Good Thai food in Pattaya

[Cennn3 0]

What are good places to eat Thai food in Pattaya? I tend to eat off the street a bit for snacks here and there.If I am out in the day I may go to The Pink Kitchen in BigC festival centre it serves some nice Thai food there in comfortable surroundings and fairly cheap. I also like Kiss restaurant opposite Mikes Shopping Mall on 2nd road, you can get good cheap Thai food here and I believe it is open 24 hrs a day(please correct me if I am wrong) there is also another Kiss place down the end of second road by the dolphin roundabout which is also good. Another nice sit down place is on Soi Arunothai opposite Carrefour, sorry cannot remember the name but it is opposite the school and is very cheap and has good selection of food Thai and western. Also the food halls in Carrefour and Tops are good value if you are on a budget.

In the festival Market (opposite soi 2)? there is a thai restaurant where the waitress brings you a menu of items to pick from, along with a bunson burner and pot of water. You order your favorites from the list and combine them into the boiling water to make a soup of some kind. My first experience with this type of dining was last June. Only problem is TG was putting all kinds of crawlies in there, while I mostly favored the meats. Still, a nice experience. Only other "Thai" food I remember in a nice restaurant is the business across the street from Sabaii Inn. Can't remember the name, but it seemed very authentic and was tasty. Price was reasonable. TGs love it. I hear th PIK Kitchen is really nice, but very expensive.

My fave for real local spicy Thai food is always the Theppressit Market, next to the outlet malls. Ok, it's out of the way for most people, but well worth going -- especially on the weekends when it is really really big.

I like the Hot Pot in the TukCom Centre, the one where you make your own soup kinda thing.

 

Cheap too.

 

Don't have the tea tho'...tastes like an OAP's boiled, yellow, horny toenail clippings.

Festival Centre or more popular name "BigC" (but there's one more BigC now - in south Pattaya - so a little bit unclear).

 

Sure it was a burner a not electrical - else sounds like MK.

 

There's one more thai restaurant where rarely farangs eat, I don't even know if it has a name, to the left of Fuji if you're looking out on 2nd Rd.

 

Opposite Sabai Inn?? Maybe Salathai Restaurant which is an other member of the Sabai Group and where you eat breakfast if you have that included in your room price in Sabai Lodge.

i reckon the best thai/chinese restaurant in pattaya is the leng kee, which is situated on pattaya klang at the corner of soi buakhou, open 24 hours a day, massive menu. can eat inside in aircon or outside al fresco.

not expensive.

Are there any places in Pattaya where wealthy Thais would go for Thai food ?? Everything mentioned so far seems aimed at western tourists.

As far as I know the PIK Kitchen is authentic, traditional and rather costly. ( have to take off your shoes and everything)! lol. If you go, please let us (me) know what it's like.

I'll vouch for the PIC Kitchen. I had dinner there on my first trip and thought it was outstanding. Beautiful Ayuttaya-style decor, excellent service and very, very good food. Yes, it's expensive by LOS standards, but I've spent as much on an appetizer in Los Angeles as the entire meal cost me at PIC. I'd go back there in an instant. (It's also where I learned of the curative qualities of fresh cucumber as a way to kill the heat from the spicy food.)

 

As far as other places I like, I'm partial to Marine Seafood adjacent to Marine Plaza -- it's popular with the BG'and that's almost always where we have dinner when I ask them to pick. I've also enjoyed Vientiane (sp?) and have had some really good meals there. My usual rule-of-them is to let the girls pick where to eat and ask them to order.

I learned this very quickly when I was working in Korea.

Have you tried the Thai-Thai place just outside the Big C? Good Thai food- many different choices on the menu, descent prices. Best of all, after you eat, you can stroll across the soi to the Sabai Room!

Going down Beach Road in Jomtiem drive as far as you can go and when the road turns left stop and park there is a Thai restaurant on the beach at the turn they serve good food. When I've been in there it's almost all Thai families eating. Reasonable prices.

Cucumber's good but I don't like cucumbers and vice-versa. Ordinary rice is pretty good, actually. Almost any fruit is very helpful, particularly pineapple but also banana.

Both my girlfriend and I think the best Thai food we've had in Pattaya is at Stardice. This place is on Beach Road just North of Central Pattaya Road. The atmosphere is quite good. Service is impeccable and the food is a notch above everywhere else we've eaten at. There's one dish in particular that's a fruit salad. The apples in it are quite spicy. There is at least one other dish that employs apples in this manner.

The Vientiene on Walking Street has good food that is reasonably priced for the location.

 

Pink Lady on Beach Road just north of Soi 7 isn't bad as well.

 

The thai cafeteria in Big C on Second Road has good food and you'll see mostly thai families eating there. Can never remember or pronounce the name of the place, but it's the closest entrance to Pizza Hut when you are outside.

 

My new favorite is Numchai on Soi Bhuakow. Not pretentious in the least bit with metal tables and plastic chairs, but good thai food at reasonable prices. It's across from the market and just south of the "s" curve as I recall.

Did they change locations? When I walked by the location where I had eaten previously, back in May, the entire area from the beginning of Walking St on back to where the eating area was located had been gutted.
