Pattaya's Central Shopping Mall

Pattaya has been long trying to clean up its image and boast itself as a 5 star family resort. Central Shopping Mall here in Pattaya definitely backs that up. Stretching from the beach to 2nd Rd Central is the biggest thing Pattaya has seen in terms of high end shopping. So whats the big deal?

It has a huge car park, where you can even drop your car off to be professionally detailed while you eat, shop or catch a movie. Starting at the bottom and working its way up is a  basement with open food court, market, a few shops, and Burger King. Outside on the beach is Zico's, a Brazillian style all you can eat BBQ which runs around 550 Baht per person. 

Levels 1-5 has just about everything you could ask for from high end electronics, cameras, top name brand clothing, sporting goods and fitness shops, Starbucks, Japanese food, Korean food, Italian food, bakerys, all you can eat buffets, ice cream shops, even the towns only Carls JR, all situated in a very elegant open design. There is a kids area and mini arcade, and  even the Central World Store itself which i think goes up 5 floors. 

On the 6th level is a game area, 4D motion rides and a 5 star cinema with a variety of seating including Bangkok style VIP seats.  Just off to the left is probably the best bowling alley in town.

The new Hyatt Hotel sits a top it all. I have heard they have one of the best buffets and Sunday brunch in town but have not yet made it up there.

It was only 10 years ago you really had only  Royal Garden or Big C in terms of malls with a selection of western and Thai restaurants, coffee shops and cinema. 

Then came The Avenue on 2nd Rd. An outdoor garden style shopping plaza and certainly a facelift to Pattaya's 2nd Rd. Unfortunately this was to be short lived. New shop and business owners rushed to get in on this new high class venture and opened a bowling alley, "Major Cineplex" - by far Pattaya's best theatre at the time, and complete with Starbucks, Mc Donalds, Book Shops, Apple store and a branch of the then high class fitness chain "California Wow".  

Although Pattaya has definitely emerged i still miss the charm the old Pattaya used to have but i guess all good things change at some point.

This video below i found on You Tube kind of gives you a tour and feel for it

Weather in Pattaya is just perfect right now!


You simply could not ask for better weather in Pattaya or most of Thailand for that matter. 

Daytime temps have been averaging about 30-31c or roughly 85f with relatively low humidity. Skies have fluctuated between hazy sunshine and clear blue! Nights have been very pleasant at around 23c or 73f.
  
This is my favorite time of year here in Thailand. With virtually no rain and comfortable temperatures i find myself taking far more bike rides somtimes making them into full day trips. Also spend more time enjoying the beaches not so much here in Pattaya but taking a ride down to Bang Sarae or heading off to Koh Larn. Nights are perfect to hang out with friends at outdoor bars and enjoy a few -- not usually quiet -- drinks together.

Bangkok has been averaging around 32c or 87f during the day and 25c or 75f at night. Chaing Mai has been very mild at night around 18c or 65f and warming up nicely to around 32c or 88f. Phuket and Koh Samui have also been sunny and mild


Good news is this weather is supposed to stick around a while. With a rainy season that lasted well into December, Thailands old man winter took a little longer to arrive and according to this article i read it looks like the cold season should last until the end of February with a possible exception for the south of Thailand where temps in Koh Samui, Krabi and Phuket may warm up a bit earlier.

If you ever wanted to get an idea of how big of an area Pattaya covers you should check out his video i found on You Tube taken from a Cessna 172 Sightseeing tour
