South Pattaya
About South Pattaya
South Pattaya is the southern end of the city centre, around Walking Street and the foot of Pratumnak Hill. It is the nightlife heart of Pattaya with older apartment blocks and hotels, and the baht bus links it to the rest of the city. It is a poor fit for people who want quiet.
Getting around: Baht buses run Beach Road and Second Road and Grab or Bolt is common. Walking Street itself is pedestrianised in the evening.
