For the ultimate beach vacation it is hard to find a better suitor that Jomtien Beach in Thailand.

A mere two-hour ride from Bangkok Airport, Jomtien Beach is only two kilometres from its busy counterpart South Pattaya.

Jomtien Beach and the area along its beach road have now become more and more popular for swimming, water sports and activities because it has a long straight coastline and they’re being less boats anchored in its waters. There are very many good quality hotels, bungalows and guesthouses. A large selection of small and large condominiums is also available for short or long-term rental and there are many good restaurants serving a wide variety of fresh seafood with a full range of Thai cuisine and International dishes.

Many tourists come to this area to just enjoy the scenery and the beach. Buy, bring or rent your own chair to relax on the beach with or dine at a beachside restaurant to have your food and drink served directly to you as you soak up the sun or simply lay back and listen to the waters lapping on the sand. Go swimming or enjoy water sports such as wind surfing, ride a water scooter, parasail or take a speed boat ride, even water skiing is an option.

Jomtien Beach has silky white sand and a very long coastline to explore. The beach is much more peaceful here than its counterpart of Pattaya further up the coast. The beaches are always kept in a pristine condition by the many vendors who are there to look after all your needs.

From the very beginning of the straight beach road you will find numerous souvenir shops, international restaurants and food stalls. At the very farthest point of beach road, there are only a few but still very good seafood restaurants. It is the most tranquil part of the beach where at times you may be the only person in sight.

At night, you can safely swim along most of Jomtien Beach as the sands are floodlit. There are also many options when it comes to spending your evenings on the town as there are numerous quiet bars for you to indulge in the drink of your choosing. Expense isn’t an issue either – even the most exorbitant of cocktails are only a few dollars in Thailand.

Jomtien Beach simply has all the peaceful beach luxuries you dream of without having to travel far from Bangkok. However, if you do fancy a more adventure-filled evening, you can travel a few minutes down the coast for a full range of nightlife activities in Pattaya.
