🌴 Why Are Pattaya’s Southern Beaches Becoming the City’s New Lifestyle Destination?

Just beyond Jomtien lie Na Jomtien, Baan Ampur, and Bang Saray — three coastal zones rising fast as Pattaya’s next wave of desirable living. They offer quieter shores, beachfront dining, better infrastructure, and excellent connectivity to Bangkok, two airports, world-class golf, hospitals, and entertaining amenities.

Quieter Shores, Wide Beaches & Frontline Dining

If you walk the beaches south of Jomtien, you'll feel the difference immediately: wider sands, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed pace. In Na Jomtien, Baan Ampur, and Bang Saray, you’ll find genuine beachfront restaurants, where the sea, sky, and your meal are all just steps away. For those wanting a coast-front lifestyle without the bustle of Pattaya’s center, this is one of the region’s best-kept secrets.

Na Jomtien — The Perfect In-between

Na Jomtien sits at the transition point. It offers:

• A bridge between city life and quieter shores — easy return to Pattaya when needed.

• Many new mid- and high-rise condo projects with direct sea views and amenities.

• Excellent future retail prospects — the proposed Icon Siam Shopping Mall aims to bring upscale shopping and entertainment closer to this coastline.

• Connection to the Bangkok motorway exit, making travel to Bangkok and to Suvarnabhumi Airport faster than ever.

Baan Ampur — Quiet Elegance, Family Focus

Just a short drive south, Baan Ampur is developing a reputation for laid-back elegance:

• Spacious beachfront strips and calmer seas.

• Close to Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Southeast Asia’s premier marina, making it ideal for those interested in boating, yachts, or a maritime lifestyle.

• A selection of luxury houses, villas, and boutique condo developments, many with larger land plots or garden spaces.

Bang Saray — Village Charm with High Potential

Once a small fishing village, Bang Saray now combines coastal charm with growth opportunity:

• It retains low-rise character and authentic local flavor, even as new projects arrive.

• Affordable beachfront properties (relative to central Pattaya) make it attractive for long-term owners.

• Just 15–20 minutes from U-Tapao International Airport, making it especially convenient for regional air travel.

• A good base for exploring the quieter southern beaches, yet still within reach of Pattaya’s amenities.

Infrastructure, Connectivity & Access

These southern areas are no longer off the beaten track — improvements have made them integrated and accessible:

• Sukhumvit Road upgrades and new flyovers now reduce traffic chokepoints and link the coast more directly to Pattaya and beyond.

• The Bangkok–Pattaya motorway exit nearby shortens the drive to the capital and to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

• U-Tapao Airport is just 15–20 minutes away, offering domestic and international options.

• These changes mean southern beaches are now truly in the orbit of Bangkok, not isolated.

Lifestyle Offerings & Attractions

Living here means being close to top-tier amenities:

• Healthcare: The Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital (Sattahip) is a leading medical facility serving this region.

• Golf: Over 10 premier golf courses are nearby, especially Chee Chan International and Phoenix Gold — for more on golf in Pattaya, see our [Golf in Pattaya 2025 Guide].

• Beaches & Nature: Just beyond Bang Saray lies Sai Kaew Beach (Sattahip), one of the region’s most beautiful coastal parks.

• Waterparks & Family Attractions: Big draws include Ramayana Waterpark and Columbia Pictures Aquaverse, making this area family-friendly all year.

• Retirement & Lifestyle: These serene beaches align well with what retirees often seek — which is why in our article “Why Retire in Pattaya?” we highlight quieter zones like Bang Saray as great alternatives to central Pattaya. See more in our Retirement in Pattaya article.

Investment Outlook — The Next Coastal Corridor

As central Pattaya becomes denser and land becomes scarce, attention is shifting south. The southern beaches offer:

• Lower cost per square meter for condos, villas, and land compared to central zones.

• Strong upside potential as infrastructure and retail development arrives (Icon Siam, mall projects, upgraded roads).

• Demand from people seeking less congestion but full lifestyle infrastructure.

• Good rental potential — both long-term and seasonal — thanks to golf, beaches, and connectivity.
