Walking Street Area Walking Tour
If Pattaya has a heart then Walking Street
is it. For many people this area is Pattaya. You will see all
sorts of people in this area at night from mum and dad with the
two kids to those who go for the night life and ladies. They
all come for one reason and that is the sex trade that
thrives along Walking Street. For the family
visitor it is to look at it from the outside and for the
single guy the reasons are obvious. If you are the latter
then you may at times feel like you are a zoo exhibit.
The main entertainment area on Walking
Street extends for about 500m. On it you will find many gogo
bars, open-air bars, pubs and discos. Some bars have live music
while some are like those in the Soi 7 and 8 area. Prices are
generally a bit higher here to compensate for higher rents.
Off Walking Street there are many sois to
explore. Some of Pattaya best gogo bars and night life are
located on these sois. This walking tour also explores these
sois.

Walking Street during the day is a lot
different than at night. During the day traffic is allowed.
Most bars are either closed or have few customers. It is more
like a normal road in the daytime. This series is taken during
the day-time as photography is a lot easier and details are not
lost in the shadows. I will add some night-time photos in the
near future as you will not get a real understanding of what
the Walking Street area is about in the day-time photos.
If you do get to Pattaya and head straight
to Walking Street before trying some of the other areas don't
get stuck in Walking street. some people do this and it is a
shame. Wall king Street is a good area for night life but it is
not the whole of Pattaya. Make the effort to explore the other
areas that the city has to offer. You may find that you prefer
these areas. Walking Street is great but it has its
disadvantages.
This walking tour of Walking Street starts
at the northern end of Walking Street where it meets Beach
Road. It then follows Walking Street to the end of it. It then
proceeds onto the pier for some photos of the waterfront before
heading back to Walking Street to explore the sois off it.
This walking tour is split into five pages.
The first page covers the first part of Walking Street and
Walking Street is competed on the second page. The third page
covers Soi 16 and Marive Plaza. The forth page continues down
Soi Lucky Star before continuing to Sois BJ and Happy
before entering Soi Diamond. The last page competes Soi Diamond
before coniuing to Sois 14 and 15.
The map below shows the route of the
tour.
