DIANA
Soi Diana is a roughly 375-metre connector between Second Road and Soi Buakhao, meeting the LK Metro end of the central bar grid. Twenty June 2026 records fit into one walkable line, but the roster mixes an umbrella beer-garden complex with its named bars.

// 01 — THE SHAPE
THE USEFUL MIDDLE GEAR
Soi Diana exists because of what it connects. At the east end, Soi Buakhao provides transport, budget bars and the link toward Tree Town. Near the same side, LK Metro offers a denser late-night circuit. At the west end, Second Road carries the northbound baht-bus flow and the short connection toward the numbered Soi 13 grid.
The street itself is more than a shortcut. The June roster includes open bars, a showbar, pool and sports rooms, bar-restaurants, a lounge and Las Vegas Beer Garden. That mix supports an easy first drink, dinner, a full evening around one complex, or a final pause between larger zones.
Las Vegas Beer Garden needs careful counting. It is one named complex and the same source also lists several of its internal bars separately, including Aces High, Full House, MGN, Palace, The V and Viva. Those are not cross-zone duplicates: they are independently named plots inside the Diana complex, all owned by this one roster.
The route is short enough to inspect before committing. Walk from one end to the other, notice which rooms match the desired pace, then decide whether the next move is LK Metro, Soi Buakhao or Second Road. Diana's strength is optionality without a long detour.

SOI DIANA, HOUR BY HOUR
18:00
THE OPERATOR WINDOW
Las Vegas Beer Garden's dated operator page starts every internal bar at 18:00. A current directory still says 16:00, so use 18:00 for planning and confirm on the day.
18:00
FULL CONNECTOR
Papagayo and other evening rooms join the open bars. This is the most legible hour for a complete walk from Second Road to the Buakhao end.
21:00
THE CHOICE POINT
Stay with Diana's beer-garden and live-music format, turn into LK Metro for denser rooms, or use Soi Buakhao for a longer budget-led night.
02:00
HANDOFF TIME
Several explicit roster times end around 02:00, although individual listings differ. Use the named neighbouring zone for any planned continuation.
// 03 — THE MAP
ONE STREET, THREE HANDOFFS
DIANA'S OWN BARS
Papagayo, Area 51, The Nest, Harry's, Heart Beat, Pocket Kings and the independent bars form the connector's own identity.
LAS VEGAS BEER GARDEN
A named open-air complex with live music and several separately named internal bars. The umbrella and plots stay together in this roster.
BUAKHAO & LK METRO
The dense handoff: Soi Buakhao for the long budget street, LK Metro for the compact late circuit.
// 04 — THE ROUTE
WALK ONCE, THEN CHOOSE
From Second Road, enter the soi and keep the first pass observational. The direct walk is short, but the street contains multiple formats and the busiest rooms can change by hour. Reach the Buakhao end before deciding whether to stay, turn into LK Metro or continue along the larger road.
From Soi Buakhao, reverse the route. Diana works well as a bridge to Second Road because it avoids a long indirect loop. If Las Vegas Beer Garden is the destination, treat the internal bars as one complex visit rather than counting each plot as a separate cross-city stop.
Soi Diana is active traffic space, not a pedestrian-only lane. Pattaya City introduced one-way traffic here on 21 May 2024, but visitors should still look both ways for turning vehicles and motorbikes. Keep phones away from the road edge and settle the bill before changing venues.
The twenty-name roster is a June 2026 snapshot. Some current listings provide richer hours or promotions, but the page does not assume those details apply across the whole street. Verify the chosen door, especially if food, live music or a particular late closing time is essential.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
№ 01
Connector first
The street's value is the direct line between Second Road, Soi Buakhao and LK Metro. Decide which end the night should finish at.
№ 02
Complex counting
Las Vegas Beer Garden and several named bars inside it are listed separately. They all stay on this Soi Diana page and are not repeated in other areas.
№ 03
Price convention
There is no street-wide menu. Promotions belong to individual bars or the beer-garden operator; confirm the current price before ordering.
№ 04
Pressure
Open bars and the beer garden are easy to inspect. Show-led or lounge formats may use different drink arrangements, so ask before settling in.
№ 05
Snapshot rule
The records were listed as open in June 2026. Current hours, lineups and promotions should be checked at the chosen venue.

Sources disagree — Las Vegas Beer Garden opening time
Las Vegas Beer Garden says its operator page says every internal bar opens daily at 18:00 (5 April 2026). Cheers Pattaya says its current directory listing says Open 4pm.
Editorial lead: Las Vegas Beer Garden. The dated first-party schedule is the strongest evidence for the complex's own operating hours.
Sources disagree — Las Vegas Beer Garden internal roster and counting
Las Vegas Beer Garden says its April 2026 roster places Black Jack at position 9, KQ at position 10 and Pocket Kings across positions 1 and 2 (5 April 2026). June street-roster snapshot says it counts Pocket Kings as one venue record and omits Black Jack and KQ from its named internal-bar examples (20 June 2026).
Editorial lead: Las Vegas Beer Garden. The two sources count different units: physical bar positions inside the complex versus distinct venue records across the street.
What we could not confirm: Current exact prices at every internal bar — The operator's bars and drinks pages were re-opened on 29 July 2026. They still say the ten bars have different selections and publish no item prices, so no complex-wide or bar-by-bar price table can be established. A one-to-one reconciliation between the operator's internal bar positions and every venue record in the June street roster — The operator's bars and map pages were re-opened on 29 July 2026. They still describe ten physical positions while Pocket Kings spans two positions under one identity; no source reconciles those positions one-to-one with the broader June street roster.
