What to expect

Most bands in Pattaya play covers: classic rock, pop and Thai hits, often taking requests, and the sets run late.

Four different nights: Beach Road for a polished house band at Hard Rock Cafe, or two rock bands a night at Lisa on the Beach; Soi Buakhao for hard rock and metal at Rock Factory, and Tree Town for casual stages; Walking Street for a rock band every night at Hot Tuna, Thai bands at The Stones House and a band in the front room of Lucifer; and the Thai clubs inland for Thai bands.
