Pattaya City

Pattaya is seriously underrated for digital nomads. Internet is fast and affordable — home fiber plans hit nearly 1Gbps for just $20/month, and Finn Mobile offers strong 200–300 Mbps mobile data for only $7–$12/month, covering you almost everywhere. Cafés are decent for focused work sessions, and the cost of living is noticeably lower than Bangkok or Phuket — from food to rentals. If you’re after a calmer, cleaner place to work remotely, Jomtien Beach is the real gem. Just 10–15 minutes from central Pattaya, it’s quieter and more residential, yet still gives you fast access to coworking spots, gyms, and nightlife when you want it. Bonus: getting to Bangkok is a breeze — modern AC buses run 10x/day from Jomtien, only $5 each way, and the ride is under 90 minutes. Whether you're avoiding visa runs, building a routine, or just craving some balance — Pattaya (especially Jomtien) is a smart, budget-friendly base for long-term digital nomads.
