TL;DR / Quick Summary
Treetown is a compact cluster of open-fronted girls bars in a relaxed outdoor setting. The individual bars aren't famous by name — the draw is the low-key atmosphere, friendly staff, and the ease of drifting between bars in a confined space. A good alternative to the main strips for those who want something quieter.
Treetown Checklist
- Walk the full area first: See all the bars before committing to one.
- Agree prices upfront: Confirm lady drink and any other fees before spending.
- Carry cash: Most bars here are cash only.
- Go early evening: Best atmosphere before 10pm.
- Combine with other areas: Works well as an early stop on a wider crawl.
Pro Tip: Treetown is best visited early in the evening — the vibe is relaxed, the staff aren't yet pulled in multiple directions, and you can have a proper conversation. It's a different pace to the chaos of Soi 6 at peak time.

Where Is Treetown?
Treetown is located near the Soi Buakhao area in Central Pattaya — a short walk or Grab ride from the main Soi Buakhao strip. The area gets its name from the trees that shade the outdoor seating area.
How to get there:
- Baht bus: Second Road bus heading south; ask for Soi Buakhao; ฿15
- Bolt/Grab: Search "Treetown Pattaya" in the app; ฿40–฿70 from central locations
- On foot from Soi Buakhao: A short walk, making it easy to combine with a Soi Buakhao crawl
Nearest landmarks: Soi Buakhao main strip, Soi Lengkee, Diana Complex
Why Visit Treetown?
Treetown has its own appeal distinct from the bigger bar areas:
- Outdoor setting: A more open, airy feel than the enclosed bars on some streets — the trees give welcome shade and the whole area has a pleasant, less-commercial atmosphere
- Open-fronted bars: See the vibe from the outside before walking in
- Relaxed crowd: Less tourist-heavy than the main strips
- Good value: Drink prices are among the lowest in Pattaya — ฿70–฿110 for a beer, happy hour from 5pm
- Low pressure: No hard sell, no cover charges, no obligation to spend big
What to Expect
Treetown is a row of small girls bars clustered together in a compact outdoor area. The bars sit side by side and there's no sharp divide between them — you can move from one to the next easily, and the staff of neighbouring bars tend to know each other.
The individual bars don't carry famous names. What makes the area work is the collective atmosphere — the outdoor setting, the casual crowd, and the easy pace. It's not trying to compete with Soi 6 or Walking Street, and that's precisely its appeal for the regulars who frequent it.
Lady drinks are available at all the bars. The setup is social — plenty of seating, easy to chat, and no rush to move on. A good choice if you want to slow down and enjoy a few drinks in one spot rather than bar-hopping at pace.
The Atmosphere
Treetown tends to attract a mix of long-stay expats, regular visitors, and those who have already done the main strips and want something different. The staff are friendly and unhurried. The outdoor setting makes it more comfortable than many of the enclosed bars on hotter evenings.
It is small enough that you'll see the whole area quickly. The best approach is to walk through once, pick the bar with the right energy, and settle in. Don't overthink it — they're all broadly similar in what they offer.
Opening Hours
- Bars open: from around 5pm–6pm
- Happy hour: Most bars run happy hour pricing (beer ฿60–฿80) from 5pm to around 8pm
- Best time: 6pm–10pm — busiest when the heat of the day drops and expat regulars arrive
- Late night: Can thin out after midnight — it is not a late-night destination on the scale of LK Metro
Pricing Guide
| Item | Typical Price |
|---|---|
| Beer | ฿70–฿110 |
| Lady drink | ฿100–฿180 |
