FAQ
Where is Pattaya?

This popular beach resort is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Siam, just 150 km southeast of Bangkok, reachable in a two-hour drive. To get there, you can use Highway 7 and Route 3.

What residential complexes and communities are there in Pattaya?

Traditionally, the city is divided into the central, southern, northern and eastern parts.

The central location is most suitable for those seeking an active lifestyle and those who prefer to spend their time in a lively environment. This area has also gained popularity among expatriates choosing the area for its proximity to work. Due to the high demand for short-term rentals (including in the low season), residential complexes in Pattaya are worth considering as an investment.

The southern part of the resort can be roughly divided into the coastal area (near South Pattaya Road), the eastern zone (near Thepprasit Road and the territory bordering Pratumnak (Tapphraya Road). The coastal area features Walking Street with numerous entertainment venues and bars in Pattaya, as well as the main tourist gateway from the sea – Bali Hai Pier. If you are looking for residential real estate in Pattaya for rental purposes, it is worth considering the options available here.

Pratumnak Hill is often referred to as the Thai Beverly Hills. Some of the most expensive villas in Thailand are located here, with the price per square metre in a new condominium only slightly behind that of the elite north.

Looking at the coast from the air, you can notice that high-rise buildings are concentrated in the northern part of the city – the Naklua area. Its architecture somewhat resembles Miami. The investment attractiveness of the north is not as high as in other areas due to the relatively expensive real estate and less profitable rental rates. Therefore, many buyers of apartments in Thailand purchase property here for themselves and enjoy resort comfort at a very reasonable price.

Jomtien is a community where the first residential complexes of a new level began to be built. These projects offer true resort living with luxurious amenities. The first European-style club villages appeared here several years ago when the plots were not as expensive and now, you can buy a house with a garden, suitable for both personal use and rental.

For many foreigners, the eastern part of the resort seems unexplored and wild. Nevertheless, this is where you will find the largest number of club villages with villas, cottages and modern condo complexes. Additionally, the eastern part may be of interest to golf enthusiasts. Long-term rental is to be expected here, ranging from six months.

Venturing into the centre, you will see that the resort becomes like a typical urban area in the Thai province.

Pattayasaisong 12 is an alley where there are several budget guesthouses if you are looking for an inexpensive room. The budget hotel here is The Siam Guest House. If you came to the resort for nightlife, consider the P.72 hotel—one of the few establishments on Walking Street.
