Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This is a roundabout with a dolphin sculpture in the middle, at a busy intersection in the center of Pattaya. People used to meet here. Now they say, "We'll meet at Terminal 21," which is directly opposite. This change pretty much tells you everything you need to know. I wouldn't plan to spend a whole afternoon here, though.

What makes this place so worth seeing is its location. Across the street is Terminal 21, a huge, airport-style shopping mall where each floor is dedicated to a different city. The Japanese food court is surrounded by cherry blossoms and Japanese shops, and London, Paris, San Francisco, and Rome are also represented in the rest of the building. Even the restrooms are a highlight. Street vendors and craft stalls line the streets around the roundabout—another good reason to explore on foot. Think of the dolphin as a landmark to pass by, not as something to photograph and then leave.
