| Major hotels operate gourmet restaurants, cocktail
lounges, discotheques, nightclubs and supper clubs which
offer excellent food, drinks, music and international
entertainment. Such establishments are ideally suited
to family entertainment.
Nightlife beyond Pattaya's hotels is more liberated
and exciting. Discotheques, transvestite cabarets, nightclubs,
coffee shops, karaoke bars, open air bars and restaurants
with live music and entertainment compete for attention.
Most such establisments are located along the Beach
Road, Pattaya 2 Road, and in South Pattaya, which is
also the resort's major shopping area.
Up-to-date listings of entertainment and shows are available
in local English language tourism publications.
South Pattaya is the major shopping area for
beachwear, souvenirs, films, tapes, pharmaceuticals
and liquor. The resort's major gems, jewellery, silk,
cotton and handicraft shops, tailors and boutiques are
located in the vicinity of, or adjacent to, major beachside
hotels.
The Pattaya 2 Road is also a favourite haunt for shoppers,
with several handicraft and Thai silk shops.
Department stores and allied bazaars in Central Pattaya
offer other shopping experiences.
Some of Thailand's choicest seafood is found in
hotel buffets and several specialty restaurants. Steakhouses,
coffee shops and fast food outlets provide attractive
alternatives.
Gourmets and gourmands alike find satisfaction in numerous
restaurants featuring regional Thai cuisine and French,
Swiss, German, Italian, English, Scandinavian, Indian,
Arabic, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean food. |
