Attraction Details :
The half-moon-shaped
Pattaya Beach is 4 kilometers long with a road running parallel to the
beach. From the mid-section to the southern end of the area, there is a
vast array of restaurants, bars, department stores, souvenir stores as
well as other places of entertainment. There are various mini-resorts
and hotels in a quieter atmosphere on the northern part of the beach.It's actually free to stroll along the beaches, but operators will charge you for the services they provide, i.e. the beach chair. A price is roughly $1 per chair, though bargaining is rather customary in Thailand.
