Pratumnak vs Jomtien comes down to this: for most buyers, Jomtien is the better place to buy a condo, because it offers more choice, a lower entry price and a long beach. Pratumnak is the better pick if you want a hillside address close to the city, and it holds its own on one-bedroom prices.
As of November 2026, we list 411 condos for sale in Jomtien and 154 on Pratumnak Hill. Those listings give a real picture of what your money buys on each side. Prices change, so treat every figure here as a snapshot and confirm it before you decide.
These are next-door neighbours, not rival towns. Pattaya runs south along the coast to Phra Tamnak Hill, as Pratumnak is also spelled, which is known for its viewpoints and the Wat Phra Yai temple. Jomtien lies directly south of the hill, and Thepprasit Road marks the line between it and Pattaya.

| Median asking price | ฿3,944,900 | ฿3,399,900 |

The median is the middle price, so a single very expensive penthouse does not skew it. Per square metre the two areas are close, which means the gap in the median mostly reflects the mix of homes on offer, not a cheaper neighbourhood.
The overall numbers hide the most useful finding. Jomtien is clearly cheaper for a studio, but Pratumnak is slightly cheaper for a one-bedroom and gives you more room for it.
| Size | Pratumnak median | Jomtien median |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | ฿2,259,900 (28.5 m², 31 listed) | ฿1,844,900 (30 m², 80 listed) |
| 1 bedroom | ฿3,150,000 (39 m², 65 listed) | ฿3,299,400 (35.11 m², 228 listed) |
| 2 bedrooms | ฿6,499,900 (73 m², 46 listed) | ฿6,149,900 (72 m², 81 listed) |
| 3 bedrooms | ฿9,629,900 (152 m², 7 listed) | ฿19,524,950 (146 m², 8 listed) |
Read the three-bedroom row with care, because seven or eight homes are too few to set a pattern. Still, if a large home is the goal, Pratumnak is worth a close look before you commit.
On a small budget, Jomtien has the stronger hand: 100 condos under ฿2 million against 15. Our guide to studio condos in Jomtien under ฿2 million goes through that part of the market. For families, our 2 bedroom condos in Pratumnak guide does the same on the hill.
A sea view costs less to reach in Jomtien. The cheapest unit showing the sea starts at ฿1,190,000 there and ฿1,990,000 on the hill, and the median for a sea-view listing is ฿5,129,900 against ฿5,649,900.
Among listings that state a view, the share is similar: 159 of 309 in Jomtien and 69 of 121 on Pratumnak. The table shows some of the cheapest sea-view units on foreign quota, which means a foreign buyer can hold them in their own name.

A listed view is only a starting point. Stand on the balcony yourself, and ask whether anything could be built in front of it.
Jomtien Beach runs for about 6 km, starting roughly 3 km south of Pattaya. It is lined with high-rise condominiums, hotels and restaurants, and it is popular with foreign retirees and with Bangkok residents who keep a second home here.
That length brings a wide range of buildings and budgets. Copacabana Beach Jomtien, completed in 2022, is a beachfront tower with direct beach access and listings from ฿3,399,900, while listings at Jomtien Beach Condo start at ฿1,200,000.
The hill sits between Jomtien and Pattaya city, so both are close at hand. Its character shifts from street to street: Unixx stands where the hill meets South Pattaya, a short walk from Walking Street, while Andromeda Condominium is steps from Cosy Beach.
Do not choose on the area name alone. Walk the route from the building to the sand, because a hill changes how far that feels.
Names can also mislead. Jomtien Complex Condotel, for example, is on our books as a Pratumnak building despite its name, so check the map as well as the title.
We list too few rentals to judge either market on its own: 13 condos in Pratumnak, at a median of ฿15,000 a month, and 17 in Jomtien, at ฿19,000. The Jomtien group includes more two-bedroom homes, which lifts its median, so this is not proof that one area earns more than the other.
If rental income matters, ask for the building's real letting history, not an estimate. Also count your exit costs: the Department of Lands sets a 2% registration fee on a condo's appraised value, plus a 3.3% specific business tax if you sell within five years of buying.
Jomtien is our recommendation for most foreign buyers, and Pratumnak is the better fit for some. Both share the same practical strengths: Pattaya is about 150 km from Bangkok, and U-Tapao airport is a 45-minute drive from the city.

Yes, in both areas, within a building's foreign quota of up to 49% of its floor area. We list 92 foreign-quota condos in Pratumnak and 236 in Jomtien, but always confirm the quota for the exact unit.
