145 Bar is a throwback to the older Pattaya formula: a small girls bar, cheap rooms, free pool and the beach only a short walk away.

Tucked into Soi 12 just off Beach Road, it combines a straightforward bar downstairs with budget guest rooms above, giving it the feel of the kind of bar-and-guesthouse setup that once defined much of central Pattaya. Drinks, girls and conversation keep things simple, while the free pool table gives regulars and passers-by another reason to settle in.
