Big C Supercenter South Pattaya
If you're staying in an apartment in South Pattaya and need to fill a fridge, this is where I'd go. It's a full hypermarket, closer to a Walmart Supercenter than a corner shop, with fresh fish, meat and produce at the back, household goods, toiletries and a decent run of imported items alongside the Thai staples. Prices are reasonable across the board, and buying in bulk works out cheaper still.
The layout is spacious and easy to read, so you're not hunting for the rice aisle for twenty minutes, and the checkouts move quickly. Reviewers rate the produce section highly. One flagged the air conditioning being out on their visit, which in Pattaya heat turns a food shop into an ordeal, so if you're sensitive to that go early. Not everyone finds everything they want, mind. It's a big shop, not a specialist one.

Reviews from Google
Big C Supercenter South Pattaya is a convenient spot for shopping, groceries, and daily essentials. The store is spacious, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Prices are reasonable, and there’s a wide variety of products from local goods to imported items. The staff are generally helpful, and the checkout process is smooth. Great for both locals and travelers looking to stock up during their stay in Pattaya.
You can find everything here in bulk at lower prices — it’s great for bigger shopping. The only issue was that the air conditioner was broken the day I went, and it was really hot, but they kept apologizing for it.
This place seems to have fewer things; I didn’t end up buying much 🫣

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
