Pattaya has a reputation, and most of it comes from a few streets in the centre of town. Step a little away from them and you find a different place: families eating grilled squid on the sand at sunset, monks walking through the morning market, ferries full of schoolchildren heading to the islands, and a hinterland of orchards, lakes and temples where hardly any foreigners go.
These twenty routes are the Pattaya I like: the islands, the viewpoints, the markets, the gardens and the easy day trips along the eastern coast. Almost all of them work with children, and none of them need a nightclub.
