Except, in fact, the observation deck at this place on the hill is another small temple of Wat Khao Phra Bat, an outdoor coffee shop with the the best view of the city, souvenir shops and shops, tower with radio station antennas and a monument to the admiral and the representative of the Thai the royal family of Krom Luang Jumborn Khet Udomsakdi, which is a lot made for the development of the navy of Thailand.
The majestic statue of Admiral Crom is mounted on the high point of Pattaya and is surrounded by military subjects. Thais respect the admiral with great respect and honor him as the saint, bringing flowers and incenses to the statue, as in the temples.
In the area adjacent to the monument is prohibited to smoke bring food and drinks there. That is, the rules are almost as temple, and this must be considered. The ground in front of the monument faces sea and made in the form of the nose of the ship. There are benches and binoculars, and the view opens to both the city center and the Pratamnak area, with outlines of Koh Lan island in the distance.
In addition to the area around the monument, which closes at night, There is also an absolutely free to visit area with railings and benches near the parking lot, there you can come around the clock. There, around, are the main shops, cafes, gazebo and temple.

It is better to climb to the observation deck in good clear weather, so the photos are more colorful. The morning lighting is good suitable for capturing beautiful views with azure water, and in the evenings from the viewpoint you can watch the sunsets. Immediately after calling Pattaya sun below lights up millions of lights and it is also a sight worthy spectacle. I specifically came 2 times, in the afternoon and after the onset of darkness.

How to get there
Public transport to the viewing platform does not go, so You can get either by transport, your own or rented, on taxi or walk. You can climb the hill either from the Pratamnak area, either from the central part of Pattaya. One road from the center goes up skirting the hill, from the Bali Hai pier, through the big letters PATTAYA and the lighthouse, but you can go on the other side, past the kart, to the police plot between two peaks of the hill. On one of them, the farthest from the sea, there will be a temple with a statue of the Golden Buddha and a Chinese temple, and on another is an observation deck with a monument to Admiral Crom.
Across the street from the police station at the bottom of the hill is parking for big tourist buses and pretty cool up go three tracks. Better to go right, she’s with the pavement, rather short and quickly leads to a small parking at the temple and lookout.
Park a bike is not a problem, there is always a place. Same car better to park on the way, still on the rise. When you go, see standing in a row. Because further, at the very top is very small parking spaces for cars. Well, or on the lowest parking leave, where the tour buses.
