Where to eat in Pattaya Funtown

While the fresh, tasty seafood is certainly a major attraction for Rim Talay, it is the location on Wongamat Beach which takes some beating. Insulated from the sights and sounds of Pattaya Beach by a small headland, it allows diners to relax in tranquil surroundings, either on the open terrace or down on the sand – sometimes no more than a metre from the lapping sea.

Opening Hours: 09:00 – 23:00 Location: Soi 18, Pattaya-Naklua Road, Naklua Tel: +66 (0)3 842 6375
