Pattaya Shows, Hotels and Attractions

Jomtien Beach is always a favorite of mine to visit...
Actually, I lived there for almost 2 years once upon a time.

This was my son's 8th birthday after we spent it earlier in the day at the Pattaya Dolphinarium (see other post) and then decided we wanted to go for a beach walk and sunset.

The kids loved the warm close by shallow waters on the sand and played well for an hour or so during sunset.

This did well to help them sleep later that evening after dinner.

I highly recommend this approach to the kids when wanting to give them an activity with great vibes and energy at this hour of the evening... 🙂🙂🙂

The Beaches of Pattaya, Chonburi

Situated just 150 kilometers from Thailand's bustling capital, Bangkok, Pattaya emerges as a sought-after destination for those seeking a blend of coastal beauty and urban amenities. While its beaches may not boast the same fame as Maya Bay, they offer a unique charm and a plethora of activities, surpassing some of the southern counterparts. Here's a guide to the beaches worth exploring during your journey through Pattaya.

Pattaya Beach:
Embark on your coastal adventure at Pattaya Beach, the city's most popular and vibrant shoreline. Stretching four kilometers in a crescent shape, this beach provides ample space for visitors seeking refuge under the radiant sun. Beyond sunbathing, indulge in thrilling activities such as parasailing, jet skiing, and the classic banana boat rides. Beachside shacks offer the convenience of preparing your favorite Thai dishes, and as night falls, Pattaya Beach transforms into a hub for lively parties.

Jomtien Beach, Chonburi, Thailand:
A mere two kilometers from Pattaya Beach lies the tranquil Jomtien Beach. Lined with palm trees, this beach caters to a quieter crowd, offering a more subdued atmosphere. While bars and restaurants are nearby, it is a haven for windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts. For those seeking relaxation, golden sands and tropical waters await, providing a serene backdrop to watch the world go by.

Naklua Beach:
Naklua Beach offers a glimpse of 'real' Thailand within a city often characterized by a different ambiance. Shared with local fishermen going about their trade, the beach exudes a rustic charm with sandy shores. Though lacking in extensive watersports, Naklua is an ideal spot for a refreshing swim amidst more traditional scenery.

Wong Amat Beach:
In close proximity to Naklua Beach, Wong Amat Beach shares a similar laid-back vibe. Despite its nearness to Pattaya Beach, it remains quieter and more secluded, promising a potentially cleaner environment. Optimal for those seeking respite from bustling parties and noisy water activities, Wong Amat Beach is a tranquil escape in Pattaya.

Koh Larn:
Known as Coral Island, Koh Larn bears closer resemblance to renowned southern Thailand beaches than its Pattaya counterparts. Tucked away like a slice of paradise, it offers a romantic getaway. Explore the vibrant coral through snorkeling or a glass-bottom boat, while the crystal-clear waters enhance visibility, creating an idyllic setting.

Dongtan Beach:
Spanning 1.5 kilometers, Dongtan Beach beckons visitors with its serene ambiance and ample space for relaxation and sunbathing. Quieter in the mornings, the beach comes alive with watersports later in the day. Notably LGBTQ+-friendly, it provides a designated section for members of the community. Numerous massage places along the shoreline offer opportunities for relaxation and pampering.

Bang Saray Beach:
Nestled near a charming Thai town, Bang Saray Beach exudes a local vibe with fishing piers and a lack of the livelier aspects found on other Pattaya beaches. Ideal for divers, the area often attracts whale sharks, and the sunken remnants of a cargo ship from WWII lie beneath the waves, inviting exploration by diving enthusiasts.
