Pattaya ~ THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SURVIVE IN THAILAND

WALKING STREET

The Walking Street Pattaya experience is one of its kind. Though the walking street road closed by 7 pm till 3 am for vehicles, the actual night life starts after 10:00 pm to experience the flavor of Thai nightlife. By midnight, walking street is more vibrant and electrifying. Loud musics and rock performances in streets and its by lanes. The amazing thing about Pattaya Walking Street is that there's so much to see and do, and it's so tightly packed that you might spend a whole week there every night and you'd still find new places every evening besides from having the mother of all hangovers.

Walking Street has clusters of different kinds of venues as you move down it. From the end of the Beach Lane, you'll find more restaurants first, then go-go bars and beer bars, then nightclubs and live music bars. The popular Walking Street Pattaya Tree (there's only one), around which you'll find mostly ladyboy bars and clubs, is at about halfway point.

You may exhaust walking around Pattaya Walking Street, occasionally popping inside some go go bars, casinos, Russian, Indian, European bars. Almost all bars and casinos are pick up joints of girls, ladyboys and gays. Ladyboys are the real artistic performers of dance and acrobatics. They outsmart the girls and boys in every respect.
