Pattaya

Pattaya Klang,or Central Pattaya, is a little funkier than the Northern district. The hotels are not so grand, the restaurants smaller, and here you will find the beginning of Pattaya's bar-beers, or open-air bars. There are plenty of tailor shops, and some go-go bars. Pattaya police station, and the Immigration Office are here.Two main shopping malls, the Royal Garden Plaza and Mike's Place, are both in Central Pattaya. In addition to the action along Beach Road, many of the sois are very lively: soi Post Office, and Soi Pattayaland 1, 2 and 3 in particular. There is a Tourist Police office on Beach Road near the junction with South Pattaya's Walking Street. The sois will all take you through to Second Road, where there are more bars and restaurants, and a couple of drive shops. There are many small hotels and guesthouses here, offering good value accommodation and no-frills Western and Thai dining. Show Shopping Plaza,Shop Building,Office Accommodation in Central Pattaya Nakula means "salt fields", after the main occupation of the area before the area before the rise of tourism and industry. There is still the air of an ancient village to Nakula today,for here you will see old wooden houses and narrow streets, traditional noodle shops and working fishing boats. The old houses over the creek are especially picturesque,and a walk through the streets will reveal plenty of little shops selling handicrefts and domestic goods. The Dolphin Roundabout and the Beginning of Beach Road mark the junction with North Pattaya,and the surroundings change dramatically. This is the classy end of the resort,with upmarket hotels and restaurants facing out over the beach. Here too you can begin a pleasant walk along the bayfront,for a recently built promenade will take you along the shore under the palm trees right up to South Pattaya. Any of the sois will lead you through to the back part of Pattaya,known as Second Road. There are more major hotels here,along with shopping areas,bars,clubs,and a Tourist Police office. Show Shopping Plaza,Shop Building,Office Accommodation in North Pattaya South Pattaya Road cerves sharply off from Beach Road,taking the reaffic away from this busy district which is now known as Walking Street. A relatively recent development,this pedestrians only zone is a welcome relief, allowing visitors to browse amongst the endless little shops offering fast tailoring services,sports goods,jevellery and souvenirs. Here too the bars are almost endless,as are the big seafood restaurants,several of them built out over the ocean and offering pleasant surroundings to enjoy your meal.South Pattaya tends to be older,brasher and busier than the remainder of the city. You can walk uninterrupted all the way through to the Siam Bayshore Hotel and Arthachinda Road,which effectively marks the boundary of South Pattaya.Take any of the sois,no matter how tiny they may seem,to make your way through to Pratamnak Road,the back part of Pattaya which links up the Second Road. Show Shopping Plaza,Shop Building,Office Accommodation in South Pattaya As is so often the case in Thailand, you will see serveral different spellings of "Jomtien". This district,with its 6 Km beach, is divided off from the rest of Pattaya by the hill which rises to the black of South Pattaya. Drive over the hill, past the big Buddha and the Royal Cliff Hotel, and down into the relatively quiet Jomtien. The beach is popular with windsurfers and watersports enthusiasts, largely because the area enjoys brisk and fresh beezes sweeping inland from the Thai Gulf, and because the seas are less congested with boats than in Pattaya Bay. This is also the place to relax for a suntan, or go for long early morning or sunset walks along the ocean fornt. There is little in the way of shopping or beer-bars at Jomtien, which is essentially a residential area with beachside hotels, bungalow complexes, condominiums and restaurants. Jomtien has its own very distinctive gay beach,accessed by turning right at the bottom of the hill; for all other arrractions, turn left.
