Chon Buri earns 76.5 billion baht in tourism income each year. The amount accounts for 10.4 percent of Thailand’s annual tourism income of 734.6 billion baht. Statistics in 2011 show that Chon Buri welcomed over eight million visitors, mainly from Russia, China, Germany, Taiwan, and India.

The Pattaya beach resort has city status. Once a tiny village, the city has developed into a renowned international playground. It provides fine spots for swimming and relaxation. But the emphasis of Pattaya is more on activity than relaxation. It offers a variety of water sports, such as sailing, windsurfing, scuba driving, deep-sea fishing, and water-skiing. Moreover, it is an excellent choice of land-based activities, ranging from golf to horse riding. Only 45 kilometers from Pattaya, U-tapao airport is equipped with facilities to handle charter flights from overseas.
