Sanctuary of Truth is a 20-story complex made entirely of hand-hewn wood carvings, still under construction but open for tours. Similar to the Tibetan sand mandala art, this massive teak structure is a blend of architecture and philosophy, depicting lessons from various religions emphasizing respect for elders, choosing company wisely, and treating others well. It serves as a remarkable place for reflection on higher ideals and the impermanence of life.
We came from Bangkok to Pattaya and found this place thanks to our driver. The entrance fee was very fair, and the ticket included several activities. You can choose, for example, to join a guided tour with other visitors. The site itself is truly stunning, with everything carved out of wood. It’s a real masterpiece and absolutely worth a visit. You can even rent traditional Thai clothing to take beautiful photos. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time and couldn’t explore all the activities, but we highly recommend it!

The Sanctuary of Truth is absolutely breathtaking. The entire building is made of intricately carved wood, and seeing the craftsmanship up close is incredible. The guided tour was informative and helped explain the symbolism behind the design. The seaside location adds a peaceful atmosphere, and the photos came out amazing. There is some ongoing construction, but it actually makes the experience even more interesting since you can watch artisans working in real time. Overall, one of the most unique and memorable attractions in Pattaya. Highly recommended!

If you ever go to Pattaya, This place is a must visit. You may think it's just a temple but once you look at it with your own eyes, you will change your perspective about it. The art in the temple is commendable. Every inch here makes you wonder. Can't even imagine how they made it all the way. Most importantly they never used any concrete or civil joining items to make this temple, it's just wooden joint technique which holds this massive temple. Even 6 hours won't be enough to admit it's architecture beauty. Must must must visit place, never miss it.
Rahul — Google review
Absolutely stunning! The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The entire structure is hand-carved wood, and every corner has incredible detail and symbolism. It feels more like stepping into a living piece of art than visiting a temple. If you’re in Pattaya, this is a must-visit.
레오이즘 L — Google review
I would have given 4 starts if it was not so expensive! This used to be free as it should be for a place of worship and not exploiting the tourists. 500 baht is a very big amount! All the temples are using the tourists to make big money. I would understand reasonable entrance fee but 14 euro is too much! Also the staff is hustle and you are obligated to go via a tour guide and special hours with your chosen language. We preferred to see the place on our own and in peace. Also very expensive restaurant. They even charged us 10 baht for ice in our very overpriced drinks we bought. All the statues are half naked but people are obligated to cover up, this part we did not get at all.

Any trip to Pattaya is not complete if one doesn’t visit the Sanctuary of Truth Museum. It’s an astonishingly beautiful structure which is made entirely of wood and has wonderful sculptures and wooden carvings inside teaching the visitors the philosophy of life. One can also try out the Thai Traditional costume for an hour and take pictures. There are different activities within the vicinity of this museum that visitors can try like feeding the animals, horse riding, boating etc and also a number of cafés and restaurants to satisfy your food cravings, as well as a souvenir shop if one wants to buy souvenirs.
Amenla L — Google review
An amazing structure which is well worth the visit. A one hour tour but you could spend another 2-3 hours admiring the architecture and carvings. There are food stalls and foot massages available and an amazingly tranquil river next to the temple grounds to have a nice meal and drink while soaking in the atmosphere. It was quite a trip from Bangkok city but well worth the effort to view it. Only drawback is that they have animal rides in the form of horses and elephants and I feel sad for the forlorn looking animals made to serve so that their masters can earn some money. Temple wise - it's absolutely majestic. From the same people who designed the awesome White Temple in Chiangrai.

Must visit place in Thailand. Its completly built by wooden. Includes indian, chinese and thai culture and history carvings. I recomend every one to visit this. Entry fee is really woth and dont miss to wear full dress for ladis (Shoulders and knees should be covered) no shorts for boys (to wear full pant). If you come with short dress you will have to refundable deposit of 200 thb and get the cloth for boys and girls.

