Central Pattaya: The Beachfront Mall in the Heart of Pattaya
Still known to many as Central Festival Pattaya Beach, Central Pattaya is the city's best-known shopping mall, right on Beach Road and facing the sea. Opened in 2009, it brings together international brands, restaurants, a cinema and entertainment under one roof: the perfect stop for shopping, a long lunch, or simply escaping the midday heat or a tropical shower.
What to Find
Shopping: more than 350 shops, from international fashion and beauty brands to sportswear, electronics and Thai design, plus a Central department store and a supermarket.
Dining: restaurants, cafés and spacious food courts on several floors, from Thai street-food classics to international cuisine, many with views over Pattaya Bay.
Entertainment: on the upper floors, a large cinema with premium formats including 4D, bowling and an arcade zone, ideal for families and groups on a rainy afternoon.
Sunset with a view: the Hilton Pattaya sits directly above the mall. Its rooftop bar is one of the most popular spots in the city to watch the sun set over the bay.
