What it’s like

The north end of the bay is where Pattaya slows down. Naklua is an old Thai fishing town grown into a district of resorts and condos, and Wong Amat is its beach, long and calm. The night here is a sunset drink on the sand, dinner, and a band for those who want one.

For a band and a late night, Phettrakul Road has two Thai clubs: Hollywood Pattaya, with a full live band with dancers, DJs and an MC from 21:00, and GOD PATTAYA, with live bands, DJs and concerts by Thai bands and singers, doors at 20:00 by its opening post (their own pages: Hollywood’s checked 7 October 2026, GOD PATTAYA’s 2 October 2026).
