Food in Pattaya is for every taste and budget, so that both the most spoiled and any budget tourist will be satisfied and full.
Options - the sea: expensive fashionable restaurants, small cozy cafes, cheap canteens, Thai catering in the manner of our McDonald's, a buffet in hotels and hostels, national cuisines of the world, Internet cafes, bars, pubs, and so on. Prices are very different, it will not be difficult to find where to eat tasty and inexpensive in Pattaya!
National cuisines of the world
The most popular food in Pattaya is, of course, Thai. Many national Thai dishes are very tasty: be sure to try Tom Kha and Tom Yum, Massaman Curry, green papaya and mango salads, Pad Thai, fried rice with egg and vegetables, roti and Thai specialty fried ice cream. If you like extreme sports, then don't pass by Thai markets where you can buy grilled shrimp, fried grasshoppers, cockroaches and caterpillars. However, Pattaya is full of restaurants with other national cuisines that are more familiar to Russian tourists: European, American, and Russian too.
Russian cafes
Pattaya has a huge number of Russian cafes and restaurants with national Russian cuisine and menus in Russian. In addition, there are cafes with cuisine from countries from the post-Soviet space: Ukrainian and Belarusian cuisine, Uzbek, Armenian and Georgian restaurants.
European cafes
European cuisine is widely represented in Pattaya due to Europeans permanently residing here, who keep cafes and small hotels: you can find not only English, French, German and Italian restaurants, but also many other European countries.
American cafes
Asian restaurants
First of all, Asian cuisine, based on the flow of tourists, is represented in large numbers by Chinese, Korean and Japanese restaurants.
Indian restaurants
In Pattaya there is a huge number of Indian cafes and restaurants for every taste and budget, as the citizens of India from year to year are among the top ten in the direction of tourists to Thailand.
Thai catering
Cafes and restaurants for locals are very popular in Thailand. Thais rarely cook at home, they either bring home ready-made, purchased food, or immediately eat in a cafe. Such restaurants can be found anywhere: in the center of Pattaya, on Jomtien, in the Pratumnak area. Their food is very tasty and inexpensive. The only thing to consider is that Thais are very fond of spicy food! If you are not a fan of pepper and all kinds of seasonings, immediately inform the waiter about it.
Buffet
The buffet culture in Pattaya is developed in itself. Many tourists eat right in their hotels and hostels, which have a buffet. The so-called Thai unlimited cafe-buffets are a place where for a small amount (200-400 baht) you can sit from opening to closing and eat whatever you want and as much as you like. Many cafes and restaurants spend "unlimited" days in their establishments. Also in Pattaya there is a cafe where you can cook on your own, having previously paid the same small amount for the opportunity to take food.
Seafood restaurants
Seafood restaurants are one of the most frequent establishments in Pattaya, because the resort is located on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand, next to the ocean, there is a huge amount of fish and seafood here. Here you can try crabs and shrimps, dozens of fish species and even real sharks! The goods in such restaurants are the freshest, so that the tourist certainly does not doubt this, often you can choose food for yourself directly from the aquarium, and then also watch how it is prepared.
Restaurants with a beautiful view
Pattaya has a huge number of restaurants that are located on the roofs of hotels, high-rise buildings or simply on the seashore. It is from these bars and cafes that the best panoramic views of the sea and the city open up - here you can dine to the sound of the sea or dine while watching the evening sunset.
Beer restaurants
Nightlife is very developed in Pattaya - beer restaurants, bars, pubs and other similar establishments are actively working here at night. The emphasis here is on the alcohol menu, dance music and entertainment like billiards.
Unusual and interesting restaurants
There are a lot of beautiful and non-standard restaurants in Pattaya: with an unusual design, decoration and idea ... Here are some interesting options:
- Telephone bar (entrance through the "London" telephone booth);
- Hajime Robot Restaurant (the main feature is a robot waiter);
- -5 Ice Bar (a bar made entirely of ice);

