As the name suggests, Central Pattaya is the heart of the city and home to most of the action in the city of sin. It is a long stretch that runs parallel to the beach from Walking Street all the way to North Pattaya. One of the main streets in central Pattaya is Second Road, which runs parallel to the beach. Along this road, you can find many bars and clubs, massage parlors and go-go bars, as well as many Central Pattaya Joiner friendly hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and other entertainment venues. You can also hop on a baht bus and explore other parts of the city easily. Second Road is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action, but also have some comfort and convenience.
A lot of the naughty action happens in the alleys, sois and streets that connect Beach Road to Second Road
Soi Buakhao
Another popular street in central Pattaya is Soi Buakhao, which is a bit more laid-back and budget-friendly than Second Road. Soi Buakhao has many guesthouses, bars, cafes, and markets, where you can mingle with locals and expats. You can also find some of the best street food in Pattaya here, (not to mention good English breakfasts) as well as some hidden gems like the Tree Town market and the Soi Buakhao night market. Soi Buakhao is a great place to stay if you want to experience the real Pattaya, and save some money.
LK Metro & Soi 6
If you’re looking for some more excitement, you might want to check out LK Metro and Soi 6, which are two of the most famous nightlife areas in Pattaya. LK Metro is a short L-shaped street that is only about 200 meters long, but it is packed with go-go bars, beer bars, and nightclubs. You can find some of the hottest girls and ladyboys in Pattaya here, as well as some of the best music and drinks. LK Metro is a great place to stay if you want to party hard and have a wild time.
Soi 6 is another short street that is known for its naughty nightlife. Here you can find hundreds of short-time bars, where you can have a drink and a quickie with a girl of your choice. The girls here are friendly and eager to please, and the prices are reasonable. Soi 6 is a great place to stay if you want to have some fun and adventure, and don’t mind being a bit naughty.
Central Pattaya is a great place to stay if you want to be in the middle of the action- not just the night life- but daytime attractions like the shopping malls etc are also in this area.
