Soi Buakhao

Updated May 31, 2021 By Darren C

Soi Buakhao is a 1.7-kilometer road that runs south to north from South Pattaya Road (Pattaya Tai) to Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang) and between 2nd Road and 3rd Road.

To the west, 2nd Road is a maximum of 370 meters, and to Pattaya Beach Road is approximately 650 meters. To the east, 3rd Road is an average of around 350 meters away.

Soi Buakhao (photo above) has a “main street” feel about it, despite there being no pavements, and that in many places, the road is barely wide enough for two cars.

It’s really like a condensed version of Pattaya within Pattaya, with almost everything you need—especially regarding nightlife, accommodation, and food and drinks. And what Soi Buakhao does not have can be found not too far away.

Practically the entire length of Soi Buakhao is home to an array of shops and businesses, including many bars, restaurants, guest houses, and some of the most popular guest friendly hotels in Pattaya.

Besides beer bar complexes, there are lots of shophouse style beer bars—like the ones in the photo above—along the entire length of Soi Buakhao. They are a great place to chill out and watch life go by or to get friendly with the girls.

Soi Honey (Soi 12) is about 140 meters north of Soi Diana Inn and connects Soi Buakhao to 2nd Road. Soi Honey is home to many bars, guest houses, and hotels but is best known for its massage parlors—including soapy massage.

North of Soi Honey is Soi 9 (Soi Skaw Beach) and the popular Tree Town night market and beer bar complex—from where you can also access Soi Made in Thailand, which connects with 2nd Road close to Central Festival Beach shopping mall.

Around 360 meters north of Tree Town is Soi New Plaza, another street with a very popular beer bar complex, which you can also access via 2nd Road about 90 meters south of Soi 7.

Baht buses run in both directions on Soi Buakhao and Central and South Pattaya Roads, and you’re never more than a short walk away from a motorcycle taxi rank.

So commuting up and down Soi Buakhao and getting around Pattaya from Soi Baukhao is very convenient and cheap.

The location right in the heart of Pattaya, cheap accommodation, cheap food and drink, and nightlife within walking distance make Soi Buakhao the perfect place for singles on a budget in Pattaya.

Here’s a Google map of Soi Buakhao and some of the streets that link Soi Buakhao to the major roads.
