Pratamnak Night Market Pattaya: Timings, Best Food Stalls, Shopping & Travel Guide

One of the coolest evening locations in the city is the Pratamnak Night Market Pattaya, which is less commercial and with more of the real Thai tastes. This is a smaller market than the larger ones, but it is also very pleasant, neat and comfortable, with the added advantage of avoiding large crowds of people, but still allows one to have good street food, shop in boutiques, and even have an exciting nightlife.

Here’s why travellers love it:

● Thai street food with fresh seafood, smoochies and exotic desserts.

● Fashion and lifestyle stalls in the locality at reasonable prices.

● Refrigerated seats, music and ambient atmosphere.

● Proximate location to Pattaya Viewpoint, Walking Street and Jomtien Beach.

● Ideal after a beach day in the evening.

It is among those places where one can feel like they are experiencing Pattaya in the manner in which locals do.

The market is located on a clean and well-lit footpath that has food kiosks, retail stalls, fresh fruit vendors, Thai BBQ cafes, and seating areas. The design is quite basic and easy to visit with the family, a couple, or a single traveller.

Expect to find:

● Seafood grilled booths of prawns, squids, fish and shellfish.

● Thai stir-fries and curries made on site.

● Dumplings, sushi and Thai-Japanese fusion kiosks.

● tropical dessert carts, fruit shakes, and bubble tea.

● Apparel, accessories, beachwear wear and souvenirs.

You will stroll down joyful streets full of smouldering smells, vibrant conversations, low-key music and that inimitable night-market atmosphere that Thailand is renowned for.
