Scooter & car rental in Soi Buakhao
The busy inland strip at Pattaya’s centre — a major budget and long-stay hub, with markets and many rental shops.
Soi Buakhao runs inland through the middle of Pattaya, parallel to the beach roads. It has become one of the city’s main budget and long-stay hubs — lined with guesthouses, markets, bars and a high concentration of small rental shops.
That density means real choice and competitive daily rates — and, as everywhere with a lot of small operators, a wide spread in how shops treat renters. It is a prime area to apply the pickup checklist carefully and to compare deposits, not just headline rates.
Soi Buakhao itself is busy and narrow, with constant scooter and pedestrian traffic, especially around the markets. Ride it slowly.
