About Pattaya South

Including tips for the best time to visit Pattaya South

Pattaya South is a region in the Thailand city known for shopping streets, clubs and restaurants. Once a quaint fishing village, Pattaya today is a bustling hub of energy, lights and colour.

Pattaya South is a fine place for those who enjoy long walks. The Walking Street is lined with clubs and stores that sell souvenirs, clothes, bags and other such items. Outlet Mall Pattaya is one of the largest shopping complexes in Pattaya South, where you can indulge in a classic retail therapy. Go for a short visit to Pattaya viewpoint, a small spot perched atop a hill with stunning views of the city below. Visit shortly after sundown to see the city light up in hues of gold.

Pattaya South is synonymous with clubs and a pulsating nightlife. Stop by the clubs in this area to get a real feel of this Thai city. Mixx Discotheque is one of the biggest nightclubs where you can show off your dance moves to some hip hop or R&B music. The Pier is another choice if you wish to party hard with your group. 808 Nightclub is one of the best hangout spots for partygoers for a night of great music and dancing.

If you consider to come to Pattaya for a holiday - Pattaya...

June 6, 2025

If you consider to come to Pattaya for a holiday - Pattaya South is a good choice, away from the noisy and bustling Walking Street, with a good beach nearby and sunk into dosens if not hundreds of bars cafees shops markets, well, and massage parlors too.

March 4, 2025

South Pattaya was a great location for us but we did find it difficult in getting transportation to the hotel to be able to travel into town. Getting home was okay as there were plenty of transport options to get you home. It is an easy walk of about 20-25 minutes but not suitable for some due to steep hills and steps.

There is lots to do!

February 1, 2025

There is lots to do! No shortage of 7/11 stores, restaurants, markets, shopping, grocery stores, etc. Transportation is abundant, if you don't want to go out, food can easily be delivered quickly. Day or night there's always something to do. The beaches are nearby and pretty good. Get ready to be asked a million times if you want serves, like a manicure/pedicure , ice cream, jewelry, etc. All different nationalities from all over the world, which I loved! I eat at Taste of Norway and another restaurant near the market up the street from the condo. Both good, but the market one was cheaper. Fraser's Sports Bar a few time's for dinner. Nice atmosphere, good wait staff, good food and a friendly manager. Sanctuary of Truth Museum was very good. Go to "Walking Street" at night! It's mind blowing. Lots of YouTuber's about, so don't do anything you don't want on YouTube. We were on it a few times, just sitting or walking around. I would defiantly go back! I was there for a month.

Everything was very nice, have been many times, my previous visit was a very long time ago. I felt safe, enjoyed everything, explored a lot of places and would recommend to anyone wanting to have a vacation / holiday.

December 1, 2024

Great location 15 minute drive by mini bus to Pattaya central / walking street and approx the same to jomtein beach so location is very good access to both hot spots. Few massage shops in the area and lots of nice restaurants. Overall I would score the area 8/10. Taxi services and mini bus are great to get around

November 25, 2024

Seedy, people driving around in convertible cars making noise and showing off, just so dull. I didn’t visit the sex street but it was very apparent that sex tourism is a large part of the economy. The markets were not fun compared to the markets in the north of Thailand. The temples were pretty though and the view from them was lovely
