Pattaya Day 1: Pattaya Night Bazaar

(18/12/2016) With a two hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, we landed in Pattaya. It would be home for 11 of us for the next 3 days.  The word 'Pattaya' and 'Entertainment' are words that go hand in hand. With hundreds of beer bars, massage parlors and clubs, this city only lives at night. We decided to ditch the comfort of staying in an airbnb and opt for a budget hotel nearer to the beach. Located at Soi 8, Beach Road, Sunshine Hotel & Residences is the perfect choice. With 7eleven right in front of the doorsteps, bars on left and right, we are totally in the center of everything.

Comfortably fit 2

 

Basic amenities

 

Toilet area

 

After freshen up, we headed straight for food since it was about 7 o'clock in the evening when we reached. On our walk, we filled our growling tummy with some delicious kebab selling in food cart by the roadside.

 

The kebab is too good that we had it everyday

 

We had our early dinner at a Chinese restaurant. The food is great and so is the pricing. Too bad that I do not remember the restaurant name. After dinner, we travelled on foot to Pattaya Night Bazaar which is directly opposite CentralFestival Pattaya Beach, Asia's largest beachfront shopping mall. It is air-conditioned. In other words, it is an atas night market. There are stalls selling fake jerseys, sport shoes, backpacks, bags etc. DIY lovers would love coming here for the hand-made souvenirs.

 

Accessories like necklaces, bangles, earrings are cheap

 

 

Nike. Adidas to brands like MCM, Gucci

They have it all

 

Cute travel suitcase for those that over buying souvenirs to bring back

 

Right after the night market, we entered CentralFestival mall to buy our next day breakfast. Food from the Central Court is all good. Fruits are very pricey with an apple cost THB 300, imported grapes, strawberry and many more. Totally worth checking out. This ends our day 1 in Pattaya. Follow closely for day 2.
