Bang Lamung

Bang Lamung is effectively the Pattaya metropolitan area — Thailand's second-largest beach resort after Phuket. The district spans from Wong Amat Beach in the north through central Pattaya, down to Jomtien and Na Jomtien in the south. It's home to an estimated 100,000+ expats and retirees, making it one of the most international communities in Southeast Asia. Central Pattaya — Dense, busy, entertainment-focused. Walking Street nightlife, Central Festival mall, Beach Road. Budget to mid-range condos. Not for quiet seekers. Jomtien — South of Pattaya Hill. More relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Better beach, longer promenade, more residential character. Popular with long-stay expats. Na Jomtien — The new development frontier. Premium projects like Aeras, Riviera, and Copacabana line the coast. Modern, less crowded, with improving infrastructure. Wong Amat / Naklua — North end. Quieter, more upscale. The Sanctuary of Truth landmark. Some of Pattaya's most established luxury condos. Pratumnak Hill — Between Pattaya and Jomtien. Elevated location with sea views. Mid-to-high-end condos. Quieter than central Pattaya. Studios from 1–2 million THB. Sea-view 1-beds: 3–6 million THB. Na Jomtien premium: 4–12 million THB. Wong Amat luxury: 8–25 million THB.
