It all depends on where you are. Some parts are very quiet, some are noisy, but nowhere I know of in Jomtien has noise every night that goes on most of the night as it does in many parts of Pattaya. Of course one of the big disadvantages of Thailand is that noise can suddenly appear where there was none at all previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It could turn out to be a waste of time but if everyone who is being bothered by loud noise at night would call the Pattaya complaint hotline the new administration might take some notice. Might be worth a try--they seem to be doing a few positive things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have to agree with the vote for Jomtien if you really must live in that part of the country, just check out the surrounding vicinity carefully for noisy 24 hour bars of any place you like. I had some sound advice from a friend recently (that I intended to do anyway): "rent it first." I am a bit surprised you don't know the facts as you have been on TV for over 4 years? Best of luck.

He's on a lower floor and said it isn't too bad for him it doesn't affect his quality of living there. However the higher up condo's get it worse.

champers Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thank you to everyone for their replies. I have had some very helpful feedback. I am leaning more to staying where I am in Naklua. I am close enough to the main road and the beach but far enough away for it to be quiet. Jomtien is now more easy to visit - just one baht bus and I always have the option of changing my mind if needs must. Thanks again. Champers.

I think that's a very wise decision, you live currently in a quiet place and one baht ride away from Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There are cons and pros living everywhere, I would choose either Jomtien from soi 10 and up or Naklua . Naklua is closer to central Pattaya and if you want to stay close to the action you're only a few minutes away . In Jomtien it can be a hassle to get to central Pattaya , especially at night with all the traffic. I think next time I would relocate to Naklua .

optad Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Naklua is a good interim decision whilst assessing. It gives all the the options a run and allows great freedom to move around without the commitment of Pattaya or Jomtien. It has always been my base for the ease of movement and access over 15 years. That said the whole traffic issue in Pattaya is beyond sustainability, insufferable as i get older. This topic was an interesting comparative but I think I need the next which offers less life stress than either naklua or JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevozman1 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Pattaya. Better in just about everyway with the exceptions of Jomtien having a slightly nicer beach and having the district's immigration office on your doorstep. You will also find Jomtien a pain in thevass without your own wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "mini-TOPS" is located on Thappraya Road between View Talay 2 and the "Hanuman" statue, on the same side of the street as VT2. For a period of time it was a FamilyMart, but before and after that it was Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ply Thappraya and Jomtien Beach Road. You're out of luck if you're in the Cosy Beach area or the Pratamnak area--or other areas not served. We used to live at View Talay 3 and it was a long trek uphill to catch a baht bus on the main route. Pity they don't expand the routes to swing down Pratamnak Soi 6 and then back up one of the other sois, maybe 4 or 5, back to the main road. Same with the Cosy Beach area--make a swing thru and then back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Pratumak Hill that the baht buses discriminate, not Jomtien. As far as I know, throngs of Russians will fill up the baht buses at Wat Chai Mongkol at Pattaya South/Pratumak Road intersection. I know because I often I end up standing on the rear extended platform of the baht buses together with 3 burly Russians. That route from Pattaya to Jomtien is a money-spinning machine for baht buses, so Jomtien is definitely well-served by baht buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I tried Jomtien before I moved to Pattaya. I thought it was terrible and boring comparing. But I like the opportunity for numerous bars, girls, Starbucks, malls, the movies, restaurants, Big C, etc. all which Pattaya offers in much greater abundance. I don't want to constantly take those crowded baht buses and drive over the hill to enjoy myself. One other thing and sorry but there seems to be a greater number of "off" people in Jomtien. Don't know why it seemed that way. Just odd people who looked semi-insane or borderline retarded. Especially in those lower numbered Soi's.

If they are already building airport terminals and shopping malls, it's a matter of time before the value of your property would shoot up through the roof. Imagine you own a house next to Terminal 21 or Central Festival. Your neighbours are Hilton and Holiday Inn. Fret not, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou62 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I agree that Pattaya has a massive choice of places to eat and drink. Good shopping malls and the like (I also use the cinemas there). It isn't a place I'd want to live however, so I live in Jomtien but I'm thankfull Pattaya is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
