Pattaya becomes a Smart City: Digital revolution for tourists and citizens!

A lot is happening in Pattaya: The mayor met on November 27, 2025Poramet Ngampichetwith his team to visit the media representatives of Thai Rath TV. The aim was to strengthen the relationship and discuss communication strategies. The latest project was “Pattaya Connect“ in the spotlight, a digital platform that aims to connect citizens, government and tourists.

Pattaya Connect brings a number of exciting features. This includes, among other things, a real-time security system that uses live images from over 400 CCTV cameras - ideal for traffic control and security surveillance. An online appointment booking system for hospitals also ensures that waiting times for patients are reduced. In addition, citizens and tourists can conveniently pay their taxes online or report problems using the city administration's mobile e-service offering - from power outages to road damage.

Advanced infrastructure and technology

However, digital transformation goes far beyond “Pattaya Connect”. In collaboration with National Telecom andHuaweiThailandPattaya will be transformed into a true smart city. This collaboration aims to optimize city management, promote tourism and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.

As part of this comprehensive project, 5G Smart Poles are planned, which will offer numerous innovative services: from smart lighting systems to improve night-time safety to free Wi-Fi access and emergency communication infrastructure. This means citizens can easily access real-time information and receive support more quickly and efficiently in emergencies.

Preparing for the peak tourism season

Pattaya is also preparing for the upcoming peak season, when over 20 million tourists are expected. At the meeting, the mayor reported on the significant positive impact that large events have on the local economy. Last year's countdown event brought more than 5 billion THB into the coffers of stores and service providers.

To ensure this tourist attractiveness, numerous infrastructure projects are being implemented. This includes the rehabilitation of streets and promenades and the construction of a 5.3km underground drainage tunnel to manage long-term flooding risks.

All of this shows that Pattaya is on a great path. With state-of-the-art technology, well-thought-out infrastructure and a clear focus on the needs of residents and tourists, the city could soon be even more attractive and welcoming. These developments are extremely beneficial for property values ​​and the overall quality of life of residents.

As the last few months have shown, Pattaya is becoming a hotspot for tourists and at the same time a model for modern urban development. The early implementation of all these initiatives promises great progress for the entire region. Read more about these developments on Thai Rath, Huawei and Property Connection Thailand.
