Best Pattaya Areas for Cheap Hotels [2026 Guide]
The cheapest Pattaya areas for budget hotels. From 500-800 THB per night in central locations to 600-1,000 THB further out.
Quick answer
Pattaya has a strong budget hotel scene if you don't insist on Beach Road. Side streets one block inland (Second Road, Third Road, Soi Buakhao) offer functional rooms from 500-800 THB. Booking 2-3 weeks ahead in high season (Dec-Feb) gets noticeably better prices.
