Pattaya neighbourhoods

Cafes, hillside restaurants, spas, and scooter hire sit along Pratumnak Road and the sois. Breakfast here, then drop down to the bay or continue south to Jomtien Beach.

Jomtien is the long beach south of Pratumnak Hill. The beach road and Thepprasit are the practical spines: gyms, spas, karting, and bike or car hire sit along them. It is the usual base if you want a long stretch of sand.

Central Pattaya is the grid between Beach Road and Second Road, from North Pattaya down toward the Walking Street arch. Songthaews loop those two roads. This is where most first-night dinners, spas, gyms, and hospital or bank errands sit.

Walking Street is the short south bay strip that closes to cars at night. By day it is a landmark for Bali Hai Pier and the bottom of Beach Road. Use it to pick seafood, a show, or a scooter when you are already in South Pattaya. The Roof Bar and Diner is on the fourth floor at Walking Street.

Naklua sits north of Central Pattaya, around Wong Amat Beach and the Naklua Road corridor. It is the usual base if you want the north bay and Sanctuary of Truth without starting on Beach Road. Wong Amat is the beach tip on that peninsula. Spas and hospital errands sit along that stretch.

Wong Amat is the north-bay beach on the Naklua peninsula, a calmer mainland stretch north of central Beach Road. Hotels and condominiums line the shore; unlike Pattaya Beach, there is no road along the sand. Naklua is the wider corridor around this beach and Naklua Road. North Pattaya Road, Terminal 21, and the bus terminal are on the next belt south.

North Pattaya is the North Pattaya Road, Terminal 21, and bus terminal belt, north of the Beach Road and Second Road grid. It is not Wong Amat or the Naklua Road corridor. Wong Amat is the beach tip further north, and Naklua is the wider corridor. Spas, scooter hire, and the coach station sit along this stretch.

Na Jomtien sits south of Jomtien Beach, toward Sattahip. It is the usual base for Columbia Pictures Aquaverse, Ramayana Water Park, and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, with the Floating Market on Sukhumvit toward that stretch.

Bang Saray sits south of Na Jomtien toward Sattahip. Cartoon Network Amazone is in Bang Saray. Columbia Pictures Aquaverse is the water park at that site. The south parks and the Sukhumvit stretch sit on this corridor. Na Jomtien is the stretch just north.

East Pattaya is the inland Sukhumvit and Nong Prue corridor east of the beach grid. Tiger Park and the Floating Market are on Sukhumvit in Nong Prue. Underwater World is on the same road. Nong Nooch Tropical Garden sits further south on that east corridor.

South Pattaya is the wider south bay corridor around South Pattaya Road, Bali Hai Pier, and the sois off Pattaya Tai. Walking Street is the short night strip at the bottom of Beach Road. Beach Road is the promenade north of Walking Street.

Beach Road runs along Pattaya Beach toward the Walking Street arch. Makkha Health and Spa is a spa on Beach Road, between Soi 4 and Soi 5. Ripley's Believe It or Not is inside Royal Garden Plaza. Anytime Cafe is beside Bali Hai Pier.

Ruby Club is on Soi 6, between Beach Road and Second Road, north of Central Pattaya Road. I.Siam Land Health Massage 2 is the massage shop above McDonald's on Soi 6, opposite Pattaya Beach.

Tree Town night market is on Soi Buakhao near Second Road, between Pattaya Second Road and Third Road. Massage shops, food, and nightlife sit on this soi.

Second Road is Pattaya Sai 2, the inland spine opposite Beach Road, from North Pattaya down toward South Pattaya. Songthaews loop this road and Beach Road. Art in Paradise is a 3D trick-art museum on this road.
