Pattaya Klang: Guide to Central Pattaya's Main East-West Road
พัทยากลาง
Pattaya Klang ('Klang' means 'central') is the main east-west road through Central Pattaya, running from Beach Road to Sukhumvit. Big C, Tesco Lotus, the banks and Pattaya City Hall are all here, which makes Pattaya Klang a practical, affordable base for long-stay residents rather than a tourist strip.
