Guide to the bars and nightlife of Pattaya
Posted on 16. Aug, 2010 by admin in Pattaya
The seaside resort town of Pattaya is renowned for its bustling and naughty nightlife scene and boasts numerous attractions for all tastes and budgets. In Pattaya visitors will find an extensive selection of Thai and international restaurants, street stalls serving cheap food, lively beer bars and go-go venues.
Thai traditional massage is a more laid-back opportunity, but shopping centres stay open until 23:00 as well as some night bazaars. Several pubs offer live music and several large discos open at 22:00 and not close until late. Obviously, there is always Pattaya bay’s beach for a relaxing evening stroll, which is enjoyable and safe.
Pattaya nightlife begins early and many tourists dine between 20:00 and 22:00 because the resort town’s fast evening pace doesn’t really start until about 22:00. Most restaurants open their doors much earlier with several ones around South Pattaya and Walking Street staying open until the crack of dawn.
International Walking Street is the nightlife entertainment scene’s booming centre. Everyone who stays in Pattaya for a few days will most likely experience the scene here, and due to Beach Road’s traffic congestion it is often faster to cover the last 100-metre distance on foot. Walking Street, positioned at Beach Road’s southern end is a neon-clad area crammed with restaurants and bars. Many seafood restaurants are being constructed on stilts over the ocean.
Almost every night you can see demonstrations of Thai boxing at several venues, and these events are liberally advertised by posters and flyers. Street life is an essential part of Thai culture and you will be surprised by the many food stalls in the surrounding narrow alleys. Market traders and souvenir sellers set up their businesses wherever it is possible, along with some performers and street artists.
In addition, numerous go go venues spill out onto Beach road’s lanes, largely contributing to the vibrant ambience and enjoyable people watching. Whether it is a substantial seafood meal you wish, or just want to observe the people that pass by while sitting back in a bar overlooking the moving crowds, or get a cold beer in a small pub, you’re likely to see an international crowd in a safe and welcoming environment.
Pattaya features many other zones which are just as vibrant after sunset. Both Sois 7 and 8 house numerous beer bars and live entertainment venues. Located on South Pattaya Road, Hollywood disco is extremely popular as this establishment is within close proximity of Walking Street.
For lady-boy performances, Alcazar and Tiffany offer various glamorous shows during the evenings and are especially favoured with far-Eastern holidaymakers. Gay people will feel most comfortable when visiting Pattayaland, but in this area are also many girly bars and decent Western-style restaurants. Pattayaland is just a stone’s throw away from Walking Street.
On Beach road’s southern end there’s a mall, which houses a Ripley’s Believe it or Not attraction, along with an entertainment centre featuring a movie theatre and roller-coaster simulator.
The many go go girl bars, entertainment venues and restaurants in Jomtien and North Pattaya mean that many visitors lodging in these places don’t need to come into the downtown area, as similar amenities are available locally. However, Walking Street’s bustle will tempt most tourists for at least one night stepping out.
Areas where you’ll find ladies for the night in Pattaya include; the lanes between Second road and Beach road – missing them is not possible, along the renowned Walking street, several lanes in the Jomtien area, body massage parlours and a few karaoke clubs further out nearby Sukhumwit road and in the larger discos.
The first step for finding a Pattaya bar girl easily is to stroll along the numerous beer bars of the lanes off Beach road. This area has a festive ambience; the young girls probably accost you with ‘welcome inside’, but mostly they’re harmless. Further away from this ‘party hub’ you can visit less ‘in your face’ girly bar zones where you can take a seat and enjoy a beer while observing the ladies, without any pressure to buy lady drinks. The ladies vary from very sexy and very young to the more experienced ones in the less hectic bars.
Pattaya’s go go venues are the spots where the sexiest ladies are found, which are more also more discreet. Here you’ll find beautiful girls dressed in bikinis, occasionally topless or sometimes even naked performing their dancing on stage and these girls as well can be taken back to your hotel room, but the costs for the services they provide are much higher. The ambience here is more professional and these ladies are ‘in it solely for the money’.
Another level of girls work for private escort companies, which can be requested directly to your room through the internet – these escort ladies are real professionals but are usually over-priced. This is a great option for those needing to be discreet.
