Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2024

At the end of November, Pattaya hosts the International Fireworks Festival for two days. Here’s all the practical information you need to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Pattaya International Fireworks Festival

For two days, Pattaya will be celebrating the art of fireworks. Several teams from China, Thailand, Europe, India, etc. will be taking part to create the most beautiful and fantastic fireworks display. From 8.00 p.m. onwards, the shows will last between 10 and 15 minutes.

This festival attracts a lot of people. There are usually over 100,000 visitors for this colourful weekend.
But the Festival doesn’t stop with the fireworks, during the two days of the festival there are plenty of beach activities on offer for everyone.
From late afternoon onwards, there are concerts, a parade with musicians, entertainment and more on Pattaya’s Beach Road (the street is closed to traffic for the whole of the festival weekend). There are also street food stalls galore.
The vast majority of people arrive from 5.00 p.m. and slowly settle in to enjoy the first fireworks display, which starts at around 8.00 p.m.

Best Viewing Spots for the Pattaya Fireworks Festival 2024?

Best Viewing Spots for the Pattaya Fireworks Festival 2024

The fireworks are fired from barges in the middle of the bay. This allows as many people as possible to see the show. From the Beach Road beach to the Big Buddha lookout, there are plenty of options.
Those with a room overlooking the bay are obviously superbly placed. The other option is the rooftops of the city’s hotels and bars. The downside is that more and more bars and restaurants with rooftops are organising the evening with an entrance fee (800 THB for some).
Reminder: the festival is free!

Top Pattaya Hotels with Fireworks and Beach Views

What could be better than watching the Pattaya fireworks from your room! Of course you can, but not all hotels in Pattaya have this option. Here are seven of them, but here again, make sure you have a room overlooking the beach and that you want to see the fireworks to avoid any unpleasant surprises!

During the festival weekend, there are lots of people. The best hotels overlooking Pattaya Bay fill up quickly. Others a little further away have a very high occupancy rate, so it is strongly advised to book your room several days or even weeks before the event.
