Luxury hotels and villas are typically located on the beachfront outskirts of town; the city center is dominated by mid- to low-end hotels, conveniently situated along the two main streets and various alleyways.

The northern part of the street is called North Pattaya, and the southern part is called South Pattaya. North Pattaya has many large, upscale resort hotels and is relatively quiet; while mid-range hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops are mainly concentrated in South Pattaya, which is more chaotic but lively. You can decide which area to stay in based on your preferences and travel purpose.

Heading south along Pattaya's main street and over the hills, you'll arrive at Jomtien Beach. Developed later than Pattaya, this beach is much larger and features numerous large resorts, offering a very peaceful atmosphere. It's an ideal place to unwind and relax.