Interesting place for tourists but prices are higher compared to other markets. Can bargain a bit. It gets really hot from 10am to 4pm even if it's open space with covered walkways . Some local food stalls too. Can spend around 2 hours. The boat ride is nice but expensive. The water is visibly dirty.
Leotales N — Google review
Loved visiting the Pattaya Floating Market! The place is vibrant and packed with energy — from local food stalls and souvenir shops to cultural shows and boat rides. It’s a great mix of traditional Thai charm and fun tourist experiences. The food options are amazing (don’t miss the coconut ice cream!) and the people are warm and welcoming. Perfect spot to spend a few relaxed hours soaking in the local vibe and taking photos. Definitely worth a visit! 🌸🚤

I loved this place. We had an hour to explore but the was no where near enough time. (We went there on a tour) Wide variety of things to buy. I was able to grab a couple dresses and some souvenirs for my family and friends. We had some almonds that were delicious and a couple fruit smoothies. We also had a traditional Thai meal...eggs, seafood soup (with the entire shrimp including the head) and another, I think, it was soup...but very spicy. When we first got there, the took us to the other side on a boat, it was like Italy. *fun fact* there is no toilet paper nor paper towels in the bathrooms. So be prepared to let everything air dry....lol But definitely go.

Pattaya Floating Market is a popular tourist spot, but overall, it’s an mixed experience. The entrance fee is on the higher side compared to what it offers. While the concept of a traditional floating market sounds exciting, the actual arrangement and environment are not as impressive or authentic as expected. The beauty and charm that one might hope for are somewhat lacking. It’s more of a place to check off from a list rather than one to truly enjoy. Worth a short visit if you’re nearby, but not something to go out of your way for.
Shahzad S — Google review
The place is listed in the top of my Pattaya vacation with highest expectations. However the price was incredibly high, but the activity delivered almost nothing of value; the quality of food was shockingly poor and very unhealthy. For example I paid 800 B per person and 1600 for my wife and me. The list price is only 600 in google map. In one of fruit seller, she sold me a 300+ golden stale and fermenting Durian. I Felt still painful with grumpy stomach. The water was muddy and no sightseeing worthy of any photos. The boat is only about 10 minutes on muddy water pond. I would not recommend this to anyone because the price is high and the service is practically zero. I also recommend the local government should involve in the regulation of food, price, and activities fitted to the price.
John Z — Google review
I liked this place, but I recommend not taking the boat ride — it’s a waste of money. Just buy the 200-baht entry ticket and explore. Don’t go for the 800-baht ticket. Other than that, it’s a great place to visit, shop, and take photos.
Loorixx A — Google review
Undoubtedly one of the best in the world. It was really a very delectable experience. The beautiful black gondola-like boat meandering through the narrow canals bordered by endless small shops on either side is an amazing sight, and, of course, an unforgettable experience. It was nice to watch the innumerable small boats serving as little shops selling everything on earth. One thing worth mentioning is the perfect cleanliness of the place. Hats off to the people and the authorities, for keeping such a busy place so neat and clean

Gardens
Nong Nooch Botanical Garden is a sprawling 500-acre attraction that offers a diverse range of experiences. In addition to its themed gardens showcasing Thai culture, it features elephant shows and rides, as well as a variety of dining options. The garden is one of the largest botanical gardens in Southeast Asia and boasts an array of plant species, including orchids, bonsai trees, and cacti. Visitors can also enjoy performances, activities, and even explore a small zoo within the expansive grounds.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nong Nooch Garden is a beautiful place in Pattaya and really worth the visit. The gardens are huge with so many zones — orchids, cactus, French style, and even dinosaur valley. Everything is well kept and perfect for photos. There are cultural shows, elephant shows, and a sightseeing tram if you don’t want to walk too much. Lots of food options inside too. The ticket price is fair. If you book online on sites like Trip.com, it’s even cheaper. Best to plan at least half a day here because there’s so much to see. Tips: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and bring sun protection. Some people may not like the animal shows, so keep that in mind. Overall, I had a great time — beautiful, relaxing, and very good value. Highly recommend! 🌿✨

Well one of the must visit place in Pattaya. You can visit here with your family or friends and spend some quality time. It is away from the main city ,you can book a cab or any group tour. But you can easily get Grab/bolt. This place needs your full day to explore. This place is good for childrens. Tickets should be book in advance.
Abhishek S — Google review
If you are three lover and interested in knowing different varieties of tree plants, flowers, this is the place for you to go. It’s huge categorised in proper manner. Be ready to walk more. Spend time over there or else you can just take a tour from outside (you won’t be able to see much from outside). The elephant show place is also nearby, so if you are planning to go over there, then take little extra time to visit there as well. It can be a day affair.
Megha S — Google review
The one of the best tour scene for foreigners. It’s not only the gardens, but there are so many artistic works on the walking zones. We encountered the heavy rain during the day which, however, we were dry due to covered sky gardens. The food in the cafeteria was good and the drink is perfect made. The dinosaur zone is vivid and educational. Amazing that I never saw such around the world. The best price, of course are comprehensive one in the world. In the addition the folk dance show as well as the elephant show are so well organized, and the elephants are well trained and so awesome in that and very entertaining. I would recommend to come next time with the kids or grandkids. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough time to finish all to comers. I highly recommend to everybody who stays few days in Pattaya.

