Low cost Pattaya restaurants

Great value at Foodland

Best cheap Pattaya restaurants

Low cost Pattaya restaurants, there are hundreds of them. Lets start with Foodland, a well known supermarket chain in Thailand, in each store you will find an excellent fast food counter. The quality is excellent, the food is always fresh because of the turnover, (it is always crowded) and the price is so cheap, for instance breakfast is about $2, and lunch under $3.

Central Festival food hall

Best cheap Pattaya restaurants

Located in the basement of Pattaya’s most luxurious shopping mall is the food hall. A very cheap fast selection of good food. Always crowded because of the excellent value.

Mango & sticky rice

Best cheap Pattaya restaurants

The food hall at Central Festival shopping mall has a great selection of deserts including a Thai specialty, mango & sticky rice. Yesterday I ordered this after my roast duck with vegetables & steamed rice, including a clear soup for a total cost of 280 Baht or $2.50.

KFC at Central Festival.

I would not normally mention a fast food outlet in my post, however there are exceptions. KFC without a doubt have one of the best views in Pattaya, so while the kids devour their chicken nuggets etc, sit there and soak up the view.

 Beer Garden near Walking St

Best cheap Pattaya restaurants

The Beer Garden offers good low cost food with a wonderful view of Pattaya Bay, a great spot to dine before hitting the bright lights of Walking Street. To find the entrance you must walk past all the bars near the kick boxing. Like most Thai restaurants the menu is a huge selection of western or Thai food.

Dining in a car park.

Agoda is a great place to book your Pattaya hotel.

Oishi Ramen low cost Japanese.

Best Pattaya Japanese restaurants

Oishi Ramen is another chain of very low cost Japanese & Thai food, I have lunch at least twice a week at the Big C mall on 2nd road north Pattaya. The Salmon and salad shown above with bottomless Green Tea costs 220 Baht or $7 usd, great value. More information about Oishi click here.

Oishi Japanese Buffet Restaurant 

Best Pattaya Japanese restaurants

The buffet is excellent value at around 400 Baht or $14, eat as much as you want. I don’t rate the food as highly as Fuji however you can’t beat the value.

Mae Sri Ruen

Low cost Pattaya restaurants 

Mae Sri Ruen is right next door to Central Festival on Beach Rd and serves good fresh Thai food at very low prices. The BBQ pork & dumpling soup is one of my favorites, add spring rolls and the price is 120 Baht or a touch over $4.

Foodland low cost breakfast

Foodland low cost breakfast

Foodland low cost breakfast is the best value in Pattaya & Bangkok, only B65 or $2.70 AUD. This low price is available everyday between 6.30 & 9.30 am. I’m a regular at the Terminal 21 branch in Pattaya.

Very busy prior to Covid-19.

Foodland low cost breakfast

Now due to Covid customers are way down. Often there are only 6 or 7 other people there beside me.

Modern open kitchen.

One thing is for sure, currently with so few customers the breakfast arrives in record time. 🙂

OK, here it is.

Foodland low cost breakfast

Includes orange juice, toast & jam & tea or coffee.

Scrambled eggs this morning

Foodland low cost breakfast

They were excellent. One thing to remember, right now it’s a little difficult to get to the branch at Terminal 21 before the mall opens due to a new carpark being built. You must enter from the back road.

Next door to the restaurant is a supermarket

Foodland low cost breakfast

I often do my shopping after breakfast, sadly however it’s too early to buy booze but 5 minutes down Pattaya Nua is the wholesale part of Best supermarket. 🙂 See more  about this market by following THIS LINK.

An excellent deli

Cost of living Thailand

Cost of living Thailand

Cost of living Thailand

Cost of living Thailand compared to Australia is is quite surprising. As a rough estimate it is around 35% lower in Pattaya which is a beachside city 90 minutes south of Bangkok. I will highlight some examples including services which I would not be able to afford in Australia, such as pedicures & massages. 🙂

Cheap Charlies is a good example, breakfast starts at B89 or $4.84 AUD including tea or coffee.

Located in Soi Buakhao beside the Sutus Court Hotel.

Cha Bear coffee

Diagonally across the road from Cheap Charlies & opposite Sutris Court Hotel, a hot coffee latte is only B40, or $1.68 AUD.

I love a foot massage

Cost of living Thailand

Normal price in Pattaya is B200 for 1 hour, or $8.40 AUD, I usually leave a B60 tip. 

Some parlours in Pattaya Klang have slashed their price to B100, or $4.20 AUD.

Cost of living Thailand

The Covid crisis has forced may to close their doors or offer a discount. This is one of them located near 3rd Rd. The average price in Australia is around $70 as opposed to $8.40.

If you want to spend a little more on breakfast

Cost of living Thailand

This is B175 or $7.36 AUD, naturally the 1/2 avocado & the smoked salmon is the reason at Robin Hood Tavern. 

If you have trouble reaching your toes…..

A pedicure is definitely the answer for B150 or $6.30 AUD + tip.

The view from my studio apartment
