Travel Guide: Paradise Garden Hotel, North Pattaya

Introduction

Tucked away in the quiet, residential enclave of Naklua, North Pattaya, Paradise Garden Hotel (天堂花園酒店) offers a laid-back alternative to the crowded, party-centric core of Pattaya. Far from the blaring nightlife of Walking Street but still close enough to reach central attractions in 15 minutes, this family-friendly boutique property balances affordability, comfort, and convenience for every type of traveler, from couples seeking a quiet getaway to families exploring the Eastern Gulf of Thailand.

Hotel Overview

Located at 536 Moo5 Soi Naklua 12, Banglamung, Chonburi 20180, this welcoming property caters to all travel styles with thoughtful amenities. Two year-round outdoor swimming pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, let guests cool off at any time, with options to sunbathe on the property’s open sun terrace. All rooms are air-conditioned, outfitted with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge, and a private en-suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Many rooms open onto private balconies with city or pool views. Family rooms and interconnecting options are available for groups traveling with kids.

On-site services make stays seamless: 24-hour front desk staff speak both English and Thai, can arrange private check-in/check-out and luggage storage. Free private parking is available for guests driving or renting a car, and daily housekeeping keeps rooms fresh. Security features including 24-hour on-site guards and CCTV in all public areas add extra peace of mind.

Local Attractions

Three top local spots are just a 10-minute drive or 20-minute walk from the hotel:

• Naklua Beach: A quiet, low-key stretch of golden sand just 1.5 kilometers from the hotel. Unlike crowded Pattaya Beach, it offers calm water for a morning swim, casual local seafood shacks, and sunset walks with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Thailand.
• The Sanctuary of Truth: This jaw-dropping all-wood religious sanctuary is just 3 kilometers from the hotel. Carved entirely from teak, the sprawling structure showcases traditional Thai craftsmanship, with intricate carvings covering every surface, and overlooks the ocean for postcard-perfect photos.
• Naklua Fresh Food Market: A 10-minute walk from the hotel, this open-air local market is the best spot to sample authentic Thai street food, pick up fresh tropical fruit, and browse handmade souvenirs at a fraction of tourist-area prices.

Travel Tips

The property is entirely non-smoking, with a designated outdoor smoking area for guests who smoke. If you plan to explore farther afield, book a Grab taxi directly from your phone – fares to central Pattaya run less than 100 THB, far cheaper than unregulated street taxis. Book early during peak season (November to February) as family rooms fill up fast. For guests renting a car, the hotel’s free off-street parking eliminates the hassle of finding a spot along busy Naklua roads. The hotel is also a 10-minute drive from the Bali Hai Pier, making it a convenient base for day trips to Koh Larn island.
