Sandcastle might sound like somewhere you'd find on Pattaya Beach, but this one has made itself at home a little further inland, along Soi 6. Occupying a double-width space towards the Beach Road end, Sandcastle Bar and Lounge offers a roomier take on the traditional Soi 6 girls bar.

Inside, there's a spacious, air-conditioned lounge with comfortable seating, pool tables and a good-sized team of girls to keep visitors entertained. It's a sociable setup where an afternoon can easily pass between a few drinks, a game of pool and some company, without needing to venture back out into the Pattaya heat.

Sandcastle also has a presence beyond Soi 6, with its own website and livestreams bringing some of the bar's entertainment to viewers online. Back on the street, its illuminated purple signage makes it easy to recognise among the many neighbouring bars.

With plenty of room to relax, a little friendly competition around the pool tables and the company of the girls, Sandcastle is one place where you might find yourself building an afternoon around another round.
