GOLF CHALLENGE
Golf balls are the reason to make the trip. This is one of the bigger golf outlets in Pattaya, with brands stacked across clothing, shoes, putters and accessories, and prices that most shoppers reckon are fair. The sale sections are worth a slow browse, since that's where the real value tends to sit.
Two warnings before you go. Left-handed gear is basically absent, so southpaws should plan on buying elsewhere or bringing their own sticks. And larger clothing sizes are thin on the ground, which catches out plenty of visiting golfers. The club range is patchier than the balls and apparel too. Service splits opinion: some shoppers get help, others describe staff who couldn't be less interested in a browser. Go in knowing what you want and you'll do fine.
If you're playing one of the courses around Chon Buri and need to restock, it's an easy stop with a full day of opening hours behind it.

Reviews from Google
Large golf outlet store with many different brands to choose from and decent prices.
Golf selection of everything golf. But no large clothes available. Some items were on sale, making them affordable. Need to get the pin in your phone so drivers can find it.
Not much choice of products and staff were not bothered to ask if they could ?? Quite rude

You'll leave covered in mud, elephant saliva and probably worse, and that's the whole point.
Pattaya Walking Street
Loud, neon, adults-only after dark, and the seafood is easier before the 9pm crush.
The Sanctuary of Truth Museum
A hand-carved wooden giant still under construction, and watching the carpenters work is half the point.
Nongnooch Pattaya Garden
Half a day minimum, 500 acres of themed gardens and dinosaurs, and you'll want to be there by 8am.

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.
