Pattaya accommodation prices

Compared to other countries' coastal cities and resorts, Pattaya accommodation prices are relatively cheap, which is also due to the low local prices. On average, you can stay in a four-star hotel or above for around NT$2,000-3,000 per night, and it is not a dream to enjoy an infinity pool, gym, and buffet breakfast. Of course, if you want to lower your budget or increase your budget to stay in a better hotel, there are many good Pattaya accommodation options around NT$1,000 or NT$5,000 or NT$6,000.

How to choose accommodation & hotel in Pattaya?



Spread out the Pattaya map. First of all, everyone should know that the most lively and convenient places in Pattaya are Pattaya Beach and the connected Pattaya Walking Street, which is the location of the red light district. Therefore, there are many homestays and hotels nearby, and there may be sea view rooms near the beach. When choosing a place to stay in Pattaya, in addition to the price, the area and transportation can also be considered.

Recommended Pattaya Accommodation Area

1. Pattaya City Center

Pattaya City Center is actually the location of the red light district - Pattaya Walking Street. It is conceivable that this will be the most lively and convenient accommodation area. Shopping centers, Pattaya Night Market, bars and nightclubs, massage parlors, etc. are all here. If you want to go to Pattaya Beach, it will not be too far. Although it is very convenient to live here, the disadvantage is that it is noisy, especially when staying in a room facing the street.

2. Pattaya Beach Area

Since you have come to Pattaya, you will be sorry if you don’t enjoy the unparalleled sea view! Compared with the city center, most Tourists will choose areas close to the beach. Although the transportation may be inconvenient, they can enjoy the comfort of vacation.

3. Jomtien Beach Area

If you don’t like noisy places, like quiet and sparsely populated places, but want to have a view, then the area around Jomtien Beach will be your best place to stay in Pattaya. There are many special accommodation options here, and some even have private beaches!

4. Other suburban accommodation areas

Of course, there are more accommodations in Pattaya than the above. If you don't care about transportation and want to deeply experience the customs and folkways of the locals, there are also B&Bs worth trying in other places.

What to do about transportation in Pattaya?

There is no transportation in Pattaya. Everyone relies on rickshaws, taxis, Grab, chartered cars or self-driving. If you care about transportation, then please be sure to choose a hotel in the city center or one that provides pick-up and drop-off services.
