What kind of rental car should I get for Pattaya?

Pattaya knows how to entertain. You could spend a good while here and hardly scratch the surface. To take in as much as you can in this dynamic metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that city driving generally comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don't worry though, because a mini or compact car can make this much easier to navigate. If you want to venture out of the city and discover some of the beaches that Pattaya is renowned for, you'll probably prefer a car with more room. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.
