Short answer: For a long, more relaxed beach than central Pattaya stay on Jomtien Beach (rooms for every budget and seafront restaurants); for a shady, strollable stretch pick Dongtan Beach at the north end; for quiet and newer resorts choose Na Jomtien to the south; and for budget, stay in the lanes behind the beach road, a short walk to the sand.
