Eating
Pattaya is a package holiday town, so there are a lot of overpriced, mediocre restaurants.
But the seafood is always good.

(Th Pattaya Klang; dishes 100-300B; 24hr)
Pattaya has a thriving Chinatown run by families
who expertly balance their Thai and Chinese heritage. Leng Kee specialises in duck
dishes, but is city-renowned during Chinese New Year when the menu goes vegetarian
and includes golden good-luck noodles.
Mae Sai Tong
(Th Pattaya Klang; dishes 50B)
Next to the day market, a fine spot for cheap fried rice and
noodle dishes, this stand is famous for selling
kôw nĕe·o má·môo·ang
(ripe mango with
sticky rice) all year round. Everyone else has to wait for the hot-dry season to compete.

Mum Aroi
( 0 3822 3252; 83/4 Soi 4, Th Naklua; dishes 180-380B; 5-10pm)
'Delicious corner' is a contem-
porary glass-and-concrete restaurant perched beside the sea in the fishing village end of
Naklua. Old fishing boats sit marooned offshore and crisp ocean breezes envelop diners
as they greedily devour fantastic Thai food. Try
sôm·đam Ъoo
(spicy papaya salad with
crab) and
Ъlah mèuk nêung ma-now
(squid steamed in lime juice). You'll need to charter
a baht bus to get here (one way 100B).

Nang Nual
( 0 3842 8478; Walking St; dishes 80-500B; 11am-11pm)
Pattaya's most famous seafood restaur-
ant now spreads across both sides of Walking St. The dishes are pleasant, if not spectacu-
lar, and the fish are all on display. The section of the restaurant on the waterfront has an
outdoor deck offering bay views.
