok's Free Day: What to Do

Chatuchak Weekend Market, open only on Saturdays and Sundays, is one of the largest markets in the world with thousands of stalls selling clothing, antiques, and street food. If your free day falls on a weekday, Asiatique The Riverfront is open daily and combines shopping, dining, and river views. A traditional Thai massage, widely available across the city, is a relaxing way to close out a busy trip.

Currency and Money Tips

The Thai Baht (THB) is the local currency. ATMs are widely available in both Pattaya and Bangkok, though most charge a foreign transaction fee. Major hotels, malls, and restaurants accept credit cards, but street markets and smaller vendors are cash-only, so keep small denominations on hand.

What to Pack

Light, breathable clothing works best given Thailand's tropical climate. Bring swimwear and a change of clothes for the Coral Island day, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle. Modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) is advisable for temple visits if you add any during your free day.
