Due to the extreme conditions of driving in Pattaya, it's best you pick a small or company car. Smaller cars are easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, which you'll find on small side streets. Navigating through highly congested traffic jams in a smaller car is also easier, as smaller cars are lighter for the stop-start nature of heavy traffic. Small cars are also easier on fuel consumption in traffic than bigger cars, which will come in handy if you are travelling on a budget.

When driving your car hire in Pattaya, it might seem like there are no official speed limits, but this is untrue. It's best for you to follow the rules of the roads no matter what other drivers are doing around you, to avoid getting traffic fines. When driving in all major cities, including Pattaya, most roads are 60 km/h. Driving on open roads further from the city centre means reaching speeds of 90 km/h, and you'll be able to reach 120 km/h on motorways and highways.

Parking on the street in Pattaya can be tricky, as parking zones are not often marked; however, there is a fair amount of street parking available. If you see a parking attendant, they will usually let you know how much parking will be for that stop and for how long you can park there, but typically the on-street parking is free. Heading to a car park might be a bit less daunting. There is a multi-storey car park right in the heart of the Bali Hai area, and there are two car parks at Bali Hai pier.
