The conference room at Silvertone Hotel in Pattaya

Pattaya is one of Thailand's most popular destinations for group travel: company incentive trips, conferences, sports teams, friends' reunions and tour groups. It is close to Bangkok, has hotels for every budget and plenty to do. Here is how to plan a group trip that runs smoothly.

Choose the right hotel

For a group, the hotel does a lot of the work. Look for:

Enough rooms of the same type, so everyone gets a similar experience.
A central location, so people can explore on their own without long rides.
Meeting space if you have sessions or briefings.
Breakfast included to keep mornings simple.
A bar or venue for a welcome drink or a group night.
A team that responds quickly on WhatsApp or email.

Silvertone Hotel is a 4-star hotel in South Pattaya with king and twin rooms, a meeting room, a breakfast buffet, a courtyard pool and Suroor Bar, Club & Lounge for group events, about five minutes' walk from Walking Street. Our team speaks English, Thai and Chinese. Group and meeting enquiries.

Getting the group to Pattaya

Private van or coach from Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang is the simplest: about 1.5 to 2 hours, with room for luggage. Book in advance and share flight times with the operator.
Staggered arrivals? Arrange a couple of vans at set times rather than one per flight.
Read our airport transfer guide for the options.

Meetings and events

Book the meeting room and any equipment (screen, sound) in advance.
Plan sessions in the morning and leave afternoons free. It is too hot for long outdoor programmes at midday.
A welcome drink or group dinner on the first night helps everyone settle in.

Group activities

Private speedboat to Koh Larn: a full beach day for the team. See our Koh Larn guide.
Cabaret show: Tiffany's or Alcazar, with group seating.
Muay Thai night: watch live fights together.
Go-karting, golf or a water park for active groups.
Thai cooking class for something hands-on.
Private party at Suroor: a neon bar, booths and music for your group, with your company or team name on the screens.

Food and dietary needs

Share dietary requirements early: vegetarian, Jain, halal, allergies. Pattaya has a wide choice of Indian, Middle Eastern and international restaurants, and many can cater for groups with notice.

Planning checklist

Dates, number of rooms and room types (king or twin).
Rooming list, with early check-in or late check-out needs.
Flight times and transfer plan.
Meeting room schedule and equipment.
Group meals, dietary requirements and any welcome event.
Activities and bookings.
A single contact person at the hotel and on your side.
