Pattaya monorail: three lines, public hearings run until November

Pattaya City Hall is advancing a monorail project with three lines. On 13 August 2026 Mayor Poramet Ngampichet held a meeting to review the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report.

Three lines

• Green - the main route through the city: Pattaya station, Dolphin Roundabout, Terminal 21 Pattaya, Central Festival Pattaya, the night market and Bali Hai pier.
• Purple - links the city with the Nong Prue area and Pattaya railway station, relieving city roads.
• Red - long-term: shares a section with the Green line, then runs along Jomtien Beach towards the National Stadium.

Timeline

• Public hearings: September - November 2026.
• Final report: around January 2027.
• On 1 September 2026 the mayor heard a proposal from a private company; the contractor will be chosen after the EIA and hearings.

What this means for the property market

Transport raises the value of areas along the lines. The centre, Jomtien and Nong Prue stand to benefit. More in the overview what is planned in Pattaya through 2031.
