What is announced for 2026
We label each event the way its source left it on 22 October 2026. CONFIRMED: the organiser has published the date, place and price or entry terms. ANNOUNCED: the organiser has named the event but left details out or unclear. LAST-YEAR-ONLY: only last year's edition is documented, so its dates, line-up and prices are history, not a promise for this year.

Ocean Marina Jomtien lists fireworks cruising from 27 to 29 November, without public times or prices. The city's displays are on 27 and 28 November only; the marina's third day is not a third night of city fireworks.
Pattaya Mail warned of an early rush for beachfront rooms, restaurant tables and viewing space. Book a room you can cancel, then check the city's programme and road plan in the week before.
How the 2025 festival ran
The 2025 festival ran on 28–29 November. These details are LAST-YEAR-ONLY: they show the pattern, not this year's plan.
- The fireworks began at 19:45 each night, and the viewing points were along Pattaya Beach, the Tourism Authority of Thailand's event page said.
- Each evening opened at 17:45 with a tribute ceremony, then stage shows, Khon dance and the fireworks, Pattaya Mail reported.
- Beach Road was closed to ordinary traffic from North to South Pattaya, with service lanes kept open.
- The city set up 16 parking zones, including Pattaya City Hall, Wat Nong Yai and Big C Central Pattaya, with free shuttle buses to the beach.
Where to watch
The free way is the sand of Pattaya Beach, in the public viewing zones, which also have the largest crowds. Hotels and beach clubs sell their own viewing packages for the two nights; these are separate bookings, and their hours are the venue's, not the firing times.
| Venue | Hours | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avani Pattaya Resort: rooftop viewing | 19:00–22:00 each night | 4,500 baht ++; children 4–11 2,250 baht ++; under 4 free | CONFIRMED |
| Holiday Inn Pattaya: rooftop package and buffet dinner | Buffet 19:00–22:00 | Rooftop from 2,999 baht; buffet 2,499 baht for adults | CONFIRMED on 14 October 2026 |
| LAY Beach Club | 19:00–22:00; choose one night | 3,000 baht net indoors or 5,000 baht net with a beach view, as credit to spend; buffet packages 4,200, 7,000 and 9,000 baht | CONFIRMED |
| Meliá Pattaya: Yitong restaurant and Sky Bar | 19:00–22:00; choose one night | Restaurant from 2,800 baht net; Sky Bar packages 3,000, 4,800 and 5,800 baht | CONFIRMED |
A sea view does not guarantee a clear view of the fireworks. Before you pay, ask what the booking includes, which way the terrace faces, and whether a minimum spend or set menu applies.
Planning the two nights
- Arrive before Beach Road closes, carry water and agree a meeting point in case your group is separated.
- Leave the car behind if you can: last year the city ran free shuttle buses from its parking zones, and getting around Pattaya has the songthaew fares.
- After the last show, waiting a while before a cross-town journey is often easier than joining the first rush.
- Loy Krathong falls three days earlier, on 24 November: Loy Krathong 2026 has the city's plan.
