Walking Street-Pattaya | Thailand

There is no doubt Pattaya, just a ten minute ride from Jomtien is famous world over for its night life  with many attractions to suit all tastes and pockets. 

 

Thai Restaurants, Nightclubs and Massage

International and Thai restaurants, humble street stalls, nightclubs, discotheques, beer and go-go bars are plentiful. Thai body and foot massage is a relaxing option to the hectic lifestyle from around 250 baht an hour it's not to be missed. Shopping Malls like Mikes Mall and The Royal Plaza along the beach road offer an amazing array of products from ice cream to designer clothing and bags at very sensible prices, open until 11pm as well as live markets giving you plentiful opportunity to empty your credit card accounts. First second and third roads are filled with shops and carts selling their wares of every description and amazing prices - be prepared to barter, its custom, light hearted and fun except for the fixed price shops of course.

Had enough of shopping? Then take a stroll along the floodlit beaches of Pattaya or Jomtien and cool those feet off in the warm sea or take a cool shower and get ready for the night ahead. 

Pattaya Nightlife and Night Activities

The evenings activities start at around 8pm, the heats turned up around 10pm, restaurants and bars are open earlier and Pattaya and Jomtien go on until dawn. The center of activity in Pattaya is undoubtedly "Walking Street" just a ten minute ride from Jomtien by baht bus or taxi, everyone who is in the area will visit the famous Walking Street for a trip or two - some hardly ever leave! Walking Street is a neon extravaganza with bars and restaurants, the seafood restaurants perched on stilts out into the bay. After 6.30pm Pattaya Walking Street is pedestrianised but as the night goes on its very busy.

 Thai boxing

Thai boxing can be seen most nights with exhibition matches at many venues often advertised on flyers and posters - keen boxing fans keep your eyes open or visit your local travel agent. Street life is part of Thailand's culture and you will be amazed by the amount of food stalls on the surrounding small Sois (small streets). Souvenir sellers and market traders set up in every available space along with street artists and the occasional performer. The go go bars are unavoidable spilling out onto the lanes of the beach road, a lively atmosphere for sure from six to sixty you'll love it there are enough Thai smiles to go round for everyone!

Pattaya Entertainment 

Pattaya provides more live entertainment than you could ever visit in a single trip, outside Walking Street you will find Hollywood disco on South Pattaya Road, lady boy shows (a must) at Tiffany's and Alcazar, entertaining and unbelievably brilliant. 

Pattayaland is a popular gay area, with many western eateries just a few hundred meters from Walking Street. The mall at the southern end of beach road includes, curiously, a Ripley's Believe it or Not, an entertainment center with roller-coaster simulator, cinema all of which are open until late.

Jomtien has many bars, restaurants and go go bars even English fish and chips so there is no need to visit Pattaya center as many facilities are available locally, however, a visit to Jomtien/Pattaya without a trip to Walking Street Pattaya would be a hugely missed experience.
