Naklua / Wongamat
Area Introduction
Naklua and Wongamat are located in the northern part of Pattaya, extending along the coastline beyond Central Pattaya. While often referenced together, the area combines the older local character of Naklua with the more coastal, residential focus of Wongamat Beach.
Compared to central districts, Naklua / Wongamat feels more contained and less commercially intense. Development is present but more selectively distributed, with residential buildings, local businesses, and beachfront stretches forming a calmer northern edge of the city.
The area is commonly viewed as a transition zone between Pattaya’s urban core and quieter northern districts, offering proximity without full immersion in central city activity.
