Pattaya Beach Road is a scenic fourkilometre-long crescent of sand backed by a
promenade and palm trees, a busy one-way
road, and a dense layer of luxury hotels,
shops, bars, restaurants and market stalls. The
southern end is home to the nightlife that
lends Pattaya its notoriety, while the northern
end is calmer and less densely built up. Many
of Pattaya’s most exclusive resorts are found
here, with prices reflecting their premium
location opposite the beach and near the
city’s best shopping and nightlife. Mid-range
hotels and open-sided beer bars are found
inside the numbered lanes (sois) linking Beach
Road and Pattaya Second Road.
