Shopping

The main shopping centres in Pattaya are Central Festival, Royal Garden Plaza and Terminal 21. You’ll find familiar brands such as H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, Apple stores, Puma, Under Armour and Adidas. Central Festival is located in the city centre. The malls are set up like anywhere else in the world — parking, a food court, playrooms, arcades and cinemas. When visiting malls it’s a good idea to take a light jumper or a warm scarf even in summer: the air conditioning runs so strongly that lips can go blue and shopping becomes a test. This tip often applies to other indoor places in Thailand with air conditioning.
