Jomtien is not only popular with tourists, wintering men and expats, Thais also love to come here on a weekend, a big company picnics on the sand, on the sidewalk at the beach or even in the back of a pickup truck parked on the Beach Road (road along the beach). Especially a lot of Thais come to Jomtien at the weekend.
At sunset and with the onset of darkness, in the evenings, there is crowded and quite noisy (although the area is still considered quieter than the center of Pattaya). At the Night Market and parked along the road jeeps thundering music. In season, there are many Russian tourists on the beach, especially in the center and in the south of Jomtien, where the popular compatriots have hotels and condos.
For swimming Jomtien is not the best place, water is still pretty dirty. Yes, and in the sand on the beach comes across a different kind garbage. But take a walk, sit by the sea, live nearby – very conveniently. Not as noisy as in the center of Pattaya, there are quiet streets with greenery, the entire infrastructure, but at the same time close to everything and the road along the beach goes public transport.

The water is warm, but you can freeze by getting out of the water or even just sitting in the shade. At the same time, from the end of February, the season begins. strong ebb.
The sea goes a few meters away, exposing a little muddy and dirty bottom, in some places come across various marine inhabitants. In the time of low tide becomes inconvenient to swim – for a long time knee, go to the normal depths far and the water is cloudy. Time the ebb is not always the same, in the southern part of the beach the ebb is noticeable more, in the north – less.
