Candy Shop

4.2(423 reviews)$$$$

Candy Shop sits on the heart of Walking Street, Pattaya's most famous nightlife strip, and draws in crowds with its live music performances and open-air layout. The venue operates as a bar and live music spot, with bands keeping the energy high throughout the night. Its position directly on Walking Street makes it easy to stumble upon — and equally easy to stay longer than planned.

The atmosphere is lively and social, with a mix of tourists and visitors dancing and drinking into the early hours. The open-air design keeps things surprisingly comfortable despite the energy inside. Staff are generally noted as friendly, though service can be inconsistent during busier periods. Drinks lean toward the higher end of Pattaya's pricing scale — expect to pay around 170 baht or more for a beer — so it is worth budgeting accordingly. Weekend nights feature additional entertainment, including dancing performers, which adds to the spectacle.

Night venue with a live band that gives a good ambiance. Drinks prices are high. The service restroom guy is pushy for tip.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
