Pattaya Bikini Beach Race 2026
The Pattaya Bikini Beach Race brings runners together for a 5 km event along Pattaya Beach. Starting and finishing in front of Central Pattaya, the race pairs a seaside route with music, entertainment and the energy of the beachfront.
A Beach Run with a Difference
Run beside the sea as the afternoon light gives way to evening. Whether you’re aiming for a fast finish or joining in just for the fun, the race offers a memorable way to enjoy Pattaya’s waterfront with other runners from Thailand and around the world.
The celebration continues beyond the course, with music and entertainment adding to the atmosphere on the beach. It is as much a chance to share a festive moment by the sea as it is a chance to run 5 km.

Where to Stay for the Bikini Beach Race
Whether you run as a couple, with family or with a group of friends, the race is more fun when everyone stays together. A private pool villa gives everyone their own room, a pool to cool off after the run and plenty of space to keep the good vibes going into the night.
PATTAYA LAND offers a selection of private pool villas in Soi Pattaya Land, near Walking Street and a few minutes from Pattaya Beach, with different capacities to suit couples, families and groups of friends. For larger groups and running clubs, several nearby villas may be booked together, subject to availability.
