About
Stretching from Pattaya Beach Road to Bali Hai Plaza, Walking Street is the epicenter of Pattaya’s notorious red-light district, with pubs, nightclubs, and go-go bars galore. Experience the electric atmosphere, catch a free Muay Thai match, and enjoy the live bands and cabarets. When the sensory overload gets too much, take a breather at Pattaya Pier—an iconic landmark in the city. Food-wise, there are a plethora of stalls, casual eateries, and restaurants that stay open to accommodate late-night revelers. Stay safe, and if you feel uncomfortable, look for tourist police stationed in the area. – Tripadvisor

    A crazy place
    Its a crazy place, we were there early in the evening but there was so much going on. Music and loud sounds everywhere. Pretty girls trying to persuade you to go into their bars. Guys looking for girls and lots of tourists. There were kick boxers, street performers, bars, reasonably priced food chaos but great fun. A woman kept trying to persuade us to go the the Ping Pong Bar. Eventually we went but it was horrible and I dont recommend it. I can't go into details here. Apart from that we had a great time and I recommend Walking Street for tourists and of course for men looking for female company.

    Mixed experience
    If only girls are going, go in a big group to enjoy the full experience. Be aware if you go into one of the sex clubs be prepared for you to enjoy the show less and but have your hand in your pocket as money will be extracted fromYou. One if the waiters had broken a glass and she went to the gentle man and said you have to pay for the glass. Walking street in general had a good vibe we went on a thursday night. Ended in one club which was good. Seems like pattaya is full of Indians and Russians.

    Disappointed
    Actually disappointed. Maybe our expectations were too high. Imagined the street to be even longer than what it was. Full of legal drug shops which gave it a bad vibe. A lot of the girls on the street were not at all very pretty to look at, and had many wierdos come up to us wanting to take us down back streets to watch live sex shows. We did end up scoring a great meal on the beachfront though. Wouldn't visit here again. Better party streets in the world.

    The overall consumption is not high, of course there are ways to make money. The power of words can no longer accurately express the openness, passion, etc. of this street. The 40-kilometer-long Beach has bright sunshine, blue sky, clear water, sand as white as silver, coconut palms and thatched pavilions, and small villas nestled among green leaves and red tiles. It has a unique oriental tropical scenery, which is refreshing and refreshing. It is a good seaside swimming spot.

I was there for New Year's Eve
Jan 2020
Walking Street can be overwhelming for some people. The lights the people club and bar promoters. Sensory overload is an understatement having said that I have to admit that I enjoyed every minute of it. LOL!!! Make sure that you keep your wallet in a safe place I heard a few tourists say that they were pick-pocketed while visiting Walking Street. I tried some of the street food after a night of clubbing there it was delicious and very inexpensive. Here's a tip go the street food vendor's that have a long line of local people waiting to be served.

Walking, Talking, Gawking, Hawking Street

This is one of the fascinating places you must visit whilst in Pattaya, even if you just people watch. It mostly comprises of gogo bars and there are a few great streets such as Soi Diamond and Soi 15 branching off it. I first visited Walking Street in 1988 and I still continue to visit. Street performers from dancers to magicians, intrigue curious tourists with a variety of talents. The neon jungle is ablaze with gogo bars, nightclubs, shops and restaurants. It's Little Las Vegas right here in Pattaya, Thailand.

Waste of time and no sacks show
Jul 2022
Even as a couple, you will be accosted by aggressive touts every step of you way along this seedy street, and shown the same laminated card of simulated sacks. All touts lead to the same club that we ended up going. Show was a farce. The audience was a mix of couples like us and groups of single men. Our "free drinks" were brought to us with demands to pay a service fee. The 'sacks show' did not include any sacks. A few disinterested girls performed party tricks with balloons, ping pong balls and razor blades. During the show staff continued to harassed all clients for tips by going around with a bucket. We waited but nothing much happened. After a period of bored girls jiggling around poles the show started all over again. It's all waste of money and time.

Walking Giant / Du Toit’s Kloof Lodge with Paula
Mar 2020 • Friends
Another great and very special hike under Paula’s fantastic leadership. It took us total 6 hours, ending with 45 minutes River walk before getting back to the resort parking. If in good speedybshape, the Hike can be completed in 4 hours.
Highly recommended, Paula is very experienced, very knowledgeable, funny and very caring for the group.

The vibe has changed
Jan 2023 • Solo
If you came here 15 ,10 or even 5 years ago you are not for a disappointment ,newbies won’t know the difference ,however for the ones that came here years ago Covid definitely gave a massive hit in odd ways to talking street .

The vibe just ain’t the same as it used to be ,freelancers walking around was basically none ,the nightlife is in full swing no doubt ,more nightclubs more lights more shows etc however the vibe overall you feel that it ain’t the same as it used to be ,probably could see more tourists than girls which was rather odd .

Didn’t felt the same didn’t enjoyed like I used to ,there was no loud welcome there wa no hand pushing from the girls to walk in pubs and bars and shows there was no walking street as it used to be for me and when you talk with businesses that were there before ( talked with a couple of restaurant owners ) it was most definitely covid

Yes you will see reviews here saying that it’s a loud crazy street etc and it is … if you just landed in Pattaya for the first time ,for the oldies … that ain’t só and you will see what I mean ..

Truly hoping that it gets back one day the beautiful vibe that walking street once has and dare I say Pattaya as a whole …

For the time being I probably would give it a miss for the next few years until it gets hopefully back the lost beautiful vibe that it once had

Walking street is not for everyone. It is a great area if you are looking for cheap, fun entertainment, especially if you are traveling solo or with close friends. Pretty much anything goes. There are a few great dance clubs that go into the wee hours. Food choices are limited, though a few of the restaurants offer good food.

Great Night Walk Experience at Pattaya
Mar 2019
If you want to go to Walking Street or south of Pattaya or Bali Hai pier for connecting to Koh Larn, then go to the minivan stand in Mochit Bus Station and buy your ticket – no advance booking needed. Pattaya’s famous Walking Street, right in the middle of the nightlife and entertainment. If you do not like to stay around party life at night, this place ain’t for you; also if you do not like loud music all night.
