How does a VIP table work in Pattaya?
Eight of you, one Saturday night, and you want a table, not a spot at the bar. You book a table against a minimum spend and drink through that amount during the night. Bottles, mixers, ice and a table host are included, and the table is yours until closing. The club sets the spend for each night, and a table by the stage or the DJ costs more.
Book ahead for Fridays, Saturdays and event nights, when the best tables go first; midweek is quieter and easier. Tell us your numbers, and we confirm a table that fits the whole group. Your name goes on the list at the door, and the host walks you to your table.
If your group grows during the night, the host can often add a second table nearby. Agree in advance who signs for extra bottles, so the bill is clear at closing time. We confirm every detail in writing before you arrive.
Pattaya suits a weekend more than a single night. Example plan: arrive on Friday afternoon, take a boat on Saturday and spend both evenings at different clubs. A hotel on Beach Road or the hill keeps the drive to the clubs short each night.
The best clubs for a VIP table
Pattaya's main clubs sit on and around Walking Street, with a few big rooms in North Pattaya and on 3rd Street. Each club below was checked open in November 2026. We note the best use of each, so you can choose the right one for your group.
AKIRA, Walking Street Soi 15. The newest big club on the street held its grand opening on 2 January 2026, its own site says. Choose it for the newest room on the street.
Republic. The club's own site says it opens every night from 22:00 until late. It is the pick for a group that wants one loud, late room all night.
The Nashaa Club, Walking Street. It opens daily from 22:00 to 04:00, with entry for guests aged 20 or over with photo ID. Go here for the late hours: it stays open until the 04:00 close.
World House, Pattaya Third Road. The club posts a weekly line-up on its social pages. It is the pick for a big room away from the Walking Street crowds.
Hollywood Pattaya, North Pattaya. It opens daily from 21:00 to 02:00, so book it for a group staying in the north of the city.
Flexx Club, Nongprue. This club sits inland in the Nongprue area of Banglamung, and it suits a group already staying on that side of town.
How much is a VIP table in Pattaya?
It depends on the club, the night and where the table sits, and no club on this list publishes a fixed table price. A table by the stage on a Saturday or a guest-DJ night costs more than a quiet weeknight table. We quote the minimum spend for your club and night before you book.
Some clubs add a service charge and 7% VAT to the bill, shown as '++'. We show every charge in the quote, so nothing surprises you at closing time. For a big group, one person settling the table and splitting later keeps things simple.
Walking Street: where the clubs are
Walking Street is Pattaya's best-known nightlife street, along the bay at the south end of the city. We book your table at a named club, and your car waits at a set point outside it.
The big clubs, such as AKIRA, Republic and The Nashaa Club, sit along the street and its side sois. Your driver drops you at the club door, and the host takes you straight to your table. Groups who want a quieter start often eat on the hill at Phra Tamnak first and arrive after 22:00. Keep your group together and your passport on you, as clubs check ID at the door.
Before the club: rooftops and dinner
Start with a rooftop drink and dinner above the bay, then move to the club after 22:00. Pattaya has several hotel rooftops with wide sea views, each listing its hours on its own site. Book a table by the edge for sunset, and dress smart casual.
Horizon, Hilton Pattaya. The rooftop bar on level 34 serves food from 16:00 to 01:00, the hotel says. Our verdict: for its view across the bay, the best sunset seat in the city.
The Sky 32, Grande Centre Point Pattaya. The rooftop restaurant on the 32nd floor serves dinner from 17:00 to 24:00, with a smart casual dress code.
The Sky Gallery, Phra Tamnak. The restaurant opens from 11:00 to 23:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 at weekends (checked November 2026). It suits a calmer sunset dinner on the hill. See more rooftop bars in Pattaya.
Day tables: beach clubs and a boat
Pattaya's days can be as social as its nights. A beach club day bed or a private boat gives your group a base before the evening. LAY Beach Club on Beach Road opens daily from 11:00, with the bar open until midnight. A private boat day starts from ฿49,000 for 8 hours, up to 16 guests.
Alexa Beach Club opens from 12:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and to 22:00 at weekends. Cave Beach Club sits in Na Jomtien, south of the city. Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya runs a Saturday pool party, with entry for outside guests at ฿500, the hotel says. See our guide to beach clubs in Pattaya.
The boat price includes VAT. Catamarans and motor yachts depend on the boat, and we quote on request. Read about boat days in Pattaya.
Rules: closing time, age and ID
Clubs admit guests aged 20 or over, and staff check ID at the door, so carry your passport. Licensed entertainment venues in Chonburi, including Pattaya, and licensed venues inside hotels may open until 4am. Ordinary bars and restaurants usually close by 2am.
Alcohol sales are banned on five Buddhist holy days, and many clubs close or move events. In 2027 these include Makha Bucha on 21 February and Visakha Bucha on 20 May. Check the date of your weekend against this list before you book a club night.
Dress for the setting: resort wear by day at the beach clubs, then long trousers, closed shoes and a collared shirt at night. LAY Beach Club asks for smart-casual or stylish evening wear after sunset.
Getting there and back
If you land at Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok, our host meets you in the arrivals hall and walks you through. We use the priority lane where your ticket or status allows. A private van with a driver then takes you to Pattaya in about 1 hour 55 minutes (checked November 2026).
U-Tapao airport has few flights but is about 40 minutes from Pattaya by car. The same driver can wait for you each night and take the group home from the club. Our private van service works for any group size.
How we choose
Every club on this page was checked open in November 2026 and holds the right licence. We look at service at the table, sound and how the club treats international groups. No club pays to appear here, and clubs that have closed are left off the list. We recheck the open status of every club every three months.
