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

Go eat! That's the perfect description of Pattaya's largest night market, where hundreds of stalls offer affordable fashion, cosmetics, accessories, and souvenirs. But the real draw is the food, which attracts crowds every evening. Fresh grilled seafood, pad thai, grilled meats, noodles, curries, and a wide variety of Thai sweets, including mango sticky rice, are all on offer. Visitors agree: the desserts and snacks rarely disappoint, while the hot, savory dishes vary considerably from stall to stall. Check out what's currently being grilled before you fill your plate.

The market is completely covered and significantly cleaner than most street markets, which is especially noticeable when it's crowded and noisy. Most dishes cost between 40 and 150 baht, which is lower than in Jomtien. However, prices aren't fixed, and the same pork might cost 100 baht one evening and 150 baht the next. It's best to ask beforehand. If you're mainly there for the clothes, don't get your hopes up too high.

The market is now open every evening, but it's extremely busy on weekends. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, all the stalls are full, while on weekdays it's significantly less crowded. It's located on Thepprasit Road in South Pattaya, towards Sukhumvit Road, behind the Pattaya Outlet Mall. Since it's not near any baht bus stops, the easiest way to get there and back is by Bolt bus or motorbike taxi.
