Find Your Way Around Pattaya & Jomtien

Get Around in Pattaya: Means of Transport In Pattaya & Jomtien

On maps of Pattaya, you will usually find a north-south orientation, with Naklua and Banglamung in the North, and Jomtien Beach in its own bay, south of the "Big Buddha" (Pratamnak) hill.
To find your way around Pattaya, is very simple, even as a first-time visitor. Pattaya's main hotel, residential and entertainment areas are embedded between the coastline of Pattaya and Jomtien in the West and Sukhumvit Road (highway to Bangkok) in the East. The areas east of Sukhumvit Road are also known as the "dark side".
Three main roads ("sai") cut through Pattaya's city centre in north-south direction ...
Pattaya Beach Road (including Walking Street),
Pattaya 2nd Road/ Sai Song ("song"= two, second), and
Pattaya 3rd Road/ Sai Saam ("saam"= three, third).
Pattaya 2nd Road changes its name to Pattaya-Naklua Road at the Dolphin Roundabout in North Pattaya, and Pratamnak Road in the South. Pratamnak Road also merges into Thappraya Road, both which roads are the main connections between South Pattaya and Jomtien Beach.
Three main roads ("sai") cut through Pattaya's city centre in east-west direction, all the way from Pattaya Beach Road to Sukhumvit Road ...
North Pattaya Road/ Pattaya Nua,
Central Pattaya Road/ Pattaya Klang, and
South Pattaya Road/ Pattaya Tai.
These main arterial roads are linked by either numbered side-streets ("Soi" in Thai), or such that have been given names of relevant buildings or hotels. Other Soi's are known both by names and numbers. The main road connecting Pattaya and Jomtien bay is called Thappraya Road.

To find your way around Jomtien is extremely easy. At the moment, there's only one main North-
South connection: Jomtien Beach Road, including several side-streets ("Soi"), some of which are cul-de-sacs.
These Soi's are either numbered (e.g. Soi 5, 7), or have been given names of relevant buildings or hotels (e.g. Soi Whitehouse or Soi Welcome Jomtien Beach). Some are known both by numbers and names (Jomtien Soi 5 = Soi Post Office).
Jomtien Beach Road has only two main connections with Sukhumvit highway: Soi Wat Boon and Soi Chaiyapruek.
When branching off the beachfront at Dongtan Police Station in Jomtien's North, Jomtien Beach Road changes its name to Thappraya Road (taxi route to Pattaya) that goes all the way to South Pattaya and merges into Pattaya Second Road. About one kilometre up Pratamnak hill, there's a junction with Thepprasit Road - the main link between Jomtien and Sukhumvit Road.
The new Jomtien Second Road, which will link Thappraya Road (junction at the Hanuman Statue) with the southern poarts of Jomtien one day, is currently still under construction.

Pattaya maps are easy to pick up e.g. in your hotel lobby, restaurants, travel agencies etc. They are usually distributed free or can be found in tourist magazines.
