Jomtien^[a] (จอมเทียน, RTGS: Chom Thian, pronounced [tɕɔ̄ːm tʰīan]) or Jomtien Beach (หาดจอมเทียน, RTGS: Hat Chom Thian, pronounced [hàːt tɕɔ̄ːm tʰīan]) is a town on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand about 165 km south-east of Bangkok in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. It is about 3 km south of Pattaya and is home to high-rise condominiums, beach side hotels, beaches, and restaurants.

The town

Jomtien has experienced a construction boom in the past several years, with many new condominiums and housing developments built in the area. Jomtien has become very popular with Bangkok residents seeking a second home, as well as with foreign retirees.

Jomtien Complex is an important real estate development located a block from the beach, and includes a large group of shophouses, restaurants, bars and stores. A recent trend has been the opening of many upscale restaurants along Thappraya Road, the main thoroughfare connecting Pattaya and Jomtien. In addition, Second Road (running parallel to Beach Road about 400 meters inland), was completed in the last few years and now features many new developments. Jomtien Market, located adjacent to another complex of about 60+ open-air bars, is now another focal point for beach-goers.

A large number of Russian and Scandinavian nationals visit or live in the area. In particular there are 2 large Norwegian colonies, called Nordic and New Nordic on the Phra Tamnak Hill.
