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. Royal Garden Plaza is located in the city centre. From the Plaza’s food court there’s a stunning view of the bay. The malls are 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, as the air conditioning can be so strong that lips go blue and shopping becomes a challenge. This advice often applies to other indoor places in Thailand with air conditioning.
