Pattaya's food scene runs from 40-baht noodle stalls to breezy rooftop tables. Here's how to eat well at every level.
Street food & night markets
Thepprasit Night Market (weekends) and the Pattaya Night Bazaar are the best places to graze — grilled skewers, pad thai, mango sticky rice and som tam made to order. Cheap, fast and delicious.
Seafood
Head to Jomtien or Bali Hai for fresh catch by the kilo — grilled prawns, steamed fish with lime and chilli, and crab curry with the sea a few steps away.
International
Decades of visitors have left Pattaya with excellent Italian, Indian, Japanese and Middle Eastern kitchens. You're never far from a good pizza or a proper curry.
Malls & food courts
Terminal 21 and Central Pattaya food courts are air-conditioned, budget-friendly and great for fussy groups — pay by card on a shared tab.
Rooftop & fine dining
For a special night, the cliffside and rooftop restaurants around Pratumnak pair Gulf views with a serious kitchen.
