Jomtien Beach is ideal for those in search of a
more secluded location and a milder beach
culture than that of Pattaya Beach. Although
still relatively peaceful, Jomtien also has a
long strip of Beach Road lined with shops and
restaurants. The quieter nightlife and less
dynamic shopping scene may be a turn off for
some, but what Jomtien offers in terms of
privacy and atmosphere is a fair trade off. As
for accommodation, Jomtien is not lacking
either. You will find everything from secluded,
luxury resorts to affordable hotels to
guesthouses that are just a hop and skip away
