Scooter Rental in Pratumnak Hill
Pratumnak Hill is the upmarket residential headland that separates Central Pattaya from Jomtien — a quieter, greener area of condos, boutique hotels, Cosy Beach, and the famous Pattaya Viewpoint overlooking the bay and Koh Larn. It's home to the Royal Thai Navy base, the Big Buddha (Wat Phra Khao Yai), and Cosy Beach which is one of Pattaya's cleanest and quietest swimming beaches.
A scooter in Pratumnak is essential because the hill is too big to walk across and the beaches on either side (Cosy, Dongtan) are spread out. The ride to Central Pattaya is 5 minutes downhill, Jomtien is 5 minutes the other way, and the Pattaya Viewpoint is a 10-minute loop worth doing in the early evening for sunset photos over the bay.
