Jomtien or Pattaya - Did I See a Difference? (First Impression)

Join me on my journey to discover Jomtien, Pattaya's more relaxed counterpart to the bustling city! Are the rumors true? Is Jomtien really a more relaxed getaway compared to the vibrant energy of Pattaya?
In this video, I dive into my very first impressions of Jomtien Beach. I'll share my very early thoughts as I explore this renowned area for the first time.

Mate you’re a legend and 100% spot on 👌 I’m 36 from London and off to Bangkok and Pattaya for 3 weeks in November I’m quite successful being a business owner and a decent looking lad now single and I went at Christmas for the first time to Pattaya In 2023 for 2 weeks with 5k spending thinking I’d need all that and OH MY DAYS I watched 100’s of videos before coming, and all a load of crap because when you arrive their, it’s like visiting Blackpool at night but during the day you see the after math and all the sad cases with £20 to their name lost and drunk and mentally gone and nobody shows that side I must of been approached by I swear 20 people all from the UK 40+ with a hard luck story!! I couldn’t even sit at a bar and by myself and a lady a drink without 5 men shouting WON THE LOTTO HAVE WE I was sitting their thinking, this is meant to be a luxury holiday for me as I work 14 hour days running a business and I thought I’d let my hair down, it was anything but and it was like I’d flown on holiday to a poverty stricken UK job centre All old miserable bxxxxxxxrds, all lazy bxxxxxxrds and all of which run to Pattaya to find something or someone yet end up walking around hating, being unfriendly and it’s a shame It’s a very very strange place and hard to describe to people as videos don’t do it justice, don’t get me wrong you can meet some top people and lovely women as I did, but word of warning IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY HERE it’s a very lonely place as its poverty stricken really and these Thai women want money not love, so it’s a sad place really But yes overall visiting Bangkok in December was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done and I met an absolute stunner and we spent 2 weeks togther going to restaurants, clubs, etc and if I can advice anything to people it would be to stay in Bangkok near nana plaza and go on day trips via taxi to Pattaya as it’s 1.5 hours away and you can be back in Bangkok before 7pm getting ready to go out their Pattaya for a 35 year old now is like going to Blackpool, once you’ve done it all it takes its toll on you and apart from the women which you can find anywhere in Thailand, there’s nothing else to see or do their Probally the most normal vlog I’ve seen mate as most tell lies, hype it up, or fill people with all the negatives

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one buddy, great to read this comment. I had a great time in Pattaya but it's not my style, I live in the North where it's a bit more relaxed life. Nothing wrong with Patts though, but it would do my head in after a few weeks. Living in Thailand is a bit different then a holiday though buddy. People do live in Pattaya and Jomtien on a budget. Sounds like you had great time mate. I hope you have another great time in November and thanks for the comment. Appreciated buddy.

[@realfacthunt]

Been living in Thailand for 17 years, 6 on Samui, 3 in Chiang Mai and the rest in Pattaya. It's a great place to live as long as you live on the east side where all the expats are (The Darkside), great bars, restaurants, schools, parks, markets etc. We only go into town to shop or have a mooch about. Looking at Pattaya city and Jomtien is a waste for people looking to live here long term, those areas are for tourists and oil workers that come and go on tourist visas, they don't represent Pattaya as whole by a long shot. I much prefer living here to Samui or Chiang Mai, everything I want is within 10 or 15 minutes reach, it's set up for western expats. Plus the air is way cleaner than CM all year round and we don't have to deal with quite so many elephant pant wearing pseudo-hippies. BTW, prices are way cheaper on the East side of town over the railway, bars, food, everything.

[@camwells9726]

A lot of people talk garbage about the area that have spent very little or no time there , the heart of Pattaya is full of tourists in party mode much like Patong , but outside there are some nice spots that are very well priced . Jomtien is a nice mix for me on a long stay with a nice condo and a pool , and south of there is a whole coastline of beaches and islands that escape the mainstream tourists .

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes, true. That's the same as Chiang Mai. It takes time to see the real city. I hope to spend more time in Pattaya/ Jomtien in the future 👍

[@dw3514]

Thai people would say that a farang that lives in Chiang Mai is defo better than a farang that lives in Pattaya - Chiang Mai attracts long term, well behaved farang, Pattaya attracts 'cheap farang' (don't shoot the messenger, this is a quote from my Thai wife)

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

That's probably generally the Thai perception, but the beach and beach road at Jomtien are rather lovely, and the air quality is better. There's more of a holiday feel, whereas Chiang Mai has more of a steady living feel.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes, I think the average Thai person would say that .