For the show in the theater, only the first part of it worth seeing, showing about the traditional Thai provience clothing's and dance. The second part is some old pop song with fancy dancers. Other places of this garden is too big to walk, although you can take the sightseeing mini bus, but only you will see some concrete dino and animal statue. Food inside is good and cheap, no worries.

As much as garden is impressive and I really enjoyed visiting it, I didn't realise they keep elephants on hand and they let people ride them. I cannot watch cruelty like that! I got really upset when I saw staff member training young elephant to be ridden on and was hitting it with a stick in the head. Poor animals so abused and frightened. Garden might be the most amazing, I post photos, but I will never visit it again. Not contributing to animal cruelty

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Underwater World Pattaya is the city's sole aquarium, offering a diverse showcase of Thailand's marine life. Despite its smaller size compared to other aquariums, it boasts an impressive array of sea creatures from various underwater environments. Visitors can engage in unique experiences such as feeding koi fish from bottles, encountering sharks and rays up close, and exploring Thailand's largest collection of jellyfish.
Great place to visit. Takes about 1 hour to see it all. My favorite are the three tunnels that go under huge tanks. One of them have giants of Siam, incredibly large fish that you can appreciate while feeling immersed in the ocean. I recommend to go to their feedings, it was spectacular to watch. The diver really tries to show give you a good show while feeding the animals.
Vanida A — Google review
Not worth the ticket price. There are very few fish overall, and most of the tanks feel quite empty. The underwater tunnel is divided into three zones, but there’s not much to see in any of them. It might be okay for a quick visit if you have limited time, but don't expect too much.
Paleerat W — Google review
The entrance fee for Thai visitors is 250 THB. Inside, it’s actually quite small with only three tunnel sections, mostly featuring sharks and rays. Personally, I didn’t find it very impressive and don’t think it’s worth the ticket price, as there aren’t that many animals to see. The air conditioning wasn’t very cool either. I went on a weekend and it was quite crowded. Since there’s only one entrance and exit, it felt a bit cramped. That said, the stingrays were absolutely adorable. They seemed to instinctively pause and let visitors take photos, which I found really cute and charming. They were definitely my favorite part of the visit.🫶🏻🩵 I’d recommend going on a weekday instead for a better experience.

Area is definitely smaller than expected, but it's still quite nice to visit and see animals. Not much food but there are a selection of drinks. (Your ticket has certain discounts when purchased. At least for booking.) Queue definitely took quite awhile, I suggest booking before hand as it made the whole procedure much faster in comparison to those who didn't. (Seemed like they needed a passport for identification? Unsure)

Great place to visit. Tourists pay more. A few long glass tunnels so you can see all the sea life. Very well though out. Tanks and ponds too. Be sure to go there if you are in Pattaya. Take the kids No waiting pay cash 600tb when I went. Check Booking.com price my be more expensive than the gate.

It was not a bad experience for underwater world but a bit grumpy for very small world. I did not expect high but if they can give more enjoyable things like as more varieties,more special fish that we never seen or to the cold weather when we walked to see the world.
Tanadchai A — Google review
Great underwater glass tunnel aquarium. BE AWARE OF THE DOUBLE PRICING SYSTEM (THERE'S A ENTRY FEE FOR FARANGS AND A LOWER ONE FOR THAI PEOPLE). Example: You're there with three Thais make sure you buy three tickets for Thai Nationals and one for a Foreigner. Once you paid there'll be NO NO NO NO NO Refund.
Fritz — Google review
Excellent for younger kids. Short under water walk, good for young kids so they don’t get tired and grumpy. Yet they get to experience sharks, large fish and large turtles. Small gift shop at the ends along with arcade and coin games for infants and toddlers.

Very interesting menu and the food was excellent. The place is very fancy and well done up. Perfect for a romantic evening right on the beach.

