Immigration Office makes the region important. Two famous shopping
malls, the Royal Garden Plaza and Mike's Place, are also in Central
Pattaya. A tourist police office is also located here. Second Road has
many bars and restaurants, and a couple of dive shops. North Pattaya
In North Pattaya, one can have a pleasant stroll along the bayfront. The region has still an air of old days and one can see wooden houses and narrow streets. An amble through the streets will reveal plenty of little shops selling handicrafts and domestic goods.
Jomtein Beach
Jomtein Beach is divided from the rest of Pattaya by the hill which rises to the back of South Pattaya. The beach is popular for windsurfing and other water sports, largely because the area enjoys brisk and fresh breezes sweeping inland from the Thai Gulf. There are several beachside hotels, bungalow complexes, condominiums and restaurants.
