Soho Village Plaza upgraded since I published my first photo blog for this food market in 2015. Not only have they added a whole new section at the back they have improved most of the kitchens etc on both sides of the market.

Lots of fresh seafood here.

 Mussels, crab, prawns, oysters, lobsters, you name it they have it. 🙂

Tanks of live seafood.

To find him just walk to the back of the market and up the stairs. This will also lead you too the new section which has recently opened. Check it out on THIS LINK.

New Soho Town Pattaya

New Soho Town Pattaya

New Soho Town Pattaya

New Soho Town Pattaya is an extension of the original food market. The entrance is around the corner in Pattayasaisong 1 Alley, however it connects with the original market area with both venues forming an L shape, so you can simply climb the stairs at the rear of Soho Village & turn left at the temple.

It will need promotion

New Soho Town Pattaya

 The original market is extremely busy every night but this section was almost deserted when I dined there September 30 2019.

Lots of cooking stations

New Soho Town Pattaya

 In fact more cooking stations than people at this early stage.

Entertainment was very good

New Soho Town Pattaya

 The singer had a nice voice & the volume thankfully was not too loud.

I chose this Saigon kitchen

New Soho Town Pattaya

 The food ranged from average to very good.

Interesting prawn & noodle soup

New Soho Town Pattaya

It looked far better than it tasted, sadly it was rather bland but the prawns were good.

A mixed result here

New Soho Town Pattaya

 The chicken skewers at B10 or .48 AUD each were excellent, the other small rolls were only average. I will certainly return just for the skewers alone. 🙂

I did return 4 days later.

New Soho Town Pattaya

 Enjoyed 4 chicken skewers then took home another 6 for a total cost of B100, or $4.80 AUD.

 At the moment the staff converge upon you as you arrive due to a lack of customers, no doubt people will come once they know New Soho Town Pattaya exists.

The Temple

New Soho Town Pattaya

 Take off your shoes if you are using the stairs.

This guy is very impressive.

New Soho Town Pattaya

 I’m guessing it’s a Chinese serpent. 🙂

From another angle. 🙂

 With the temple in the background.

Thanks for visiting my New Soho Town Pattaya photo blog. I will return soon, it’s only six or seven minutes walk from where I live in Soi one. Just head for the black circle.
