History of Walking Street

The history of Walking Street is inextricably linked to Pattaya itself. 60 years ago it was an unremarkable village, whose inhabitants earned their living by fishing and collecting coconuts. The surroundings of the settlement were famous for their beauty, and many wealthy Thais built cottages here and spent their leisure time. The first restaurants were built for them.

.

A turning point in the history of Pattaya is June 29, 1959. This is the date of the beginning of the vacation of American soldiers serving at a base nearby. Vacationing on the coast, they drove to Pattaya and, seduced by the local natural beauty, spent all their furlough days here. Upon their return, the soldiers shared their impressions with their fellow soldiers, and the news of the crystal clear water (and at the time it was so) and comfortable beach instantly spread among the military, and soon hundreds of U.S. soldiers were vacationing here.
