Ban Amphur
(dishes 100-380B; 11am-11pm)
This fishing village 15km south of Pattaya is a dinner destina-
tion for Thais. A half-dozen seafood restaurants line the beach road and some are so large
the waiters use walkie-talkies. Pick one that doesn't seem lonely or overwhelmed and or-
der all the seafood specialities. You'll have to hire transport to get here.

Sketch Book Art Cafe
(Th Tha Phraya; dishes 90-640B; 8am-11pm; )
A cool, surprising place to find in Jomtien.
There's a pleasant garden, while inside the walls are covered with paintings by custom-
ers; kids will like it. Decent steaks, as well as Western and Thai faves. They sell art sup-
plies, too.
