Jomtien Night Market
Come hungry, and come with people who can't agree on what to eat. The food here is the reason to make the trip: Thai stalls in abundance, but also Indian curry, Mexican, burgers, crepes and churros, with halal and vegetarian options easy to find. Reviewers mention 30 baht smoothies, which tells you roughly what you're in for on price. The shopping side is the usual run of clothes, body care and souvenirs, pleasant enough to browse but not why you're here.
What makes it work is the setting. It sits on Kwan Mueang Road across from Jomtien Beach, so the standard move is to buy something at a stall, cross over, and eat it walking along the water while the sun goes. It's big enough for real choice without being a maze, and the pace is unhurried rather than frantic. Go early in the evening if you'd rather browse before the crowd thickens and still catch some light on the sand.

Reviews from Google
If you’re in Pattaya, you have to check out Jomtien Night Market. It’s perfectly located right across the street from the beach, so you can grab your food and take a sunset stroll along the water. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, making it a great spot to spend the evening. The market has an amazing mix of food stalls along with clothing vendors, souvenirs, and all kinds of fun little oddities you didn’t even know you needed. Whether you’re craving something savory, sweet, or refreshing, you’ll find it here. From grilled seafood and Thai favorites to desserts, fresh juices, and smoothies — the variety feels endless. One of the best parts? The prices are super affordable, so you can try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank. It’s the perfect place to snack, shop, and soak up the local vibe all in one spot. Definitely a must-visit if you’re spending time in Pattaya! 🌴
Best night market I've been to and I have travelled a lot of Thailand. My favourite was the Indian curry station, my partner enjoyed the burger stand. The mexican was very good also. Huge choice of Thai foods available too. Best part - 30baht smoothies
Great market and not too big. Lots of the usual stalls selling clothes, body care products and gifts. But the best part was the food stalls with beautiful looking food at reasonable prices.

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.
