PATTAYA, THAILAND, June 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This Thai marathon attracts thousands of runners each year, as well as thousands of spectators who line the route. It is known to be one of the most arduous marathons in the world as the route takes in some of the rough terrain in the area as well as making the competitors tackle several hills.

Pattaya also attracts thousands of tourists each year as it is a popular beach resort and visitors come from all over the world for a holiday. Sports enthusiasts can combine their holiday with this event, whether the intention is to take part or simply observe.

Most of the hotels in Pattaya are located within an easy travelling distance of both the beaches and the marathon route, but if it is necessary to stay further afield then there are buses which run regular services as well as more unusual options such as motorbike taxis and the songthhaew - a cross between a taxi and a bus.

"As this resort is also a popular holiday destination, it is wise to ensure accommodation is booked as far in advance as possible, in order to avoid disappointment," advises Lek Boonlert, Head of Marketing at DirectRooms. If looking for Pattaya hotels there are large numbers in the area which offer an excellent standard of accommodation to suit most tastes and budgets.
