Jomtien Complex is the new Walking Street! I have heard that several times recently and it’s simply not true…. Well, wait a minute. It isn’t really true now but there is a very good argument for why it might become such a place in a couple of years, although let’s hope with a little more finesse…..

Until recently it was noticeable for being rather empty apart from a few bars, restaurants and the odd massage parlour. Now it is hard to miss for very different reasons; it has become a thriving, at times throbbing, centre of activity at all times of day or night. There is now a multitude of bars, restaurants and assorted other businesses catering to just about every section of the local population. Having perhaps the best geographic location possible between the beach and the main arterial road between Pattaya and Jomtien, it is traversed by families, straight, gay and older passers-by. In fact, if one leaves the beach, the main road or any of the local large condo developments it is hard to avoid it!
