Visitor Reviews
Walking Street (Pattaya) is the most famous nightlife street in Pattaya. Every night the road is closed for vehicles and becomes a pedestrian street full of: • Neon lights • Bars, live music pubs • Seafood restaurants • Street shows & entertainment • Crowds of tourists It is the busiest place in Pattaya after 7:00 PM and becomes fully active from 9:00 PM to midnight. Best time to visit: After 8:30 PM Location: South Pattaya (near Bali Hai Pier)
From clubbing to great seafood and even the spicy side of life... You'll find anything you want to get into on this street! I recommend this as an adult area as it's not suitable for children. If you walk away disappointed it's definitely because you did something wrong!
I visited Pattaya to see big Buddha. while returning, cab driver dropped on the way, we walk down stairs to see "Pattaya city" signboard near sea shore. after clicking some pics, we walked to nearby restaurants for food. it was near to Walking street, while returning we crossed the road. It has club, restaurants, bar and ....( for adults). If you do not want unpleasant situation, try to avoid the street or any talk with locals here.

Dress Modestly
Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
