Songkran (Thai New Year, around April 13-15) turns Pattaya into one of the country's biggest water-fight festivals, extended into the 'Wan Lai' celebrations in mid-to-late April. Expect city-wide soakings, street parties, big crowds, and higher prices — protect your phone in a waterproof pouch and embrace it. Book accommodation well ahead.
