; Hat Dongtan; r 3700-11,000B; )
Rabbit Resort has
stunning, stylish and secluded bungalows and villas that showcase Thai design and art, all
set in beachfront forest hidden between Jomtien and Pattaya Tai. There are no rabbits
here, but it's a perfect choice for families with a couple of swimming pools and easy
beach access.

;
Soi 4, Th Phra Tamnak; r 2000-12,000B; )
Retreat into a tropical garden resort bisected by meandering paths and decorated with
tongue-in-cheek artwork. The cheaper rooms are a little drab for the price, but there's a
semi-private beach and an incongruous wholesomeness for a resort affiliated with PDA,
the Thai family planning NGO that promotes condom use.

;
cnr Soi 22, 164/1 Th Naklua; r 2500-5200B; )
A sur-
prisingly affordable quality resort, marred only by the 300B per day fee for wi-fi; Wood-
lands Resort is low-key and professional with light, airy rooms, a tropical garden and two
swimming pools.

Eating
Pattaya is a package holiday town, so there are a lot of overpriced, mediocre restaurants.
But the seafood is always good.
Leng Kee
(Th Pattaya Klang; dishes 100-300B; 24hr)
Pattaya has a thriving Chinatown run by families who
expertly balance their Thai and Chinese heritage. Leng Kee specialises in duck dishes, but
is city-renowned during Chinese New Year when the menu goes vegetarian and includes
golden good-luck noodles.
