Third Road

ถนนพัทยาสาม

Further inland again. More local, cheaper rents, less tourist concentration.

Last updated: May 16, 2026

Overview

Third Road runs parallel to Second Road, one further block inland through Central Pattaya. It has a more local feel, with Thai households, smaller condos, mid-budget hotels, garages, and small businesses. Walking distance to Walking Street and the beach but noticeably quieter and cheaper than Beach/Second. Two-way traffic.

Best for

budget long-stay expats
returning tourists
those wanting calmer Central

Avoid if

you want beach immediately
you prioritise upscale buildings
