Seafood Festival 2018 | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

May 8, 2018 by David Herd

So much seafood & such little time.

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 was a noisy affair as usual. There is a bandstand on the beach which blasts very ordinary music until the early hours of the morning. My condo is on the 20th floor 400 meters away & the sound hits me full blast even with the door closed. 🙂

Beach Road Pattaya

One of the bigger kitchens along Beach Road.

Prawns, crab & shell fish

A good variety & freshly cooked.

Big variety of meat including crocodile. 🙂

I’m surprised there is no snake or buffalo. 🙂

One of the many stalls lined along Beach Road.

Here is my favourite shot

A typical spontaneous Thai smile, no wonder we love living here.

Time for a mango shake

Another huge benefit of living in Thailand, the mangoes are wonderful.

OK, I’m confused…..

I have no idea what these bamboo tubes are for.

Busy ladies here on Beach Road

The festival runs for 5 nights and really draws the crowds.

I dined at the same place last year.

In 2017 the food here was great so I decided to give it another whirl.

Small but tasty

I chose 2 dishes from their signature menu, the one above was fine at B159 or $5 USD.

This one not so good.

The calamari was as tough as an old boot & the filling was very average indeed. I would have been better off at one of the smaller stalls.

Thanks for visiting my Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 photo blog.
