Real estate in Wongamat / Naklua, Pattaya

About Wongamat / Naklua

The northern coast: quiet, clean beaches and expensive seafront homes

The most upmarket and calm district of Pattaya. There is less tourist bustle than in the centre, and many new seafront condominiums and high-end hotels. Naklua is the more local, Thai part with a seafood market; Wongamat is the area of premium towers and beach clubs.
