Travel Guide: Small Condo Pattaya, Central Pattaya

Introduction

For travelers craving a home-away-from-home experience in central Pattaya, Small Condo (小型公寓) in Naklua’s quieter northern edge of the city strikes the perfect balance between convenience, affordability, and privacy. Far from the chaotic crowds of Walking Street but within easy reach of all Pattaya’s top draws, this self-contained apartment property is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and long-stay visitors who want flexibility over rigid resort schedules.

Hotel Overview

Tucked at 430/158 Moo.9 Soi Arunothai 5, Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonburi, this ground-floor accessible property offers fully independent private apartments suited to short and extended stays. Every apartment is air-conditioned, non-smoking, and fitted with a full kitchen (complete with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kettle, and full kitchenware) so you can whip up casual meals instead of dining out for every meal. Each unit also features a private bathroom with a shower or soaking tub, a separate seating area with a sofa, a flat-screen TV with satellite and pay-per-view channels, and a private balcony overlooking the city. Free Wi-Fi is available across the entire property, and on-site services include paid laundry and ironing, car rental, and safe deposit boxes for extra security. Public parking is available nearby for just 80 THB per day, and the multilingual staff speak English, Italian, and Thai to assist with any travel needs. The entire property is fully wheelchair-accessible, with all units located on the ground floor for easy access.

Nearby Attractions

Three standout local attractions are within a 15-minute drive of the condo:

• Sanctuary of Truth: Just 10 minutes north, this awe-inspiring all-wood temple carved with intricate Hindu and Buddhist motifs sits on the Gulf of Thailand coastline. Completed in 2023 after over 60 years of construction, it offers stunning photo opportunities and daily cultural dance performances.
• Pattaya Floating Market: A 12-minute drive south, this iconic market lets you browse handcrafted souvenirs, sample fresh Thai street food from vendors paddling wooden canoes, and watch traditional folk craft demonstrations.
• Khao Phra Bat Pattaya: A 10-minute drive inland, this hilltop temple offers panoramic views over Pattaya’s city skyline and coastline. The quiet, tree-lined trails leading to the golden Buddha statue are perfect for a gentle morning hike away from the beach crowds.

Travel Tips

Note that extra towels and linens incur a small extra fee, so pack your own beach towel if you plan to visit the coast daily to cut costs. Book long stays in advance to unlock discounted weekly rates, as the property is popular with snowbirds and digital nomads between November and February. Grab a motorbike rental (arranged directly through the front desk) for easy navigation around Pattaya’s side streets, or book a ride via the Grab app for just 50 THB to reach the nearest beach at Wong Amat in 5 minutes. For budget travelers, the fully equipped kitchen lets you save money on meals by shopping for fresh produce at the nearby Nongprue Market, just a 10-minute walk from the condo.
