Pattaya Park Tower stands on Jomtien beach and offers both an observation level and a descent ride from the top — the thing that separates it from Pattaya's other viewpoints.

Two things to do

• Go up for the view — Jomtien beach and Pattaya bay from height
• The tower descent — riding a cable from the top down to the ground

The ride is priced separately from the viewing deck; ask exactly what a ticket covers before buying.

Worth knowing

• The descent has weight and health restrictions — check first if that is why you are coming
• Late afternoon gives the best view and the biggest crowd
• The ride may not run on windy days
