Checked against Google on 9 September 2026
Jomtien is the beach where people stay a month, and its nights run to that pace: the same bar, the same stool, the sea across the road. Every bar Google lists there, ranked in an order you can check, and the honest note from fifteen minutes north about when Jomtien's night is over and Pattaya's has just started.
What it is
Jomtien runs south of Pattaya along its own beach. The bars sit on the beach road and up the sois behind it, each with a set of regulars who live within walking distance and have opinions about Pattaya, most of them unprintable. Sports bars with the match on, restaurant-bars on the sand, a brewery, and beach clubs that close when the light goes.
The night here ends earlier than Pattaya's and is better for it, if a quiet night is the night. If it is not, the baht bus north along Thepprasit Road and up Second Road takes fifteen minutes and drops you at the Soi 13 turning, three minutes from a cold hall with a band in it. A lot of Jomtien's regulars do exactly that on a Saturday. We know, because we pour for them.

Really good, consistent western food style place on the beach. I have only tried breakfasts but they are always tasty and a good value.

Fifteen minutes north
A baht bus up Second Road, off at the Soi 13 turning, three minutes down Soi Diana to the Las Vegas sign. Inside: one cold hall, ten bars, MHz Band Thailand on the stage from 9 PM to 1 AM, Tuesday to Sunday, and the tables along the stage edge that are ours. The counter is open until three, which is about when the last Jomtien regular asks for the bill and a taxi south.
Jomtien is the second town, twenty minutes south of Central Pattaya over the headland, with its own long beach, its own beach road, and its own regulars, who chose it on purpose. What they chose is a slower night: a beach road with bars along it rather than a strip, a crowd that is older and more settled, condominiums rather than hotels, a Scandinavian and German presence that Central Pattaya does not have, and the sea at the end of every soi. The bars on this list are ranked by Google, and the ones at the top are the ones with a kitchen and a view, which tells you what the town is for.
Wombat and Kiwi is the Australian and New Zealand room with the rugby on and a menu, and it is where a lot of Jomtien's evenings start. Hemingways' Jomtien branch is the sister of the one in Pattaya and does the same job with a sea breeze. Sea You is a beach bar on the sand with the sunset. ZAMA is the rooftop, on the top of a tower, with the whole of Jomtien beach below it at dusk. Bryghuset is the Danish bar, and the Danes fill it. RomPho Complex is the beer bar complex of the town, smaller and quieter than Tree Town and open to the sky.
What Jomtien gives up is a band. There are singers in bars and a house band at one or two of the bigger rooms, but the town does not have a stage a whole hall faces, and the people who live there and want one come over the hill for it. There is a baht bus from Jomtien beach road to Central Pattaya every few minutes until late, up over the headland and down Second Road, and it stops on Second Road at the Soi 13 turning, which is three minutes on foot from the Las Vegas sign.
The way Jomtien regulars do a night with a band in it: sunset from a beach bar on the sand or the roof of ZAMA, dinner at a room with a kitchen along the beach road, a baht bus over the hill at about nine, and the second set of the band at a stage-side table in the hall at ten. The bus back runs until well after the band stops. It is twenty minutes each way and it is the only journey of the night.
The way Central Pattaya regulars do Jomtien: a baht bus over the hill in the afternoon for the beach, which is longer, cleaner and quieter than Pattaya's; a sunset from Sea You; and back over the hill for the band. Jomtien in the afternoon and Pattaya at night is the order, because Jomtien's night is a dinner and Pattaya's is a band, and the dinner comes first.
The list above ranks the town's bars by Google's rating weighted by review count, the rule stated so you can argue with it, and each entry has its distance from our door, which for Jomtien is between three and six kilometres and always a bus. We are the last bar on the right in a hall on Soi Diana, and this page is on the site because the people at our counter on a Friday include a table of Danes who came over the hill.
Asked
The list is what Google returned for a bar search for Jomtien on 9 September 2026. Ratings, review counts, categories and hours are Google's. The description of Jomtien's regulars is affectionate and earned. We are fifteen minutes north and have said so.
How to find us
One way in, one way out. Nine bars stand between the gate and us, and each will invite you in. Keep walking.
The big Las Vegas Beer Garden sign, two minutes from LK Metro. Free entry, no ticket, no dress code.
Past Pocket Kings, Palace, the V Bar, Full House, Viva, Aces High, MGN and Black Jack. The music gets louder with every step.
A black disc ringed with bulbs, a gold crown over the K. That's the door. The toilets are just past it, which is why everyone walks by at least once.
KQ has its own pin on Google Maps, separate from the complex. Tap it and the blue dot ends at our bar, not the front gate.
