Things to Know Before You Go

Before visiting Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Pattaya, it’s important to know that the museum can get busy, especially during weekends and peak tourist seasons. Be prepared for a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. While the exhibits are family-friendly, some of the oddities may be unsettling for younger children, so it’s best to check the details of each section before heading in. The museum has air conditioning, but it can be crowded, so visiting early in the day is recommended to avoid the rush.

How to Get There

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Pattaya is located at the Royal Garden Plaza on Beach Road, just a short walk from Pattaya Beach. If you're staying in central Pattaya, you can easily walk there, or take a taxi, songthaew (shared taxi), or tuk-tuk from your accommodation. The museum is centrally located, making it convenient for tourists to combine a visit with other nearby attractions. There’s also parking available for those arriving by car. The Royal Garden Plaza is a popular shopping mall, so it's well-signposted and easy to find.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Pattaya is during the morning or early afternoon, when the museum tends to be less crowded. Avoid weekends and public holidays if you prefer a quieter experience. The museum is open year-round, but the low season (May to October) might be ideal for those who wish to avoid the large crowds typically found during the high season (November to March). If visiting during peak times, consider purchasing tickets in advance to save time.
