The documented area contrast
DASTA places Jomtien south of central Pattaya and describes it as having fewer nightlife venues than Pattaya Beach. Pattaya City describes Pattaya Beach as adjoining a dense strip of hotels, shops, restaurants and nightlife.
Those statements support a comparison of broad setting. They do not create a universal winner or show how every block feels at every hour.
Choose by the setting you need
Use the official descriptions to decide which broad surroundings better match the trip. Jomtien’s supported distinction is relative—fewer nightlife venues—while Pattaya Beach’s supported distinction is dense urban frontage.
Then compare the exact address with the places the trip must reach. The area-level claims do not establish the convenience of any individual hotel or building.
Do not translate fewer venues into always quiet
Neither source supplies current noise measurements, live crowd counts or a block-by-block venue inventory. “Fewer nightlife venues” is not evidence that every Jomtien location is quiet.
Likewise, dense frontage does not prove that every Pattaya Beach location has identical noise or activity. A more precise claim needs current evidence for the exact place and criterion.
Swimming quality is a separate question
The cited materials describe location and surrounding land use. They do not compare water quality, sea conditions or swimming suitability between the beaches.
Keep any swimming decision separate and use current, beach-specific evidence. Do not turn a nightlife or urban-density description into a water-safety verdict.
