As the closest beach resort town to Bangkok, Pattaya has one of Thailand’s liveliest gay scenes, as well as some of its most notorious nightlife. Most of the gay bars and clubs are concentrated in two areas of central Pattaya near the beach, BoyzTown and Sunee Plaza. However, there is a third gay hub in the area: Dongtan beach in Jomtien, a little bit south of Pattaya.
The city has for a long time been infamous for its seedy sex industry. This bad reputation is dissipating as the sex trade becomes regulated and a more relaxed, family-friendly vibe settles in through the area. That said, central Pattaya is still a loud, hedonistic party town, and there is still very much a seedy underbelly to it all.
This is why many visitors prefer to stay in Jomtien. This gives them easy access to the fun gay beach life (and after all, that’s what you’re looking for when you head to the Thai coast) while also having the option to hop on a taxi and go out in Pattaya.
However, the party scene in Pattaya is undoubtedly fun, and many people just want to stay at the heart of it all. Ultimately, it’s down to what you like: stay in Pattaya if you enjoy a more hardcore party vibe, or head to Jomtien if spending the day on a gay beach is more your thing.
Pattaya is a very popular gay destination, so there is no such thing as non-gay-friendly accommodation. Every hotel in the area will be used to receiving gay guests, and it is unheard of for gay travelers to have issues.
There are a few hotels and resorts which are particularly popular with gay visitors, especially ones close to Dongan Beach such as Rabbit Resort, Zing Resort and Spa, and Welcome World Beach Resort and Spa. There are also a few gay-only and gay-owned hotels in the area, such as Baan Souy Resort, COPA Gay Hotel, and Poseidon Boutique Hotel.

This hidden gem sits on a peaceful hill in south Pattaya overlooking the ocean, wrapped in lush trees and a beautiful cascading architectural view that makes it feel like a true getaway resort. The rooms are clean, great, and feature huge, highly comfortable beds. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet is delicious with massive variety. The property features three distinct pools with completely different vibes, though the rugged coastal edge means you trade a swimmable sand beach for beautiful rocky views.
I felt completely safe and at ease at this premium resort. The private, secluded nature of the property and its scenic hills make it an exceptional sanctuary where you can fully unwind and relax in complete peace.
