Walking street is a red light district. Most of the nightlife action geared towards tourists is found in South Pattaya, with the densest concentration of bars, Go-Go bars, massage parlor and discos along the famous neon-drenched strip known as Walking Street .

10. Pattaya Elephant Village

The Elephant Village was opened in Pattaya in 1973 as a sanctuary for former working elephants. These elephants, through reasons of injury or ill health, can no longer be used as a part of the backbone of heavy work in the jungles of Thailand. Also because of their diminishing habitat, it is now longer possible to return them to the wild. Pattaya Elephant Village showcases daily life of elephants and their masters. Elephant rides around the village are recommended.
