What is a private tour in Pattaya?
A private tour in Pattaya is your own car and driver for 10 hours, from ฿6,500 for up to 4 guests, VAT included. You choose the stops, the driver waits at each one and nobody else joins your group. A Pattaya private tour with Tanner can take in the Sanctuary of Truth in the morning, lunch by the sea and the viewpoint at sunset, and ends back at the villa in time for the party.
How much is a private tour in Pattaya?
The Pattaya private tour price starts from ฿6,500 for 10 hours with a luxury van and driver, for up to 4 guests, VAT included, and entry tickets are paid at each stop. The Pattaya tour cost for a bigger group depends on the cars: a party van takes up to 10, priced for your day. Every private tour starts with your own car and driver, then you pick the day, and Tanner gets back to you right away with the car.
These are our Pattaya private tour packages, top end first:
- The island day: your own boat to Koh Larn and the quieter bays. 8-hour boat day from ฿49,000, with the DJ and the bar on top.
- The highlights day: the Sanctuary of Truth, the Big Buddha and the viewpoint. ฿6,500 for 10 hours.
- The day further out: gardens, the cliff Buddha and a floating market. ฿6,500 for 10 hours.
- With a tour guide: temples, the flower market and the stories behind them. ฿10,000 for 8 hours.
- With a personal assistant: tickets, bookings and translation handled all day. ฿9,000 a day, on top.
Which is better: a private tour or a group tour?
A private tour is best for a group of friends: from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, you choose the stops, leave when you want and the driver waits at each one. Most Pattaya tours sold online are shared buses on a fixed timetable with strangers on board; private tours in Pattaya are the opposite, one car, one group and one plan. First time in Pattaya? Tanner's pick is the highlights day, finishing at the viewpoint for sunset.

What is the best one-day route?
The best Pattaya private tour itinerary for one day is the Sanctuary of Truth in the morning, the Big Buddha on Pratumnak Hill at midday and the viewpoint over Pattaya Bay at sunset. It fits inside the 10 hours of your car: the Sanctuary is about 15 minutes from Central Pattaya by car (Google Maps, checked November 2026). The Sanctuary of Truth runs day tours from 8am to 6pm and night tours from 6:20pm to 8:30pm, and adult tickets are ฿500 for the day and ฿700 for the night, the same price for Thai and foreign visitors, the Sanctuary's own site says. Children from 110 to 140 cm pay ฿250 by day and ฿350 at night, and under 110 cm go free, the same site lists. It calls itself the largest wooden castle in the world, carved by hand since 1981. Then it's up Pratumnak Hill to the Big Buddha at Wat Phra Yai and on to the free viewpoint over the bay. Add a tour guide from ฿10,000 for an 8-hour day to tell the story at every stop.
How do we see Koh Larn on our own boat?
The best way to see Koh Larn is your own boat, with our 8-hour boat day from ฿49,000 for up to 16, and the DJ and the bar on top. Your own yacht leaves Ocean Marina, anchors off the beach away from the crowds and leaves when you want. The public ferry runs to a timetable and fills with day-trippers, and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee's 2026 notice bans drinking at public piers and on scheduled public passenger boats; it names public boats, not private charters, so your own bar opens on board.
Under the Navigation in Thai Waters Act, a boat carrying more than 12 passengers is a passenger vessel, and it can't carry more passengers than its licence states, the Marine Department's law database shows. That's why Tanner matches the boat to your head count.
What is there further out of town?
The day further out covers the big tropical gardens, the giant Buddha image cut into the cliff at Khao Chi Chan and a floating market for lunch, all inside 10 hours from ฿6,500. These stops sit a drive south of the city: Khao Chi Chan and Wat Yannasangwararam are about 35 minutes each from Central Pattaya by car (Google Maps, checked November 2026). Your driver waits at every stop, so nobody has to find a taxi back. Add a photographer at ฿10,000 for the day, or keep the van for the evening and roll straight into dinner.
The carved Buddha at Khao Chi Chan is open daily until 6pm, TAT lists.
Planning a group? Plan it with Tanner
What about cars for bigger groups?
Bigger groups take more cars: a luxury van takes up to 4 guests and a party van takes up to 10. Tanner matches the cars to your plan, and the same driver stays with you all day, with the bags, shopping and a change of clothes in the van. Back at the pool villa, dinner from a private chef is ready, and then your VIP section waits at one of the big Pattaya nightclubs. See every car on the VIP transport page.
