Soi Chaiyapoon

Soi Chaiyapoon is a short soi in central Pattaya, off Soi Buakhao, in the Soi Buakhao district. English Rose, Green Lantern, The Backyard, Family Restaurant & Bar, Beautyful Health Massage and Number One Health Massage are close by. It is a short walk from the main run of Soi Buakhao.

A short soi packed with beer bars, and a hangout for Soi Buakhao regulars. It has a different feel from the main strips: smaller, less crowded and more neighborly. If you want somewhere to settle for the evening rather than walk, this is a good soi to try.

It is less crowded than the main strips, with small beer bars and the odd gogo, so you can usually find a seat. The regulars from Soi Buakhao come here to drink. If you want a bigger scene, the main Soi Buakhao strip and LK Metro are close.

English Rose, Green Lantern, The Backyard and Family Restaurant & Bar are close, and Beautyful Health Massage and Number One Health Massage are nearby if you want a massage. Soi Buakhao's beer bars, Tree Town and LK Metro are all within a short walk.

Yes. Beer bars are neighborhood watering holes, and nobody expects you to take anyone home. The women may ask for a lady drink, and a polite not tonight is fine. Buy one for someone good company and you will be welcome back.

A woman who leaves with you has to be bar fined, which you pay to the bar, and her own fee is a separate matter between the two of you. Rules differ from bar to bar, so ask the staff first. Keep your chits to hand so you can check the tab as the night goes on.

Both are small, relaxed spots off Soi Buakhao. Soi Chaiyapoon is a short soi with beer bars, while Tree Town is an open-air complex around a big tree with live music. Pick Chaiyapoon for a chat and Tree Town for music. Both are a short walk apart.

Walk the soi once, pick a bar with a friendly feel and stay for a few drinks. Come back another night if you like the place: regulars get a warmer welcome. Hours and prices change, and the venue listing keeps VIP members up to date.
