Visitor Reviews
I had a fantastic experience at Royal Garden Plaza in Pattaya! The mall offers a great mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment, making it a perfect destination for both locals and tourists. The atmosphere is vibrant and well-maintained, with friendly staff everywhere. I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of international restaurants and the beautiful views from the upper levels. The shopping options are also top-notch, with both well-known brands and unique local boutiques. If you’re in Pattaya, this place is definitely worth a visit for a fun, relaxing time!
This is the first shopping mall you see when walking along Pattaya Beach. First of all, the interior is very cool and sells a variety of items. As soon as you enter the entrance, you can see Tops and Starbucks. This week is the Lunar New Year holiday, so a team playing Chinese songs will be performing. You can walk along the beach, loosen up your sweat, and relax with a delicious coffee. I recommend it.
This mall is absolutely beautiful! It has everything—delicious food, a full grocery, great shopping, shoes, and more. Plus, it features amazing entertainment like Ripley's Believe It or Not, just like in Pattaya. A perfect place to relax and enjoy your day!

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.
