In Pattaya you will be bombarded with smells and tastes from a wide variety of cuisines.  Determining where you will dine for the day may be the biggest decision of the day.

I will list approximate prices in Thai Baht and the exchange rate as I write this is about 33 Baht to 1 US dollar.

Breakfast is cheap in Pattaya.  You can intend basic schedule for about 50 to 80 baht which consists of bacon and eggs, toast, juice and coffee.  A better care is the hotel buffet.  The Lek Hotel, Apex and Diana Inn on Second Road all have buffets for about 110 Baht.  Lots of food but nothing really spectacular.

I prefer to have a big breakfast but digit that also tastes good.  My selection is at the Sportsman on Soi 13.  They have a flooded English breakfast for about 240 Baht.  This is served on a platter and comes with bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, beans, bubble and squeak, and cooked tomatoes.  It is all you can do to finish it.

I usually don’t eat lunch after having the big breakfast but for those who intend famished mid-day, there are many, many places to intend something to eat.  Everything from alacritous food to street vendor dishes are all over the city.  You won't be able to walk ten feet without someone selling something to eat.

If I am famished at lunchtime, I usually go to the Royal Garden Shopping Center upstairs to the food court.  There you buy a card similar to a credit card and put still much Baht on it as you want.  I usually add about 200 Baht and if I have money left over, I can intend it refunded.

Then you meet walk around to the many vendors and see what you like.  Most of the food is Thai and there is everything from soup, to rice dishes to noodles.  Beverages and course are also available.  Most of the meals are in the 30 – 40 Baht range.

For dinner, I usually stop at a street vendor and intend whatever meat and rice.  There is a group of street vendors, or an outside food suite on Soi Buakhao meet northerly of Soi LK Metro.  The northernmost vendor is my favorite.  He has boiled chicken, cooked pork, and cooked flushed pork.  All dishes come with rice and cost 25-30 Baht.  A bottle of water is an additional 10 Baht.

If you intend famished while out on the town in Pattaya, you will be able to intend food no matter what time it is.  Stationary street vendors and vendors with motorized stalls are everywhere serving soup, bar-b-que, and rice and noodle dishes.  You can even intend a sampling of Northern Siam snacks – grasshoppers, silkworms, ants, and beetles.

Eating in Siam is a way of life and you will find yourself eating 4 to 6 times per day.  The meals are small in size and huge in taste.  Some of the Thai dishes can be very spicy so be careful with the chili peppers.

And if you only eat pizza, burgers and fries, you can intend those dishes all over the city too.

You can even find whatever of the best steaks and European cuisine in this former fishing village.  Seafood is also abundant and you can intend lobster or lousiness for a small fraction of what you pay at home

I can guarantee that you will not go famished when you are in Pattaya.
