North of Terminal 21 and North Pattaya Road, the city becomes Naklua, with Wong Amat beach further up the coast and the Sanctuary of Truth on the waterfront.
We list six hotels of our own here, all Researched Picks, and on average they have the best location scores of any Pattaya area. Of those with a January price: Swiss Paradise Boutique Villa, a small three-star in Naklua, is around ฿1,815 a night and is the highest-rated hotel we list in the city, Citismart Luxury Apartments on Beach Road Soi 1 around ฿2,872, Grande Centre Point Space around ฿7,168, and Woodlands Suites around ฿7,320. COSI Wong Amat is around ฿1,033 and Cape Dara, a beachfront five-star, around ฿4,927, both for 15 to 18 November 2026 (held for a spot check).
Wifi is the inconsistent number. Woodlands Suites scores 9.5, and Swiss Paradise, the highest-rated of the lot, scores 6.7, the lowest in our Pattaya set. If you are here to work, the area will not tell you anything useful. The property will.
