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.

Getting there and around
- The market is on Thepprasit Road in South Pattaya, toward the Sukhumvit Road end, behind Outlet Mall Pattaya. Big C South Pattaya is about 10 minutes' walk.
- It's off the Beach Road and Second Road baht-bus loops (฿15 on the loops, ฿20 for longer runs since April 2026), so Bolt or a motorbike taxi is the simple way there and back.
- Parking is free, and so are the toilets.

Why go, and how to do it well
Go for the eating. That's the honest summary of Pattaya's biggest night market, where hundreds of stalls sell cheap fashion, cosmetics, accessories and souvenirs, but the food zone is what pulls the crowds in every evening. Fresh BBQ seafood, pad thai, grilled meats, noodles, curries and a run of Thai sweets including mango sticky rice. Reviewers are consistent that the desserts and snacks rarely disappoint, while the hot savory dishes swing wildly from stall to stall. Have a look at what's on the grill before you commit to a full plate.
It's fully covered and noticeably cleaner than most street markets, which makes a difference when it's packed and loud. Most dishes cost ฿40–150 and sit below what you'll pay at Jomtien, though prices aren't fixed, and the same pork can cost 100 baht one night and 150 the next, so ask before you order. If clothes are your main reason for coming, temper your hopes.
It's open every evening now, but the weekend is the full market. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday every stall is there, and on a weeknight expect noticeably fewer. It's on Thepprasit Road in South Pattaya toward the Sukhumvit end, behind Outlet Mall Pattaya, and it's off the baht-bus loops, so Bolt or a motorbike taxi is the easy way there and back.

Reviews from Google
This Market opens at 5pm plus its a little cheaper then the Jomtein Night market as that caters for the Russians $$$,other market for up to Na Jomtein is a little better in prices all depends.Thepprasit offers everything in Food plus Fruit Market also heading west from there you have the day Fruit Market Excellent as well good prices. My Pork Belly was lovely and the Curry was good for a takeaway. You just have to check your prices one day my pork was 100 Bht next day 150 Bht hmm.But in saying that a good Night Food Hall indeed.
Thepprasit Night Market is a great place for cheap shopping with a huge variety. You can find lots of food options, dresses, cosmetics, accessories, and many other items all in one place. The market is very busy and lively at night, with a great local atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit night market in Pattaya.
Lovely markets that’s fully covered and feels very clean compared to others. The food selection for sweets is great, however all the hot savoury foods we had were much lower quality. Overall great for sweets and good shopping.

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.
Claim Your VAT Refund
Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
