Pattaya hotels where to stay
Hotels in Thailand, and in Pattayain particular, they do not officially have a "star rating" (about the "star rating" system and power systems see here). The stardom that you see in the catalogs of tour operators or booking systems is assigned by the tour operator, the author of the booking system or the owner of the hotel. But, this should not bother you, because in most cases this rating is assigned correctly, and when choosing a hotel, in any case, you should be guided not only by the "star rating", but also by the reviews of hotel customers, the location, and the services provided.
You can find and book accommodation in Pattaya on these sites or through the search form. All sites have a Russian interface and Russian-language customer support, a lot of reviews from real guests.

A feature of hotels in Thailand (and hotels in Pattaya are no exception) is that accommodation, as a rule, includes only breakfast, and all-inclusive meals (All inclusive) not It is common, and not every hotel will be able to offer you such a service. But, this is not necessary at all. Read "where and what to eat in Pattaya?" and all doubts will disappear from you. If you are still in doubt, you can simply order dinner at the selected hotel for an additional fee.
As for the location of the hotel, before deciding on the choice, read the preliminary information about the areas of Pattaya below. Choosing the right vacation spot will determine how pleasant your vacation will be. After all, if you want to have a good time, visit shopping malls and entertainment venues, just walk along noisy elegant streets and you don't care about the beach, then it's the right place for you to choose a hotel in the center, and the closer to Walking Street, all the better. If you want a relaxing family vacation and a clean beach, then the loud noise from the bars under the hotel windows will not have a favorable effect on your vacation, so you'd better choose a hotel in Jomtien or North Pattaya.
In any case, it is better to choose a hotel near the coastline. Even in central Pattaya, despite the fact that the beaches there are not clean, it is better to choose a hotel no further than Second Street or not too far from it: all entertainment is concentrated along Second Street and Beach Road and everything is within walking distance.
Prices for hotels in Pattaya start from 600 baht (currency of Thailand) for a double room with air conditioning and breakfast. A double room with air conditioning and shower in a guesthouse not too far from the beach can be found for 400 baht. Prices for a room without air conditioning (with a fan) and meals generally start at 200 baht, but sleeping in such a room in the Thai heat is just torture.
Book a hotel in advance or choose already on the spot – it's up to you. Booking in advance will save you some money, because prices in booking systems are often lower even than the official prices of hotels on their websites. In addition, the most popular hotels in Pattaya are usually booked 4-5 months in advance, as you can see for yourself by making several searches for different periods. But this is true only for medium and expensive hotels. You probably won't find a backpacker hotel for 400 rubles in booking systems, but you can easily find it on the streets of Pattaya.
And one more addition. If you want to bring a local resident or a resident to the hotel for the night (tastes, as they say, do not argue), then in many hotels you will have to pay a small amount for the overnight stay of a guest.
Areas and beaches of Pattaya, where to choose a hotel
Conventionally, the city is divided into three parts: Pattaya proper (Pattaya Center); Naklua (Nalkua Beach) - in the north; Jomtien (Jomtien Beach) - in the south. Both Naklua and Jomtien could well be considered as suburbs, but there is practically no border between them and the center of Pattaya, and they are conditionally separated. Naklua includes the entire area north of North Pattaya Street (Nua Road), and Jomtien stretches South of Buddha Hill. Below we give a description of the main areas of Pattaya, the beaches belonging to them, and indicate the position on the map:
Naklua (Naklua Beach, also Naklua)
Find Pattaya hotels on Naklua Beach
Everything that lies to the north (higher on the map) The Northern road (North Pattaya road or Nua road) is called Naklua Beach (location of Naklua beach on the map of Pattaya). This is an extensive, fairly calm, quiet area, in which mainly hotels, houses of local residents and relatively calm quiet bars are located. Naklua Beach is quite clean compared to Central Pattaya and Beach Road, but there are almost no amenities (sun loungers, cafes) and entertainment. This is a great place to relax with family and children.
Vongamat Beach (Wongamat Beach) is also located in Naklua district. In the very north of the city, after Naklua, there is a beach Bang La Mung (Bang La Mung) with luxury hotels and a secluded beach.
The central part can be reached from here on foot or by minibus for 20 baht. Hotels here are of different stars, but expensive multi-star hotels prevail. There are also quite a lot of new modern condominiums, apartments in which are rented to tourists.
Jomtien beach
Find Pattaya hotels on Jomtien Beach
South of Budda Hill is Jomtien Beach (Jomtien beach on the map of Pattaya). Jomtien has cleaner beaches than the center, and the further south, the cleaner. Hotels are mainly located near the beach and are designed for a relaxing family holiday. Entertainment in the area is also present, but they are more decent and family-friendly.
If you prefer beach holidays, rather than going to bars, restaurants and shopping malls, more secluded hotels with their own territory and a clean beach, then you are definitely here, and preferably further south. You can get out for entertainment in the center by taxi or by minibus for 20 baht.
The more southern part of Jomtien stands out - On Jomtien (Na Jomtien), and the beach in the north of Jomtien, almost at the very Hill of Buddha, is called the beach Dong Tarn (Dong Tarn Beach). Even further, about 14 kilometers south of Jomtien, there is a secluded Sattahip beach with comfortable hotels and the cleanest beach.
Pattaya Center
Find Pattaya hotels in the center
Everything that lies between the North Road (North Road or Nua Road) and the Buddha Hill (Budda Hill) is an entertainment center. This is the perfect place for those who want to have fun, have fun and have fun again. If you have come to Pattaya-the city of sins, then you are definitely here. Most of the largest shopping centers, shops, GO-GO bars, nightclubs, adult shows, restaurants are concentrated here. There are many hotels, from very inexpensive rooms without air conditioning to luxury apartments. Here you can find accommodation for every taste.
