Overview
Second Road runs parallel to Beach Road, one block inland, through Central Pattaya. It contains many mid-range hotels, restaurants, shopping (Central Festival, Royal Garden), and is one of the city's main one-way arteries (baht buses go south on Second Road, north on Beach Road). A practical middle ground between the noisy seafront and quieter inland streets.
