About Tree Town

Tree Town is a U-shaped open-air bar complex with two entrances on Soi Buakhao, making it one of the easiest nightlife areas to find in central Pattaya. The layout is simple: bars line both sides of the U shape, with food stalls, vendors, and seating in the central courtyard. There is no entrance fee — you walk in and pay only for what you order. Beers are priced between 60 and 100 THB, making it one of the more affordable drinking spots in central Pattaya. Live music is a defining feature of Tree Town. Several bars have resident bands playing nightly covers, and the sound carries through the open-air layout. Basilisk Bar stands out for its live band performing covers ranging from Bon Jovi to Whitney Houston, taking requests from the audience. For sports fans, Danny's is the go-to spot, showing Premier League football, Spanish League, UFC, One Championship, and pay-per-view boxing events on multiple screens. The food stalls in the center serve a wide range of Thai street food, from pad thai and grilled meats to fresh smoothies. Many stalls also serve beer, so it is possible to eat and drink without sitting at a bar. This mix of food, music, and affordable drinks draws a diverse crowd of Thais, expats, and backpackers. Tree Town opens in the late afternoon and stays active until the early hours. It connects naturally with the surrounding Soi Buakhao and LK Metro areas, making it a popular starting or midpoint for a night out in central Pattaya.