Beautiful location, great food – but disappointing service The Glass House Boho in Na Jomtien has one of the most stunning locations you can imagine – right by the sea, with a beautifully designed setting that perfectly blends boho charm and tropical vibes. The ambiance is simply wonderful, and the restaurant truly has huge potential. The food itself is excellent. The menu is impressively large, offering a great mix of Thai cuisine, creative fusion dishes, and international favorites. Every dish we tried was delicious and well-prepared — definitely a highlight of the visit. However, the service was unfortunately far below expectations. We didn’t feel the warm Thai hospitality that usually makes dining in Thailand so special. The staff was unfriendly and inattentive. Drinks were simply placed on the table without asking who ordered what, and we had to pass them around ourselves. Some drinks never arrived at all, even though the order had been confirmed twice. Another disappointing moment was when I ordered half a bottle of wine, which was served in a carafe. I asked for a little ice water to keep it cool and was charged an additional 150 THB for that — which felt quite unreasonable. It’s such a pity for a place with this much potential. The location is outstanding and the food is truly worth recommending, but the poor service overshadows the experience. A kind note to the management: With better staff training and a stronger focus on genuine Thai hospitality, this restaurant could easily become one of the top dining spots in Pattaya. The improvement in service would not only enhance the guest experience but certainly boost business as well.

Fine dining restaurant
French restaurant
Cafe des Amis Fine Dining is a renowned restaurant in Pattaya, offering an exceptional culinary experience. The menu features a variety of high-quality seafood, steaks, and other upscale dishes served in an elegant setting with a charming patio. The restaurant takes pride in its attention to detail and offers an impressive selection of wines from around the world. Known for its authentic Japanese Wagyu steaks that are incredibly tender, Cafe des Amis provides a dining experience like no other in Pattaya City.
This was my second time dining at this restaurant, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. It’s truly one of the most remarkable culinary experiences I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is elegant, the service impeccable, and the food — unforgettable. The duck was perfectly cooked: tender, juicy, with a crisp, flavorful skin. The lobster risotto was rich, creamy, and bursting with freshness, generously topped with lobster. Every dish reflects true craftsmanship and a deep passion for fine cuisine. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

The restaurant is very cozy, and the service is impeccable. The wine pairings were right on spot for the food served. The beef wellington was pure magic, it really melted in your mouth. I think it's probably the best restaurant in Pattaya area. However, it's not a star level restaurant, there are a few details here and there that still can be improved upon. And I find that peculiar, as they have already gone about 80% of the way there, why not take the last few steps as well and put a star on the wall as well?

Really enjoyed dining here! The service was excellent and the food was great. Can’t believe this place has been around for decades and I just discovered it.

It had been a while since my last visit to Café des Amis in Pattaya, and I’m pleased to say it’s still absolutely exceptional — possibly even better than before. I’ve never considered myself a foodie or expert on fine dining, but I know quality when I see it — and this place delivers on every level. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed, making it ideal for a special occasion or treat. On this visit, I took my girlfriend (a chef herself) and we opted for the 7-course tasting menu. From lobster to steak, foie gras to sushi, every dish was executed to perfection. The ingredients were clearly of the highest quality, the flavours were spot on, and the presentation was flawless. Service throughout the evening was attentive, friendly, and professional — the kind of smooth experience that elevates the entire meal. One thing that really stood out this time was the private conservatory area — a brilliant addition that adds a more intimate touch to the experience. Hats off to the team and management. This was without doubt one of the finest meals I’ve had in Pattaya. If Michelin ever gives the city a look, Café des Amis should be right at the top of the list. Highly recommended — treat yourself. You won’t regret it.
Mark F — Google review
A Masterpiece of Culinary Theatre – Café des Amis, Pattaya Having travelled extensively and dined at some of the world’s most renowned establishments, I can say with conviction that Café des Amis in Pattaya stands among the very finest. The experience here transcends mere dining — it is performance art. The service operates with such precision, grace, and attentiveness that it feels akin to watching a Broadway production unfold before your eyes. The kitchen exhibits extraordinary technical clarity — each dish executed with discipline, artistry, and confidence. The short rib in particular is a triumph: deep, meaty, and luxuriously rich, embodying the very essence of culinary indulgence. The menu itself is a global showcase of the finest ingredients, each plate harmonising texture, flavour, and visual elegance. Owner Blu is a perfectionist in the truest sense — a visionary constantly striving for new heights of excellence. His relentless pursuit of refinement is evident in every detail, from the choreography of the service to the flawless presentation of each course. The newly unveiled conservatory is a spectacular addition — an architectural and sensory enhancement that amplifies an already world-class experience. I have flown from England to Thailand on multiple occasions solely to revisit this remarkable restaurant — a testament to its magnetism. Café des Amis doesn’t just deserve its glowing reputation; it defines what exceptional hospitality should aspire to be.

