Pattaya nightlife, done right

For a grown-up Pattaya night out, nothing beats a sundowner with the whole bay below you. These are the city's best rooftop bars for sunset cocktails and a tasteful evening.

A stylish beach club on the Na Jomtien coast — daybeds, a beachfront pool and DJ sets that turn a lazy beach day into a sunset party.

A long-running brewhouse-and-live-music bar on Beach Road — house beers, hearty food and a nightly band, making for an easy, grown-up night out.

The sky-high bar on top of the Hilton — 34 floors up with a 270° sweep of Pattaya Bay, easily the best sunset-cocktail view in the city centre.

A magical clifftop bar-restaurant on Pratumnak with terraces tumbling toward the sea — one of the most beautiful sunset spots in all of Pattaya.
