One of the most infamous streets in the world, Walking Street Pattaya is known for it’s bright neon lights, loud music, go-go bars, beer bars, discos, restaurants, and of course girls.
Walking Street closes down to traffic at 6pm and becomes the center of Pattaya Thailand’s nightlife. For the first time visitor the sights and sounds of 1000 meters of debauchery can be overwhelming. There are go-go bars and beer bars lining the street, with a bevy of beautiful Thai girls outside trying their best to get you to come in and have a drink or two.
In addition to the beer bars and gogo’s, there are a number of great restaurants, souvenir and t-shirt shops, and entertainers putting on street performances. There are girls and ladyboy’s packed into every bar and many freelancers working the street. The number of freelancer’s increases as the night gets later and bars around other parts of Pattaya shut down.
If you are looking to shoot a game of pool and not be hassled by the girls, there are a few bars that cater to this as well. Up for a little live music? You can check out the Blues Factory Pattaya. A live band plays blues and R&B music. If your fortune enough to go when Lam Morrison is playing, it is a must see. He is hands down the best and most well known guitar player in Thailand.
There are a number of well known discos and nightclubs that keep the party going until the wee hours of the morning. Lucifer’s, Marine, and Insomnia are three of the most popular. These Walking Street Discos usually have a small cover charge to get in, and the later it gets, the bigger the crowd.
In addition to the Main drag of Walking Street, there are also several smaller Soi’s that jut off the side. Here you will find many more bars, go-go’s, and restaurants. Soi Diamond being the most well known entertainment street.
Walking Street is the crown jewel of Pattaya nightlife. It is well known for its crazy and wild night time entertainment, and rightfully so.


Soi 6 is Pattaya’s daytime Walking Street. It’s been refered to as sexy, seedy, and sinful. All could be an accurate description. Soi 6 is Pattaya Thailand’s daytime center for crazy fun and debauchery, a walk down here is not for the meek and mild mannered.

There is way too much information and philosophy related to the Sanctuary for me to summarize it here, but I will try to provide a brief overview. The Sanctuary of Truth was conceived by a successful business man and billionaire name Khun Lek. It is a fine example of traditional Thai architecture, and elaborately inlaid with hand crafted wood sculptures. It has a blend of influences from the major religions found in Thailand, Buddhism, Hindu, Khmer, Chinese, and of course Thai.
The Sanctuary of Truth Pattaya is one of the great places to take photos on your trip. It overlooks the ocean from a rocky hilltop, and the vast amount of sculptures and architecture can keep you busy for hours if you let it. There is also a dolphin show in the lagoon a couple times a day. If you wish to see this arrive at the right time. There is also an elephant feeding area. You can buy some bananas for a small fee, and feed the baby elephants that are on site. I saw two at the time I was there. This is a great photo opportunity, and the elephants may get a little frisky, which can give you some funny photos. There are also ATV rides available, but if it is rainy season be prepared to get muddy.
