Food Scene

There’s not much to the décor or atmosphere here, but this Thai-style seaside restaurant whips up some of the tastiest seafood in town. Walk through the aquarium section at the entrance and the restaurant opens out to the ocean, with a terrace jutting out over the water. Don’t miss the signature dishes, including chili salt mantis shrimp, baked scallops and blue crab som tam. Most of the diners are Thai – a good indicator of truly Thai tastes.

The Glass House is generally agreed to be one of the best restaurants in Pattaya, let alone one of the best local places. It is slightly more costly than the average price, which makes it more of a special occasion place for many, but it remains consistently busy night after night – booking in advance is an absolute must! Assuming you get a seat, it will be either on the deck by the eponymous glass house or right on the beach. You’ll also find a menu with sublime Thai seafood as well as some international dishes and homemade cakes. The average price per dish is about 200 – 500 baht, making it still impressively affordable by international standards. Opening Hours: 11:00 – 24:00 Location: 5/2

Drinks & Nightlife

GAY NIGHTLIFE IN SOI PATTAYALAND PATTAYA BEACH Pattaya Beach ensures muscle boys, bikers and toy boys are kept happy. Gay bars and A Go-Go joints are centred around the aptly named Boyz Town (Soi Pattayaland 1 & 3). Highlights along these busy, noisy, neon-lit streets include Throb/Splash (325 Pattayaland 3), featuring a fish tank in which well-toned guys glide and dive gracefully through the water in very tight pants. Sunee Plaza is just off the strip, quieter and more private.

Most of the nightlife action geared towards tourists is found in Walking Street, with the densest concentration of bars, massage parlours and discos along the famous neon-drenched strip stretching from Soi 13 to 16. Unique and unruly, it's shut off to traffic during the evening, with raunchy shows, bar games, competing stereos and lots of booze all combining forces to make one huge party zone.

PUBBING AND CLUBBING ALONG PATTAYA BEACH ROAD If naughty nightlife is just not you, try some traditional entertainment at one of the many pubs about town. For lively live music and dancing, hit Pattaya's enduring disco scene. The music is mostly rowdy US hip hop and Thai pop anthems at ear-shattering volumes. A few venues with hip modern interiors and names like Club Insomnia or Lucifer Disko TK are even sometimes sophisticated. Best time to go: after 21:00