The main part of hotels, shopping centers and entertainment is located between Beach Road (Beach Street) and Second Road (Second Street), as well as on the other side along Second Road. This is the most convenient place to stay if you want to be in the center of events. You can stay away from the beach - between Second Road and Third Road (Third road). The prices here are slightly lower, but every time you have to get to the places of entertainment on foot or by bus.
The beach in the center is very crowded and far from clean, although it would be wrong to call it the worst. The beach is sandy all over, sun beds and umbrellas are rented everywhere, drinks and food are sold, there are a lot of merchants. A very busy road runs along the entire beach (Beach Road street), a pedestrian alley decorated with sculptures and plants, many shopping centers, hotels, bars are located. There is also a pier in the Central part, from which you can go by ship to nearby islands.
In principle, wherever you settle here, you will always be within walking distance to all the entertainment. But still, there are several districts in this part:
-
Pattaya Beach Road (Pattaya Beach Road)
An alley along the beach on Beach Road Beach Road runs along the entire central part of Pattaya along the beach (Beach Road on the map of Pattaya). There are many hotels, shopping malls, restaurants and bars along the street. Across the street from the hotels there is also an alley running along the entire area, and just behind it is the beach. As already mentioned, the beach in this part is far from ideal: a typical urban beach with sun loungers, vendors and garbage.
In the evenings, a lot of "moths" of all kinds of sexes come out to the alley :-), locals and tourists walk. Just don't build the wrong associations right away: the name of the road comes from the word Beach - beach, not Bitch. With all the "beach" disadvantages of this area, this is one of the best places to stay, and the closer you get to Walking Street, the noisier and more fun it will be. Hotels here are mostly of medium and high class (still the first line from the beach), budget accommodation (below 1000 baht) is quite difficult to find. Hotel prices equated to 4 and 5-star hotels will pleasantly surprise you, but you should book the best and most profitable hotels 4 months or more in advance.

Central Pattaya
The beach in central Pattaya Find Pattaya hotels in the center
This can be said to be the center in the center of Pattaya. Probably, this is the most popular and most successful place for accommodation. The district runs between Second Street (Second Road or Pattaya Sai Song) and Third Street (Third road or Pattaya Sai 3) (Central Pattaya on the map) and is bounded by South Street (South Pattaya or Pattaya Tai) and Central Street (Central Pattaya - Klang), on second line from the beach. In addition to hotels, there are a large number of shops, shopping centers, shops and markets.
Just like on Beach Road, you will be within walking distance of all the entertainment and the beach, but for less money. There are a huge number of hotels here, and there are many cheaper options and even purely budget ones. "The "Bekpekersky district" with the cheapest hotels is located here. It is safe to say that Central Pattaya is the most budget-friendly area for accommodation.
-
North Pattaya
North Pattaya Beach The area in the northern part of the center of Pattaya from the Central Street (Central Pattaya - Klang) to the North Road (North road or Nua road), in principle, is not much different from Central Pattaya, the beaches here are just as crowded and not too clean. Perhaps the only difference is a slightly smaller concentration of noisy bars, restaurants, discos. Walking street can be reached from here in 20 minutes, or you can take a shuttle bus along Beach road (in the opposite direction along Second Street) for 10 baht. In general, if you don't have a place in hotels Central Pattaya, you can safely stay here. North Pattaya on the map.
-
South Pattaya
This is a great area for accommodation if entertainment is more important to you than a beach holiday. The Walking Street night entertainment center is right here. What's good: during the day, this area is quite calm and quiet, only with the arrival of darkness, nightlife and vicious entertainment flourish on the streets. Most discos and adult shows are located here. But there are no beaches here, i.e. there are practically none. The entire coastline in this area is blocked by restaurants and entertainment venues along Walking Street, there is also a pier and a boat parking lot. But the more or less clean beach of central Pattaya is within walking distance from here. South Pattaya on the map.
-
Bekpekersky district
Finding a hotel on the spot is usually not difficult. A cluster of budget hotels is located in the area along Soi Bua Khao Lane. This alley is located in central Pattaya between Second Street (Second Road or Pattaya Sai Song) and Third Street (Third road or Pattaya Sai 3) (see location of Pattaya's backpacker zone on the map). If you arrived in Pattaya without a pre-booked hotel and intend to rent something cheaper, you have a direct way here. Walking distance to the waterfront from here is no more than five minutes, and to the entertainment center – no more than ten minutes.
The cheapest rooms are located in buildings above bars and other establishments, but at night it can be quite noisy here.
Phra Tamnak Hill (Phra Tam Nak hill)
Find Pattaya hotels in Phra Tamnak Hill
This area is located between the central area of Pattaya and Jomtien Beach (Phra Tamnak Hill district on the map). Somehow it is difficult to characterize it in a special way. Unless it can be said that the area is quite quiet, calm and somewhat more well-groomed than other areas.
Koh Lan Island
A small Koh Lan Island (Ko Lan, also Koh Larn, also coral island) is located 10 kilometers from the coast of Pattaya (Koh Lan on the map of Thailand). This is the most popular island for day trips or trips to clean island beaches near Pattaya. The island is very tiny, only 4 and a half kilometers in length.
Koh Lan is rarely considered by tourists as an independent resort, but rather as an addition to Pattaya beaches or one of its attractions. Most often, tourists visit Koh Lan in the form of day trips or independent trips to its beaches, which are considered much cleaner than the city's Pattaya beaches. Less often, guests stay overnight on the island for one or two days or longer.
Meanwhile, Koh Lan is a completely independent resort with its own infrastructure, beaches, hotels and attractions. Learn more about Koh Lan Island here.