As soon as I found out that there is a cat cafe in Phuket, I immediately realized that we would definitely go there. When traveling, we get so lonely without our kitty, sometimes we just want to cuddle someone. A couple of times we even tried to buy a rabbit, a hamster or a flying squirrel here. But the mind overrode the call of the heart and said that you need to think first of all about the animal, and not about your desires, since when moving to another country you will have to let the animal go outside or attach it somewhere.
Today we visited Cat Cafe in Phuket Town. The cat cafe is an ocean of positive. The smile never left my face during the two hours we spent in it.
Cat: "Come to see me?" Katya: “Well, yes, I love you cats so much”
Rules at the cat cafe
When entering, you need to carefully read the numerous rules of conduct in a cat cafe. Here are the main ones:
- You can't wake up cats and force them to play.
- Do not feed human food.
- Do not touch cats when they are eating.
- Cats are not to be picked up unless they jump on their own. This rule, in my opinion, is the most severe. Because these fluffies so want to be picked up and hugged.
- Be sure to wash your hands when entering the hall and after using the toilet.
- You can take pictures, but only without a flash.
The fine for non-compliance with the rules is 1000 baht.
Conditions for visiting the cafe
- You must order drinks and at least one dessert for two.
- Before entering the room where the cats live, you will be given a drop of antibacterial gel on your hands to stroke the animals with clean hands. Taking care of pets first.
- You must change your shoes for the suggested flip flops or slippers.
Slava took coffee, and I ordered a strawberry smoothie and a piece of cake. All the pleasure cost us 280 baht. This is considered an unspoken fee for entering the cafe, since you don’t need to pay anything extra. You can stay in the cafe for an unlimited time.
They brought me a barrel of smoothies, and Slava got a tiny coffee for two sips.
Welcome to cat heaven
The atmosphere in the cafe exudes comfort and warmth. The hall is small, only 3-4 tables, air conditioners maintain a comfortable temperature. The music is playing softly. And the visitors, of which there were only three people, crawl on the floor and get acquainted with the cats.
Here I am crawling to be closer to the heroes of the day 
We were doing the same. I spent most of the time on the floor, talking, touching and stroking these adorables.
There are about 15-20 cats in the cafe. Most of them are exotic. These are such kitties with an interesting eye shape and a flattened nose. They have a unique look. Now, in addition to the Scottish Fold, exotics have become another of my favorite breeds.
And this is my favorite. She herself came to me on the sofa and began to show signs of attention 
In addition to exotic cats, folds and British live here.
Where can I order a transfer from the airport?
We use the service - KiwiTaxi
Ordered a taxi online, paid by card. We were greeted at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You have already talked about your experience in this article.
There is even one hefty Maine Coon. But he did not indulge us with his communication and hung for all the time on the top shelf under the ceiling.

All the cats in the cat cafe are plump and relaxed. They lead a measured life.
The Duchess is in her chambers. Please do not disturb without an important reason
Almost everyone allows themselves to be stroked, and some even allow them to play with them. It can be seen that they feel good here, that they are warm and under supervision, that they are looked after, combed and fed well.
Time flew by unnoticed. I didn't want to say goodbye to cats. In two hours, I became so attached to them, as if I were leaving my good friend which I won't be seeing anytime soon.
Be happy! my dear friend
Before we left, the hostess arrived. She sat down on the floor and began to feed the cats some delicacy. All the cats immediately ran to her, stood up on their hind legs, licking the contents from the tube. It was very funny to watch them.

Come to the cat cafe for such simple joys and sincere emotions.
I love to smile like this, for real

Go to the end of the street, turn left, cross the road and another 100 meters straight to the cafe.

