Tucked into flower-filled gardens, Blue Tribes is one of Hat Pattaya’s more laid-back resorts. The best choices are the two-storey thatched wooden bungalows with downstairs living rooms and top-floor bedrooms that offer sea views. Other bungalows are simple and no frills, but they come with balconies and you're just steps from the beach. The attached restaurant is pretty good.