I was in a large diner party tonight and had a fabulous evening with fine dining. The group's attendies came from Australian, America, England , Thailand, Lao, Japan, and Hongkong . This restaurant was able to satisfy every one. Our orders included; Alaskain king crab, wagyu sushi rolls, lobster bisque soup, Wagyu Steak, duck liver , salads, soups.... Etc. Since our participants varied it was reflected in foods ordered. Wonderful flavors and beautiful presentation made the diner a challenge for our taste buds to keep up. Appetizers started our meal and dessert and after diner liquor helped us finish. Not only was the food excellant, the premise was beautiful and the staff was attentive. This place made us all feel like nobility . If you have read this far then let me tell you, get there early, enjoy a drink at bar ,second to none in this area. Talk to the bar tender ( get an old fashion, irish coffee , Makers Mark. (Or my new favorite ... Ask for Rockland gin. ) If you are lucky the owner be there. His presence makes you feel like trying more dishes , being risky ordering exotic dishes. Todays, experience was worth going back . A+++++ to handle fine dining while being efficient in serving large parties this restaurant was what fine dining

Located on the 34th floor of the Hilton Hotel, above the Central Festival shopping center in downtown Pattaya, Horizon Rooftop Restaurant and Bar is a renowned spot offering stunning views of Pattaya Bay. This stylish rooftop venue serves as both a bar and a fine dining restaurant, providing an elegant ambiance to enjoy delicious cuisine and crafted cocktails while taking in the breathtaking surroundings.
A brilliant spot for sunset cocktails. Stunning views, delicious drinks,sophisticated ambience, great service, and no nonsense pricing. Happy hour cocktails - 450B for 2. Well satisfied. Kudos to the Hilton for putting net prices on the menu. A refreshing and welcome change. Thank you. Recommend the Sea Breeze for refreshing and the Pina Colada for tropical seaside vibe. This is a Pattaya must visit. Enjoy!

Horizon staff is really fantastic! Manager fulfilled my request to reserve the best seat and also helped to keep my present & serve with the complimentary dessert to surprise my wife for our anniversary. She even decorated the plate which my present was served on, maximum service 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 Waitress Nice was also nice to us throughout the whole evening and made our night a pleasant one. Ambience was of course awesome and the view is chef’s kiss. Food was on a smaller portion size but quality is good. The complimentary chocolate cake dessert is fantastic. Cod is also cooked to perfection.

Got lucky to have a DJ playing that night. Loved the black and white visuals playing. They make a solid old fashioned there. You will be paying quiet a bit for food and drink, but its somewhat expected from a 5 star hotel with a view.

Horizon Hilton Bar Pattaya nails the experience where it counts: sweeping views, expertly mixed drinks, and polished, attentive service. It’s a fantastic spot for sunset cocktails or a celebratory night out. The only miss was the food perfectly passable but not memorable. If they elevate the bar bites to match the cocktails and service, this would be a no-brainer five-star. Until then, go for the skyline, stay for the drinks.

Wonderful Horizon!! One of the best rooftop in Pattaya, on 34F of Hilton hotel, we took more view with one bottle of Prosecco just for observation and enjoy view. The beach view is so beautiful from this angle we love it. Will be back to try more here.

The place is truly incredible for Pattaya. Since I was staying at the Hilton, it was very convenient to access. It’s a great spot to have dinner and enjoy a few glasses of wine before heading out to Walking Street. The oysters were absolutely excellent. The only downside is that the service could be improved a bit, as it’s sometimes hard for the staff to see us in the dark. Pattaya definitely needs more places like this.

Food is great, place is just tremendously magnificent. You can have a 360° view on all Pattaya. On the outside there is a DJ playing nice music, if you would like to have a more private moment with your group you might also reserve small glass rooms. The only small drawback was the slightly overcooking of the meat in my case was beef and spiny lobster. The lamb was just delicious.

Seafood restaurant
Mum Aroi Restaurant - Na Kluea Branch is a popular and affordable seafood restaurant in Pattaya, known for its fresh and high-quality seafood. The restaurant's prime location in the fishing area ensures that diners enjoy the freshest catches at reasonable prices. With about 100 tables, guests can savor their meals while feeling the cool sea breeze and listening to the soothing sound of waves. Additionally, a live band performs every night from 8pm, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
Big established restaurant by the sea. No beach, but the restaurant is built next to the waters so there’s ample sea breeze and great views of the sea. Orders came pretty fast. Despite the busy atmosphere the staff were attentive enough to top up ice and drinks. Servings are quite generous for the price point. Seafood is fresh and well made. Plenty of parking opposite the establishment. There’s even a bakery with very good cakes within if u have space after…

It's a restaurant for a big group of people. When we got there and ordered, the service was good and promptly. Unfortunately what we ordered, was very salty and strong smell. Overall it was good and some of the dishes were let down.

