For many, the dream of a life in Thailand is painted with vibrant colours: the electrifying energy of a bustling city, the world-class dining, the dazzling entertainment, and the endless buzz of beachfront activity. But what if your dream also includes coming home to a sanctuary of peace, where the sound of the waves replaces the hum of traffic and your view is of tropical greenery rather than city towers?
This is the perfect balance offered by the areas just South of Pattaya. It’s a lifestyle that masterfully blends the serenity of a Thai coastal retreat with the convenience of being just a short, scenic drive from all the amenities and attractions that make Pattaya famous. If you’re seeking a home that offers the quiet life without being isolated, let us show you why looking south is your best decision.
The Allure of the South: Peace, Space, and Value
The journey south of Pattaya reveals a dramatically different pace of life. The landscape opens up, offering more space, lush green hills, and breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Gulf of Thailand. Here, the air feels fresher, and the atmosphere is palpably more relaxed.
You could own a 6 bedroom Pool Villa South of Pattaya on 454 SQM of land for example
This region is perfect for retirees seeking a tranquil haven, families wanting a safe and spacious environment for their children to grow, or any professional who works remotely and values a peaceful home office setting. The properties here, from modern villas with private pools to secure condominium complexes, offer exceptional value for money, granting you more space and premium features for your investment compared to the dense city centre.
Unwind in Paradise: Local Attractions and Natural Beauty
Living south of Pattaya means your backyard is filled with some of the area’s most beautiful natural attractions.
- Jomtien Beach: Just a stone’s throw away, Jomtien Beach offers a much more relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere than Pattaya’s central beach. Its long, wide stretch of sand is perfect for morning walks, sunbathing, or enjoying a variety of water sports.
- Bang Saray: A little further south lies the charming fishing village of Bang Saray. This hidden gem is renowned for its excellent seafood restaurants right on the water, its peaceful pier, and its growing reputation as a dining destination. It’s the perfect spot for a serene evening out.
- Sanctuary of Truth: This awe-inspiring, all-wooden temple carved entirely by hand is a must-see cultural landmark and is conveniently located in the northern part of the southern district.
- Golf Courses: The area is a golfer’s paradise, home to several world-class championship courses such as Siam Country Club and Laem Chabang International Country Club, offering challenging play amidst stunning scenery.
Convenience at Your Doorstep: Amenities and Schools
A common misconception is that choosing serenity means sacrificing convenience. This couldn’t be further from the truth south of Pattaya. The area is well-serviced by modern amenities to ensure comfortable daily living.
- Shopping: You’ll find everything you need, from large-scale supermarkets like Makro and Big C Extra to smaller local markets offering fresh produce daily.
- Dining: A diverse range of dining options caters to all tastes, from authentic local Thai eateries to international restaurants serving Western and European cuisine.
- Healthcare: Quality healthcare is readily available with numerous clinics and pharmacies, and Pattaya’s major international hospitals are only a 15-20 minute drive away.
For families, the south of Pattaya is also an excellent choice due to its proximity to reputable international schools. Institutions such as the Regent’s International School Pattaya and Tara Pattana International School are within easy reach, providing high-quality education following British and international curricula.
The Best of Both Worlds: Connectivity
One of the greatest strengths of this location is its connectivity. Pattaya’s Central Festival shopping mall, Walking Street, and the electrifying central entertainment districts are typically just a 15 to 25-minute drive up the coast road. The U-Tapao International Airport is also easily accessible to the south, making international travel and receiving guests incredibly convenient. You have the freedom to dip into the excitement whenever you wish, knowing your peaceful retreat awaits your return.
