The best coffee shops in Pattaya
Our pick of Pattaya’s specialty coffee. No Pattaya café appears in the global coffee ranking — Thailand’s only entry is in Bangkok — but the resort city has a genuine independent roasting scene, and this is its extent rather than a padded list. A favourite.place selection. Sources: The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops https://theworlds100bestcoffeeshops.com/top-100-coffee-shops/
Pattaya’s best casual eats
Our pick of Pattaya’s everyday eating — the cheap MICHELIN entries plus the seafood markets and clifftop rooms locals actually use. Pattaya has no 50 Top Pizza or World’s 101 Best Burgers entry, so neither is claimed here. A favourite.place selection. Sources: MICHELIN https://guide.michelin.com/th/en/chon-buri-region/restaurants
Pattaya’s best restaurants
The best restaurants in Pattaya. The MICHELIN Guide Thailand extended to Chon Buri province in 2025 and Pattaya has no starred restaurant, so this list is built from the city’s Bib Gourmand and MICHELIN-Selected entries — filtered to Pattaya itself, not the wider province.
