Food Scene
A very well-established local seafood restaurant, Lungsawai Seafood has been at the very southern end of Jomtien Beach Road for over 30 years now. It has a pleasant rustic style and enjoys a fresh sea breeze and views out over the Gulf of Thailand. Don’t miss the signature dish – Kan Chiang Pu Neung (steamed sea crab sculls dipped in a special homemade sauce). This and the other fantastic local Thai seafood dishes on the menu are all very reasonably priced, in the region of 100 baht per dish.

Moom Aroi is consistently mentioned as one of the best seafood restaurants in Pattaya and thankfully it justifies this lofty reputation with an extensive Thai-inspired seafood menu, ocean front view and live entertainment courtesy of a talented cover band. The restaurant hugs the shore and its long and thin dimensions are under cover but open faced so diners can listen to the lapping of the waves as they feast on fresh crab, lobster, shrimp and fish, prepared in a variety of styles.

Drinks & Nightlife
Pattaya Walking Street is the biggest and busiest party hotspot in the whole of Thailand, with only a couple of the top places in Bangkok beating it for sheer volume and variety. A full kilometre from its high-tech gateway at the Beach Road end to the Bali Hai Plaza end, almost every building along its length is a nightclub, go-go bar, beer bar or restaurant. Each of the side streets – which span from Soi 14 to Soi 16, with a couple of uniquely-named streets in between - is more of the same, making the whole southern end of the city into a warren of nightlife entertainments, with something for practically every taste.

Parks & Nature
Nong Nooch Garden is set in a 2.4sq.km. beautifully landscaped park and can easily make an all-day trip. The entire area is more like a theme park, with daily cultural shows. A leisurely stroll through the botanical park is like taking a journey around the world, through its many famous gardens, whether 17th-century French garden, Stonehenge, or European Renaissance garden. Equally fascinating are species-specific gardens, such as cactus and succulent plants, orchid nurseries, tropical palm gardens, bonsai and topiary garden.

Koh Sak is a tiny horseshoe-shaped island about 10km west of Pattaya, just 600m from Coral Island (Koh Larn). Unlike its much larger neighbour, this idyllic little crescent of land has no permanent settlements, but remains an extremely popular destination for tourists visiting the area because of its gorgeous white sandy beaches.

Arts & Culture
The Sanctuary of Truth is perhaps the most iconic structure in Pattaya. Intricately carved entirely from teak wood, the awe-inspiring 105-metre-tall hall on the headland to the north of Wongamat Beach is a one-of-a-kind structure in the whole world. Neither temple nor palace, despite looking like a hybrid of both, it was commissioned by a local business tycoon to act as a place of appreciation for philosophy, art, culture and faith, without being tied to a single religion.

Shopping
Central Festival Shopping Mall is the flagship shopping destination in Pattaya and is constantly popular with a varied mix of tourists and locals who flock there for the international brand clothing, varied eating options and all-weather entertainment, such as a cinema, bowling and children’s arcade. With a beachfront location and glass-paneled façade, Central Festival feels miles away from the cheap trinkets and polyester ‘Bad Boys Go To Pattaya’ T-shirts found in the stalls surrounding the mall on either side.
