In the south of soi 13/2, South Pattaya known locally as “the strip”, this is what Pattaya’s really about, with sex for sale in go-go bars, discos, massage parlors and open-sided “bar beers”. The town’s enclave of gay bars is here too, focused mainly on the interlinked network of small lanes known as Pattayaland soi 1, 2 and 3, but actually signed as Sois 13/3, 13/4 and 13/5, between the Royal Garden Plaza and Soi 14. Pattaya beach road continues south from its junction with South Pattaya Road way down stretch of road is also known as Walking Street because it’s pedestrianized every evening from 7pm, though proposed development may put a stop to that.
