Thread: Jomtien Beach - Next to Pattaya Beach

2 or 3 kms South of Pattaya and only a 10baht taxi journey away it is well worth the 10baht to get away from Pattaya Beach.

Jomtien Beach is 7km long and is actually quite nice and clean, the Northern end of the beach is for the gays, ie you hit the beach and then turn right, this is a pedestarian area so you have to walk, there is parking right next to the Dong Tan Police Sub Station, if you goto the beach within about a kilometer of this area you will be hounded by touts selling ice creams to sun glasses, if you go about 1 or 2kms South you will be left alone for the most part,hopefully.

They have jet skies, banana boats, windsurf boards, catamarans and parasailing here at this beach for rent, also you can rent a speed boat to take you to Koh Larn Island for the day, but this is better done from Pattaya.

Jomtien has every sort of accommodation you could think of, from 200baht per night fan rooms down the small sois to 3 star hotels at around the 600baht per night and up, restaurants galore, quite a few bars and champions agogo bar where quite a few of the gals cant afford to buy any clothes, the gals aint so nice but the prices,aircon and big projector screens make it worthwhile for a beer or 2.
