Explore Na Kluea, Pattaya's quiet northern village. Discover seafood restaurants, local bars, and authentic Thai atmosphere away from the crowds.
Nakluea is the northernmost neighborhood of greater Pattaya, located beyond the Dolphin Roundabout at the end of Second Road. The area has a distinctly quieter, more residential character compared to the tourist-heavy zones of central Pattaya. Bars and restaurants begin within a few yards of the Dolphin Roundabout along Naklua Road and continue up to Soi 18, after which the area becomes more residential. The general standard of restaurants in Nakluea is considered better than central Pattaya, with a full range of international cuisine options. Moom Aroi is a well-known beachside restaurant serving Thai seafood with live music performances after sunset — popular with both locals and foreign expats. Wong Amat Beach, accessible via Soi 18, is one of Pattaya's better stretches of sand. Soi 18 itself is an interesting side street with its own collection of bars and restaurants. The Sanctuary of Truth, an impressive all-wood temple, is one of the area's most notable attractions. Nakluea nightlife is relaxed and community-oriented rather than tourist-focused. The bars here cater to a mix of local Thai residents and long-term expats, with prices lower than central Pattaya.
Popular establishments in Na Kluea include 69 Show, 808 Club, Blue Marlin Bar, DAM Pattaya, Happy2 Bar.
