Pattaya has many shops - ranging from the large supermarkets through to the specialist retailer. We guide you to the best shops and shopping areas.
With the regular influx of tourists from various countries, there are many shops in the mall-type shopping centres that cater more or less for the visitor to Pattaya trade.
Residents of Pattaya are well catered for with the large supermarkets in particular.
All day to day items are available in the street food vendors, corner shops - represented by the Seven-Eleven and Family Mart shops and the supermarkets.
The shopping malls are for the fashion-conscious and gift hunter - either to take back to their own country or for local recipients!
Many western brands are to be found in the supermarkets, but the Thai home brands are of course cheaper.
