OMG Thai Restaurant and Cooking School
Two things happen here, and you pick which one you want. It's a restaurant serving Thai food, and it's a cooking school where you make it yourself. If you've eaten your way through Pattaya and want to take something home besides photos, this is the sort of place I'd point you towards. If you just want dinner, that's fine too, nobody makes you chop anything.
Doors open at 5pm and stay open until 1am, every day of the week. That late finish is unusual for a place with a teaching side to it, and it makes the restaurant genuinely useful if you've been out and want a proper meal at 11pm rather than whatever the street cart has left. For the classes, go early. A cooking session isn't something you squeeze in at midnight, and you want the shopping, the prep and the eating to happen without anyone rushing.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
