Just 20 years ago, Pattaya V was a sleepy fishing village. Today, with roads
linking it to Bangkok in justunder two hours, it hasbecome Thailand's premier
seaside resort, rivalling itsinternational counterparts forits sheer energy, spectacle, and ability to
provide excellent value for a family holiday.Located on Beach Road, in the very centre of
town, amid 5.7 hectares of lush gardens, theRoyal Garden Resort provides the perfect base
for holiday or business. You are just a fewsteps from the beach, shops, and restaurants,
and yet, once you enter the open-air lobby,
appointed in Thai and Burmese statuary, paintings and tapestries, you are clearly inside a self-contained resort oasis.
Each of the 300 newly renovated rooms and suites provides this same aura of calm, in pure tropical comfort, along with all the modern resort amenities you would expect from a top-calibre holiday and business resort, including in-room video and IDD lines. Each room has its own terrace or balcony with serene garden and ocean views. You will probably find yourself out here quite often. Whether reading, dining, working, or just relaxing, it provides an exceptionally pleasant ambience.
The staff members, too, are fluent in many languages. But the most important languages they speak are their genuine smiles and sincere gestures, all part of their own calm, gentle, and uniquely Thai culture, saying, very simply: "We will do whatever we can to make your stay with us as memorable and comfortable as possible.
You are never far from a delectable feast when you stay here. The adjoining Royal Garden Plaza houses the internationally renowned Benihana Japanese-American steak house, where every meal is a show, prepared by a teppanyaki chef right at your table. Inside the resort, the Garden Cafe serves up spicy local delicacies and delicious internationalcuisine.
For pool-side fare, the Loy Nam provides barbecue snacks and salads; or you can enjoy Sizzler, Pizza Hut and other favourites back in the Royal Garden Plaza;
and whenever the mood for a cool tropical drink strikes, simply drop by the Elephant Bar & Lounge.
The Royal Garden Resort has justly gained a reputation as a conference and incentive event leader along the entire Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.
From intimate cocktail receptions and small seminars to regional and international meetings of 300 guests, conferences can be tailored to any-size venue; support it with impeccable service, superior banqueting, and state-of-the art audio-visuals. For travel incentives, anything can be made to happen, either inside the banqueting hall or outside along the lotus pond and gardens.
Highly recommended is a combination of any of the following leisure and sports activities: swimming in or lounging by the 600 square metre pool, the largest in Pattaya; leisurely strolls around the lotus ponds and gardens; a regimen of exercise or tennis followed by a Thai massage in the total fitness centre; horseback riding at nearby stables; water sports activities arranged by the resort, including windsurfing, parasailing, and water-skiing, deep-sea fishing, or scuba-diving around gorgeous corals; golf at various
championship courses (a total of eight 18-hole courses are located between just 15 and 45 minutes away).
Pattaya has become an international shopping centre for Thai crafts, fine silks and cottons, expert tailoring, exquisite jewellery, and top fashions. The adjoining Royal Garden Plaza is in the centre of it all, comprising over one hundred of Pattaya's best speciality boutiques, fashion displays, and more. Treasures of a different order are to be found on the Plaza's third floor inside Asia's only Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, housing some of the world's most bizarre artefacts and fascinating optical illusions as well as Ripley's Motion Master Theatre, a cinematic roller-coaster ride in which the viewer must literally strap himself in before take off.
All of Pattaya's renowned night-time attractions are within easy walking distance of the resort, including the Palladium, the world's largest discotheque.
