Best Restaurants in Pattaya

Pattaya food works best when you mix one or two real Thai everyday stops with one more polished dinner if that fits the trip. The city has enough hotel and rooftop dining to make every meal expensive and generic, but it also has useful noodle, seafood, and Thai-casual options that say more about the place than another international resort buffet.

Moderate
Greater Pattaya / Chon Buri side

One of the stronger Pattaya-area seafood and Thai picks if you want a meal that feels more grounded than the most generic beachfront tourist menus.
