For the purpose of this website this area is the west side of Sukhumvit (inside Sukhumvit as they say), north of Theprassit Road through to North Pattaya Road (Pattaya Nua) and Pattaya Beach Road (Pattaya Bay).

Jomtien lies to the south of Pattaya and has its own long sandy beach that seems to go on forever.

Pratumnak Hill is the hill that separates Pattaya from Jomtien and can be reached by either driving on Thappraya Road or Pratumnak Road.

Does your real estate broker in Pattaya have one of these?

East Pattaya, for my website purposes, covers the Soi Chaiyaphon Withi, Siam Country Club Road, Soi Nern Plub Wan, Soi Khao Noi, Soi Khao Talo and other sois down to Soi 87 and as far east as Mabprachan Lake, Chak Nork, Horseshoe Point, Crocodile Farm and East Jomtien areas.

Mabprachan Lake is in the east of Pattaya and is sometimes linked with the district of Pong.
Mabprachan has always been popular with Ex-Pats and Thais alike as it is out-of-town but close enough to drive in for the beaches, shopping and entertainment.

People often pronounce Pattaya differently. 

I say "Pattiya" while others give it a "long aaa" and say "Pattaaya".

Huay Yai was once an area of Pattaya that you drove past to get to Bangsarey.

It is nice to read that Thailand has been included in the World’s Best Places To Retire In 2015; a ranking list compiled by the International Living magazine, due to its culture and low healthcare cost.
