For purposes of this publication we define Pattaya City bordered by Sukhumvit Road to the East, Naklua to the North and Pratamnak Hill to South.
The Pattaya area is clearly the center of the city's entertainment district, internationally known for its nightlife and adult entertainment.
The area features hundreds of beer bars, go-go bars, pubs and other entertainment venues, hundreds of hotels with many dinning options.
Walking Street is perhaps the most popular tourist destination.
The area running between Beach Road and Second Road from Soi 6 to Soi 13 features many beer bars.
The area towards Naklua from Soi 5 to the circle is more sedate, with 5-star hotels and formal dining.
Pattaya Beach is very popular with tour groups partaking in an array of water sport options, including para-sailing, banana boats and jet skis.
There are numerous shopping opportunities in Pattaya.
Fun city boasts several shopping malls, huge jewelry stores, custom furniture, and art galleries, with many spas, massage and health venues.
Getting around Pattaya is very easy. If your destination is a bit too far to walk, simply hop on the next baht bus, press the buzzer at your desired stop, and hand the driver ten baht for each passenger.