Did I dream that a cat cafe would ever open in Pattaya? Yes! Because what could be better than cats, only a lot of cats!
I constantly think about where else to go with children in Pattaya, but here such luck!
On Wellcome Town Street, literally through the wall from children's room Kids Castle, opened a cat cafe. (Cat Cafe)
Cozy, beautifully furnished, cool place with a bunch of caudates. Do I recommend going there with children if you are in Pattaya?
A thousand times yes!!!
Entertainment for children in Pattaya
The cat cafe is certainly entertainment not only for children, but also for adults.
The format of a cat cafe - guests come to a cafe where there are a lot of cats and you can stroke them, take pictures and drink coffee with a cake in between,
widespread in Asia and enjoying success.
It is understandable, Asians do not have enough communication with four-legged people, because almost all condos (90 percent) do not allow pets.
If you want to get a dog or a cat, buy a house.
And you also need to look after, feed, water, heal, walk, and so on. it’s much easier to come as a “Sunday” dad to visit the fluffies and squeeze
for some time ahead, so that the itch to urgently get the cat slept for a while.
This cat cafe in Pattaya is the most loyal of those that I came across in Asia.
It is not only allowed to touch animals (if they wish), but they serve not only cakes, but also normal food.
Most often, in a cafe with cats, you can’t eat (only a light snack), you can’t touch - just look, at photographing, at the entrance with small children
also vetoed.
In this cat cafe, of course, there are rules. They are seemingly strict, but in reality they only call for order, they will probably fine and expel
only not at all adequate visitors.
What can you do in a cat cafe in Pattaya?
You can take pictures without a flash, stroke the cat you like, order food from the menu and enjoy!
To play with cats, there are toys that you can take. Dasha ran after the cats in order to play, while her emotions overwhelmed her and my child behaved quite loudly. The cafe staff didn't care.
Then Dasha decided to pretend to be a worm, about which she informed everyone present.
The cats, meanwhile, lived their own lives:
Drank water:
Run away from persistent visitors.
What kind of cats are there in a cat cafe in Pattaya?
People! I am not strong in cat breeds and from what I saw, I probably recognized only the sphinx. And that's because
he is bald.
The bald sphinx, by the way, was the most playful ringleader and pestered all the cats, and in general it turned out that it was a girl.
At the end of our stay, she was even moved to another room so that other cats would rest from her pressure.
What surprised me about Cat Cafe?
Doesn't stink. That is, not only does it not stink, but there is no smell at all. Neither good nor bad.
How they did it, I don't know, to be honest.
That is, there are cats, a kitchen, a coffee shop, but there is no smell !!!
The cats are all clean, well-groomed, very, very decent and well-mannered.
You can safely go there even with kids, my concern that one of the cats might injure Dasha or bite her (the cat had already scratched her eyelid) dissipated after the first 5 minutes of stay.
Cats, like real egoists, are absorbed only in themselves and own desires. Sybarites in general.
They will come up to you if you have food on the table or sniff a can of cola, otherwise they play among themselves, rush
up the stairs and happily lie down to rest in bed.
The cats surprised me. They look relaxed and contented with life. At the same time, they don’t let me touch myself, a couple of times
lucky to hold some on the handles, but they did not enjoy, no, they just played their feline role of pseudo-hospitable hosts.
Cats are allowed in this cafe. They walk on tables, they can chew your food, jump on the bar and shed profusely.
At the same time, in a cafe with cats in Pattaya - crystal clear.
High-quality and expensive materials are used for the interior, this is obvious. around wood paneling, scratching posts for cats, expensive toys - beds, rattles and more.
For those who already have cats, we offer a range of cat care.
The staff seemed somewhat aloof. No emotions - no smiles, but there was no negativity either. I would say that the service is so-so, if not for the hospitable hostess, who asked us how much we liked, and if we would come back, thereby endearing us.
Of course, we will return, especially since we forgot a very valuable Dasha drinker there)))
Opening hours of the cat cafe in Pattaya and its address
It is written that the cat cafe (Cat Cafe) opens at 11 am. Don't believe. It opens later.
We were in the nearby Kids Castle and moved from it to the cat cafe around 12 in the morning.
Closes at 21:00.
How to find?
driving directions to wiggle town - kids castle
The address is the same as the children's room Kids Castle in Pattaya(former wiggle town).
The cat cafe is located in the Welkom Town lane on the main street (it is called so) about 200 meters from Sukhumvit.
I do not like to get there, because in this area there are always traffic jams. Count on this if you are going to the cats or the children's room, especially on weekends.
How to save money on a hotel or apartment on vacation?
I'm looking on the Rumguru website. It contains absolutely all discounts on hotels and apartments from 30 booking systems, including booking. Often I find very profitable options, it turns out to save from 30 to 80%
How to save on insurance?
You need insurance abroad. Any admission is very expensive and the only way not to pay out of pocket is to choose an insurance policy in advance. For many years we have been making out on the site that give the best prices It takes only a couple of minutes for insurance and selection along with registration.
