Jomtien Beach, The 6-km. long, largely straight beach, located around the headland
from Pattaya, is popular with windsurfers and water sports
enthusiasts. It is also quieter and more relaxing than Pattaya
Beach. Hotels and other accommodation facilities are available
along the road that runs parallel to the shore.
Getting There
By Car -
Pattaya is about a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Bangkok,
taking the Bang Na-Trat Highway or the new, faster Bangkok-
Chon Buri Expressway.
By Train -
Few visitors to Pattaya are aware that the city does have a railway
station. The train leaves from Bangkok Railway
Station (Hua Lamphong) at 7.00 a.m. and takes about 5 hours
to Pattaya.
