Suriyaland Pattaya
Suriyaland Pattaya is an eclectic open-air destination combining a vintage and antique market with a casual café, located in the Bang Sare area of Chon Buri province, not far from Nong Nuch Garden and Wat Yan. Despite its listing under temples and culture, the real draw here is the treasure-hunt atmosphere of its sprawling secondhand and collectibles market, where visitors browse an unusual mix of vintage Japanese goods, old cameras, glassware, sculptures, paintings, clothing, books, and even low-priced trading cards. The site has a relaxed, informal character that rewards curious browsers rather than those seeking a polished attraction. Entrance is free, and the on-site café serves coffee, tea, and pastries, making it a comfortable place to rest between browsing. A handful of selfie photo spots add a lighthearted element to the visit. The venue is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, giving visitors plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Good to know: The site is partially or fully open-air, and reviewers note it can get quite hot, so bringing water is strongly recommended. The location sits outside central Pattaya, so arranging transport by taxi or rideshare in advance is advisable. Prices throughout the market tend to be low, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in vintage finds without a significant budget outlay. Allow one to two hours to browse comfortably.

Visitor Reviews
A tourist attraction not far from the Nong Nuch Garden and Wat Yan. Entrance is free. There is a café with only coffee, tea, and pastries, and also a vintage shop with low prices. The place is interesting, and you can spend about one hour here. Even on weekends, there were not many people.
Many vintage items for sale, mostly imported from Japan. Lots of cool stuff like old cameras, glassware, plates, and even Yu-Gi-Oh cards for 2 baht each. A fun place to visit and discover vintage items. 👍🏻
This is a very interesting place, everyone will find something to buy here. Lots of vintage Japanese goods. Very hot place, take water.

Dress Modestly
Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
