“Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Pattaya in 2025 and I’m a bit confused about which area would be the best to stay as a tourist. I’ll be traveling with my family, but I also want to explore the nightlife, beaches, and shopping.
Some friends suggested Walking Street, while others say North Pattaya or Jomtien Beach might be better. Can anyone share their experiences about which neighborhoods are most convenient for tourists in terms of safety, hotels, restaurants, and easy access to attractions?
Basically, I’m trying to decide: should I stay closer to the nightlife area, or would a quieter beachside location like Jomtien be a better choice? Any recommendations for the best areas to stay in Pattaya for first-time visitors would be super helpful. Thanks!”
