PATTAYA, Thailand – Naklua came alive over the weekend with a lively community atmosphere at Trok Rong Ya and Trok Thai Silp, where visitors enjoyed a colorful mix of local culture, food, shopping and old-town character. Located just north of Pattaya, further down from the Wong Amat area, Naklua offers a more relaxed side of the city, with its old streets and local communities providing a glimpse into the area’s traditional charm.
The weekend event, promoted by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Pattaya City, brought visitors into the narrow streets to enjoy local food, handmade products and the friendly atmosphere of the neighborhood. The streets were filled with tasty treats, local vendors and plenty of photo opportunities, giving visitors a chance to experience Naklua beyond Pattaya’s better-known beaches and nightlife. Families, long-term visitors and tourists wandered through the area, stopping to sample food, browse stalls and enjoy the easygoing weekend atmosphere. For many, the appeal was simply taking a break from the usual tourist spots and discovering a more local side of Pattaya.
With the weekend event now wrapped up, visitors who missed it can keep an eye out for the next edition. Naklua’s old streets will be ready to welcome them back with good food, friendly faces and plenty of local character. For those planning their next weekend outing, Trok Rong Ya and Trok Thai Silp are worth adding to the list — especially for anyone who enjoys discovering the quieter, more traditional side of Pattaya.
