Like many other people, when it comes to traveling I'm pretty well-rounded as far as where I have been and what I have experienced. I have visited almost every single state in the US plus I have visited a few other places as well such as France, Tuscany, Australia and, you guessed it, Thailand.

If I had to make a top ten list it would be incredibly hard considering there are so many beautiful places to visit on the planet but, if I absolutely had to, I would definitely pick Thailand and place it somewhere between Japan and Rome. Thailand or even more specific Pattaya resides on the east coast Gulf of Thailand about 165 km southeast of Bangkok.

Officially titled as The Kingdom Of Thailand this popular country has more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia and with the incredible combo of both natural beauty, amazing temples and exquisite culinary options, very few countries match up! One of the main attractions in Pattaya is the wonderfully exotic beaches, and also the beach resorts.

There are several different specialty hotels and resorts that offer all kinds of extras that you might not see in places such as the United States. Of course in the USA we have hotels called "boutiques" but it is nothing like Pattaya has to offer. Listed below you will find my top three picks of the best beach resorts located in Pattaya, all of these resorts offer something special so please make sure you take time to read them!

Royal Cliff Beach Resort & Spa - This is one of the very few resorts that actually offers M.I.C.E service which is organized to allow customers such as yourself to have everything you need, allocated in one place. I like to call these "one stop shops." M.I.C.E is an acronym which stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions.

This resort in particular offers 1,200 rooms, 10 award winning restaurants such as Grill Room & Wine Cellar, Maharani, Panorama, Larn Thong & Terrace, Japanese Corner, Palm Terrace and the Royal Bar. All of these restaurants can be found on the website which also include all the information about the restaurant as well as a 360 degree virtual tour!

The Royal Cliff also offers a private beach area which are all within walking distance of an 8000 seat exhibition and convention hall with 56 meeting rooms, and as if that weren't enough, the hall has 5 star catering! The resort is also conveniently located a half kilometer from the airport! This place is absolutely amazing, I only hope you take the time to check it out!

Garden Cliff Resort & Spa - This hotel in particular is much smaller than the Royal Cliff but still just as beautiful! It has about 240 rooms and is located in the east of Thailand close to the sea. The atmosphere surrounding the outside and inside of the building are constructed so that it created harmony with the environment. The building is composed of lobby, coffee shop, ballroom and conference room and the recreation part for example massage room, outdoor swimming pool, etc. Really nice pics so make sure you check the site out!

Riviera Resort - And this is smaller yet, with only about 60 rooms. However, 60 rooms isn't bad at all for what this resort offers, it's not supposed to be a top dog like the other two, this one really is just for people that are looking for something super relaxing, very inexpensive and very quaint.

This would probably be good if you wanted to go somewhere by yourself or maybe even with kids. The other two are great if you want to do business or go with a group of friends or a group of people that are business associates. This place is nice as well however, I find that it has a very nice ambiance.
