About this place Jomtien Beach (Dongtan section)

The Dongtan section of Jomtien Beach is one of Pattaya's most established gay beach destinations, drawing a diverse crowd of LGBTQ+ travellers and locals. Located along Thailand's eastern seaboard, this stretch of sand offers a relaxed seaside vibe where you can enjoy the Andaman Sea while connecting with the queer community. The beach is known for its welcoming atmosphere, making it a comfortable spot whether you're visiting solo, with friends, or as a couple. Jomtien Beach in general has long been a popular destination for LGBTQ+ visitors to Pattaya, and the Dongtan section has become particularly well-known within the gay scene. You'll find a mix of beachgoers throughout the day, and the area maintains a casual, social energy. It's an ideal spot to relax, sunbathe, and soak up the tropical atmosphere while being among like-minded travellers. When planning your visit, remember that Thailand's beaches are best enjoyed during the cooler and drier months, typically November through February. The area is easily accessible and well-established, making it convenient for both first-time visitors and returning travellers. Whether you're looking to unwind by the water or be part of the wider LGBTQ+ scene in Pattaya, Jomtien Beach's Dongtan section offers a genuine seaside experience in a gay-friendly setting.

If you turn right at the 7-Eleven at the end of the street, you'll reach Dong Tan Beach; if you turn left, you'll reach Jomtien Beach. The far end of Dong Tan Beach is the gay area. That said, it's not all that different from the other areas. The only difference is that there are rainbow flags. You'll see families and couples there as well. The beach shacks are numbered from the far end, and I always go to number 20. The staff are friendly and helpful, which is probably the same everywhere, but the toilets are right across the street. By the way, the toilet fee has gone up from 5 THB to 10 THB. Probably for the same reason as the songthaew fares.

"Dong Tan Beach is a comfortable, shady, breezy, and well-maintained running spot. Perfect for runners who want both a natural feel and a consistent run." 🌊🌴✨

A pleasant beach extending from Jomtien Beach and a little beyond Pattaya Park. There are shady trees, plenty of sun loungers, and umbrellas. At the beginning of the beach, there's a small exercise complex. In the evenings, fitness dance classes are held for everyone. Along the beach are numerous cafes, restaurants, and hotels.

I used it in late March. I chose it because it was the peak season and there were lots of beach umbrellas! I was able to spend a very peaceful time there. (^^)

Traffic is bad. The roads are narrow, and because of the parking, it is hopeless if you get tangled up. The beach isn't as crowded as Pattaya Beach.

The beach is beautiful, but you can't swim in the sea (it's dirty, like everywhere else in Pattaya, you have to go to the islands)
