Nightlife in Pattaya: bars, clubs, cabarets and a unique atmosphere
Pattaya is known all over the world for its sulphurous nightlife… But it is not just about that. From beach bars and rooftops to electro clubs, world-class cabarets and bustling alleyways, the city offers a nightlife experience unlike any other in Thailand. Here’s our unfiltered guide to going out in Pattaya.
🔵 Walking Street – The epicentre of the party
This is the mythical street of Pattaya : neon lights everywhere, loud music, and dozens of bars, clubs, go-go bars, restaurants and cabarets next to each other. People come here to live the Pattaya experience 100% – whether it’s to dance, have a drink or just watch the show.
🔵 Soi Buakhao – More local and varied atmosphere
More popular, more authentic, less “bling-bling”. Beer bars, pubs, late opening restaurants, night markets… Ideal if you want to get out without the intensity of Walking Street.
🔵 Beach Road – Bars with sea view
Perfect to start the evening with a cocktail facing the sea. The atmosphere is calmer, but not without charm.
