Those visiting the capital and looking for a base from which to set off on their beach hopping adventures can stay at the award winning hotel, Metropolitan by COMO Hotels and Resorts.

Not to be missed is a visit to Pattaya which has a lovely stretch of shoreline for you and your family to enjoy. Other coastal areas one can make trips to include Jomtien beach and Koh Samet.
