What is Jomtien and is it true that it is the best area for a quiet holiday in Pattaya?

Jomtien is a southern suburb of Pattaya, which has long become its full-fledged part. The main difference from the center is that here reigns a measured beach life, not the eternal noise of bars and shopping malls. If you are looking for a place where you can swim, sunbathe, walk along the promenade and enjoy the sea without crowds of tourists, Jomtien is an ideal choice.

The area stretches along the coast for several kilometers and is famous for its wide sandy beach. At the same time, Jomtien cannot be called boring: it has its own bars, night markets, excellent restaurants and a cozy atmosphere. You can get to the center of Pattaya by songthaew for 15 baht (about 15-20 minutes), so if you wish, you can easily get to the nightlife of Walking Street.

Jomtien is often chosen by families with children and travelers who want a quiet holiday, but not in complete isolation. This is a compromise between a beach resort and urban infrastructure.
