The Amazing Thailand Pattaya Marathon has been running for 33 editions — an extraordinary achievement that places it among Thailand's longest-running road races. Four distances (42K, 21K, 10K, 4.5K) with registration open. Pattaya's coastal roads, tourist infrastructure, and proximity to Bangkok (roughly 1.5 hours) make it one of Thailand's most accessible destination marathons.
