I am not a big fan of the beaches in Pattaya, and find Jomtien beach a bit more relaxed. In previous visits I found there was a lot of trash on the beach, but found this visit a real effort was being made to make the area cleaner. That being said, the water quality is certainly not like the sparking... More

There are vendors up and down the beach that will sell you a canvas seat to sit on and an umbrella to sit under for about 30Baht or one dollar. They will sell you drinks etc and some will go and get what ever you want from up the street,,,for a fee. Lot of venders also try to sell there... More

Jomtien although not clean is better than Pattaya beach, better food, better water and better holiday conditions... plus less people that Pattaya beach.

The innumerable restaurants alongside Beach Road are convenient and offer a taste for everybody, some even serve drinks across the road to the beach. Be somewhat careful with the two or three restaurants right at the South end of Jomtien... More

I really don't understand reviewers reporting about Jomtien beach cleanness. IMHO it is one of the dirtiest (along with Pattaya) beaches in Thailand with awful smell from shoreline water. Hardly can imagine sober people swimming there. They have a lot of work to clean it.

Plenty of shops and restaurants along the beach road, so after relaxing on the beach, just cross over the road for a selection of great food