The seafood here is super fresh! 🐚🦐🦀 Great atmosphere, high-quality ingredients, and tasty dishes — though the flavors might be a bit mild for Thai taste. Food comes out fast at first, but if you order more later, expect some wait time ⏳. I recommend ordering everything at once. We visited during a long holiday and could walk in without a reservation 🙌. Staff were lovely and helped us get a seaside table 🌊. The view was amazing! Highly recommend coming around 5 PM — perfect lighting, cool breeze, and not too hot 🌅. Definitely worth a visit! 🌴✨

Moom Aroi Na Kluea is the best seafood place I found on my trip. The fried fish is so juicy and tasty. The prawns are huge, super fresh, and sweet—like they came straight from the sea. I also tried the spicy shrimp soup, and wow, full of flavor but not too hot. Every dish is simple but really good. The restaurant is right by the beach with a chill vibe. You can sit outside, feel the breeze, watch the sunset, and relax. They have many kinds of cold beer and some nice wines too. Perfect for a fun night with friends or family. The staff are friendly and fast. Prices are quite high for such quality food. I went twice and will come back next time I’m here. If you love seafood, you have to try this place

The food was absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients have been used and you could taste it in every dish. We were early than the crowd, otherwise couldn’t imagine when they are full house. Even though there was a big fan next to us, we sweated while sitting at the patio, it was quite a warm day, so pick your table wisely if you could. Plenty of parking and staff. We’ll definitely come back if we are in the area.

Revisit after some years. Still having a good view and a good vibes. Few opportunity to improve. Foods are quite sweet taste. Salty egg squid too sweet. Tamrine sour soup w ryu gyu fish eggs is also too sweet and salty... As it is by the coast the wind is very strong and we expect the bin for all the tables. Anyway will be here again.

The Glass House Silver is a charming seafood restaurant located in an idyllic beachfront setting in Pattaya. It offers a romantic and relaxed atmosphere, making it perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. The restaurant features both an air-conditioned dining area and a picturesque outdoor patio where guests can enjoy over 170 Thai and Western dishes, with a focus on delectable seafood options.
Glass House serves the best Thai food, absolutely outstanding with every dish on the menu being exceptional. Since my first visit to Thailand in 1989, their Tom Yum Goong and Pad Thai have consistently above anywhere else, with their unmatched quality. It’s a shame there aren’t more locations like this. I’ve dined at both their Chonburi branches multiple times and always leave satisfied.

A great choice for those seeking a beautiful seaside dining experience. The food is reliable, the atmosphere is elegant, and the view is the real highlight. While it may not be the most flavorful or affordable option in Pattaya, it delivers well on setting and experience. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The atmosphere was okay, with both seaside seating and air-conditioned rooms available. The food, however, was quite ordinary and not really to my taste — the flavors leaned toward being bland. Portion sizes were moderate, leaning toward the smaller side. It seems like the majority of the customers are foreign tourists. Service was average, nothing particularly different from other restaurants. What really disappointed me was finding a long strand of hair tangled with the squid and dried chili. At that point, I lost my appetite and didn’t want to continue eating. I didn’t make a fuss, but I informed the staff, and they did apologize. Personally, I wouldn’t go back again — mainly because the taste didn’t suit me, the portion sizes were not very satisfying, the prices felt high compared to what you get, and the cleanliness issue was unacceptable

Food tasted ok and on average compared to the price. But good location indeed, on beachfront, and having both outdoor and indoor area. Staff is attentive and polite. Recommend salmon dish, very tasty and yum. Deep fried Shimp cake is also good, highly recommend. Good place to hang out with friends and family.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. We ordered owner’s salad which is very refreshing. The spaghetti pesto sauce is a bit off with weird bitter taste. The atmosphere is very nice. Will definitely come back again.

From Thai food to Western Varieties to choose from! Calamari is better than I was expected Food was great. Drinks were excellent. Staffs were friendly. However if you want to order you need to get attention from them otherwise they are all great

The best thing about this restaurant is the location! We got the beach front seats facing the sunset and the view was nothing short of amazing!! Food was good 👍 however minor downside - the service was slightly slow - understand that there were many customers at that time. The restaurant is spacious with outdoor and indoor seatings! Make sure that you go there during sunset 🌅
