The Ambassador City Jomtien is a large resort at Jomtien Bay, near Pattaya, Thailand, with "over 4,210 rooms" . Located about 8 km south of Pattaya, it occupies a 40-acre (160,000 m2) campus overlooking the beach and nearby mountains. It consists of five buildings that each contain 150 to 2,000 suites, plus eight restaurants, several bars and nightclubs, a convention center, and a sports/fitness facility that claims to have Asia's largest swimming pool.

Famous quotes containing the words ambassador and/or city:
“An ambassador is not simply an agent; he is also a spectacle.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
musical, self-sufficient,
I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
Rich, hemm’d thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
