Sportbikerecommended vehicle
A hilltop viewpoint with a view over the whole of Pattaya Bay at once — a short but steep switchback climb that a sportbike takes in its stride, best ridden at sunrise while the road is empty.
Route and Road
Climb following the Khao Maikaew Viewpoint signs from Thepprasit Road — the climb is short but has several tight switchbacks, calling for confident riding. That stretch is exactly what makes the route fun on a sportbike.
Surface: mountain switchbacks.
What to See
- Switchbacks with tight turns
- Panorama over all of Pattaya Bay
- Best view at sunrise
Tip from FirstMileLeave before dawn: by 6am the viewpoint is nearly empty, and the sunrise over the bay and Koh Larn island is worth it. Bring a jacket — it's cooler up top.
