Jonas Sjostedt is the man in charge at Centara Grand Phratamnak, and it's good to know he keeps his experienced hands on the steering wheel.  He has been working for Centara Hotels for nearly 10 years, and has worked in the hospitality industry all around Thailand. For a Q&A with Jonas just click here, here are his top tips while you're in town:

"Pattaya is a 'City with a Beach' destination. The area in and around it is very large, and is still growing. If you go outside the City you can find many top quality Golf Courses, Family/Adventure Parks, a great Water Park, temples, a floating market, even a winery, and much more. It’s a destination for everyone!

Taking a boat trip to Koh Lan island is a must! The floating market, Nong Nuch Garden (Royal botanic Garden), and a sunset walk by Pattaya Beach Road. A visit on one of the many Seafood restaurants in Na Jomtien is one of my personal favourites!"

Getting There & Around

The drive to and from the closest airport, U-Tapao International, is easy and takes approximately one hour.

From Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport is convenient too, taking just a little longer, around one and a half hours by car or taxi.

A shuttle service connects the hotel to Central Festival Pattaya mall and lifestyle centre on a regular basis.
