How we picked
These are the best nightclubs in Pattaya for a group, six rooms side by side: two superclubs for size, three Walking Street clubs for the late peak, and Hollywood for the Thai crowd. We picked on the room, the music, how late it runs and whether a group of ten can walk in together.
Licensed entertainment venues in Chonburi, Pattaya included, and licensed venues inside hotels may open until 4am under Ministerial Regulation No. 3, TAT News says; ordinary bars close earlier, usually by 2am.
Here's the tip: Walking Street is car-free in the evening, so the car drops you at the Beach Road end and waits there.
Tanner's pick: 808 Club for hip-hop around 11pm, then Insomnia for the peak after midnight.
Want the best table at any of these? Ask Tanner.
Which club for your group?
It comes down to the music and how late you want to go.
Our groups start on Walking Street at 808, then finish at Insomnia or Mixx, or take the car to World House.
Not sure which? Ask Tanner which room suits your group.

Entry, dress code and staying safe
Club entry is free on many nights, with a door fee on event nights, and the drinking age is 20. A "++" on the menu means 10% service and 7% VAT on top.
Dress smart casual: Republic wants a collared or sleeved shirt, and Insomnia turns away flip-flops and swimwear. Bring your passport, because the clubs check ID.
Keep bags zipped on Walking Street, stay with your group and take the car home rather than a stranger's ride. The Tourist Police answer 1155 in English, all night.
Ask Tanner to put your names on the list before you go.
Make a weekend of it
Add a pool villa and a boat to Koh Larn: see our Walking Street guide, Pattaya pool villas, Pattaya yachts and the best bars in Pattaya. Plan it with Tanner.

Getting home
The car, the door and the table
Book three things before you go out. The car: Walking Street closes to traffic in the evening, and World House and Hollywood are a drive away, so a driver waits at Beach Road. From Bangkok, the party van for up to 10 is ฿3,500 each way. The door: bring your passport for ID, and leave the beachwear and flip-flops at the villa. The table: your VIP table means the group walks in together. The club bills the table; Tanner books it. Plan it with Tanner.
