About this audio guide
This guide to Wong Amat Beach in north Pattaya starts with the forgotten hotelier whose name the beach still carries, Boonwong Amatayakul, who opened a guesthouse here in 1960 beside the old fishing village of Naklua. It follows the shoreline through a 1988 sale to Central Group and into the tower-building boom of later decades that gave this narrow strip a new reputation among locals. Listen for how the old fishing rhythm and the new high-rises sit side by side along a beach barely a kilometer long.