Good video, Wayne. Any idea on what kind of budget would be necessary for a week in Pattaya? I'm looking to travel to Thailand later in the year and trying to figure out my budget. My plan would be Bangkok for 3 days, then travel north for a week and then to Pattaya for a week. I don't drink or smoke. I would like to have a fun time, but no idea what kind of budget would be good there. I hear different numbers, ranging from 5,000 baht per day to 10,000 to 15,000 baht per day if you want a crazy time.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers buddy! I'm probably not the best to ask about Pattaya budget mate. I've only been here a few days. The budgets here could range from all sorts. I'm sure a Pattaya regular will give some info on this comment. Cheers

[@peenokjaidee4923]

I've never spent anything close to 35,000 in a week - I'd be disappointed to spend 20,000. But if you're one for the girls, luxury accommodation, posh eateries and taxis, it will be expensive.

[@Patigoooool]

If you’re not drinking, 5000THB is plenty to see you through a day - even with action! Drinks for the girls in their bars and shots etc is where it gets silly. Just keep your head about you. But if you’re not drinking I don’t see how you dent 5k/day pal

Nice blog, like Jomtien also better than Pattaya. I wonder what is your preference between Hua Hin and Jomtien. Regarding the mongering. no judgement here, but the thing is that in Pattaya the main activity for older men is mongering while in Chiang Mai it can be a night out in the bars here and there, that is not quite mongering.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks! Yes, I wouldn't class myself as a full blown monger, but I do live in Chiang Mai and ofcourse I meet girls sometimes and date sometimes. Regarding Hua Hin, I would say Pattaya is much more of a monger paradise. Hua Hin is no slouch though, alot of bars and girls.

Believe me you wouldn`t want to be getting baht buses from Jomtien to Pattaya or vice versa after early morning. They are packed and sweaty and can take up to an hour in the Pattaya direction because of the road works. A motorbike taxi would be 80 baht but worth the extra imo.

I went to Soi 6 mate 👍

Na man, you not a monger/sexpat unless you only there for the boom boom .. I’m sure other aspects of 🇹🇭&CM come first 🤣

[@WalkAboutWayne]

True mate,I'm probably mongering slating myself a bit too much in this vlog 🤣. I'm no saint, but I don't think I'm on the mongering scale of full blown mongers 🤣.

[@SimosThailand]

@@WalkAboutWayne totally, when you start rating or only travelling to locations based upon the price of girls then we’ll know you slipped into mongerdom 🤣🤣

[@walternyc]

Correct, mongering is a full time thing. A night in the town here and there is not mongering.

Your very perceptive observant . I noticed the rude farangs wont move a few inches walking down narrow walkways. They put a negative greedy vibe . It always takes me a few days to adjust to pattaya . Avoidance is the key.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's been different but I've had a good time.

[@passportbroasia]

I always where socks and shoes cause if you don't you have to constantly scrub then rub lotion into your feet, plus you'll bang your toes and feet on the uneven sidewalk, you walk too much to be wearing flip flops mate, hope you get it sorted.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes mate, my feet get in a right mess sometimes. Flip Flops dry them right out. I've had so many split heels. I went for a foot scrub mate, they getting better now. Cheers.

@@wallywombat164 Nice one mate, the Aussie and English lingo is pretty similar I think. Wayne Poo 🤣 My Mum use to call me that. Syrup is cockney slang. I would always say syrup haha. That bloke on the bus has become bit of a celebrity 🤣

I shave my head but refuse to wear a hat as it keeps the heat in and I get way hotter. Just put on a ton of sunscreen so you won’t get a burn. Ditch the hat and you will be cooler.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

God, I would be burnt to a crisp mate, even with Factor 50. Hats do heat you up though, I agree.

[@n.eilo_rides]

Try walking around Phuket without some Russian clowns wanting all the path and nit getting out of the way. Chiang Mai is much nicer, back for a third trip this year

Yes, nobody seems to move over 🤣. Can't go wrong with Chiang Mai mate. I'm missing it already.

What's cracking syrup(wig) the lad had on the baht bus. Yes, you see a lot of miserable old gits in Pattaya. I can take my kids to go to the beach in Jomtien. I would not take them to Pattaya beach. A tip with the baht bus is walk past where they are all lined up. Then flag one down further up on the road so you don't have to sit and wait.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one buddy ! Yes, the guy with the syrup was a right Bobby Dazzler. Wish I done a interview with him 🤣
