Pattaya

A beach resort city on the eastern gulf coast, two hours from Bangkok, with a large long-term expat community and infrastructure built for it. Rent runs cheaper than on Phuket, and food and transport stay at typical Thai prices. Visa extensions and the 90-day address report are filed at the local immigration office. The Walking Street area stays loud at night — Jomtien and Pratumnak are quieter for daily life.
