What it is like
North of the city, Wongamat is the quiet, expensive stretch of coast, and Naklua behind it is an old fishing town that never turned into a resort. This is where the beachfront towers with private beach gates and infinity pools are. It feels a world away from Walking Street while being fifteen minutes from it. Rents reflect that.
Who lives here: Higher budgets, families, people who want the beach without the crowds.
Rents: One bedrooms from around 17,000, rising steeply. Two bedrooms 40,000 to 135,000.

Renting in Wongamat and Naklua
Is it worth the extra rent?
If the beach matters to you, yes. This is the quietest good sand in Pattaya and several buildings have private access to it.
How far is it from central Pattaya?
Around fifteen minutes by road, though traffic through Naklua can slow that.
What is the difference between Wongamat and Naklua?
Wongamat is the beachfront strip with the tall towers. Naklua is the older town behind it, cheaper and more local, with better food.
