Pattaya neighbourhoods
Compare Jomtien, Pratumnak, Wongamat, Central Pattaya, East Pattaya and Naklua to find the right neighbourhood for you.
Jomtien
Relaxed beach living, south of the city
Jomtien stretches along a 6 km beach just south of Pattaya. It is calmer than the city centre, popular with families and long-stay expats, and home to the Immigration Office, Thepprasit night market and a growing line of beachfront condos.
Pratumnak
The quiet hill between Pattaya and Jomtien
Pratumnak Hill sits between Pattaya Bay and Jomtien, with leafy streets, Cosy Beach and some of the city's most desirable low-density condos. It is a short drive to Walking Street yet feels a world away.
Wongamat
Upscale high-rises on a clean north beach
Wongamat Beach in Naklua is lined with luxury high-rise towers and resort hotels. The sand is cleaner and quieter than Pattaya Beach, and the Sanctuary of Truth is minutes away.
Central Pattaya
Walk to everything
Central Pattaya puts Central Festival, Beach Road, restaurants and nightlife on your doorstep. Compact condos here are popular entry-level investments with steady rental demand.
East Pattaya
Pool villas, gardens and international schools
East of Sukhumvit Road, including Mabprachan and Pong, you will find spacious pool villas, gated villages and land at a fraction of beachside prices. International schools and golf courses are close by.
Naklua
Authentic Thai seaside district in the north
Naklua keeps a traditional Thai fishing village character alongside new developments, with seafood markets, the Sanctuary of Truth and development land with sea views.
