Ever think how Pattaya got its name ? Well here is the answer Pattaya: the name of the town probably derives from the Thai words “Thap Phraya” which means the “General’s Camp”. It was here in 1767 that General Chao Phaya Taksin, later King Taksin the Great, organized and trained his troops coming from Chantaburi on the way to liberate Ayudhaya and the rest of Siam from the occupying Burmese troops.
