Central Pattaya
Rob's take
"The most useful building in Pattaya on a wet or brutally hot afternoon — air-conditioned, straight off Beach Road, and connected through to Second Road. What most people miss is the terrace, which hands you a free sunset over the bay, and the cinema screen that faces the sea. Don't drive: the parking is a slow-moving misery."
Central Pattaya is a shopping spot in Pattaya, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.5★ on Google.

A large beachfront shopping complex in the heart of Pattaya, connecting Beach Road and Second Road, with the Hilton hotel above.
