Pattaya Shopping

Pattaya offers many kinds of shopping. You can imagine it is from bustling open-air markets that sell food and non-food items, noisy night markets, street stalls/vendors and local shops to western style department stores, supermarkets and upmarket specialist shops. Although many of the shops are small, some open-air without air-conditioning, there are plenty of shops and services available in Pattaya and they all welcome barganing. While department stores, supermarkets and malls hold a lot of product items but bargaining is not allowed. Most shops usually open late morning and close late at night. Department stores, supermarkets and malls tend to open earlier.

Shopping in Pattaya area can be very different from shopping in your country. You probably won't find the same selection but because of the relatively high proportion of farangs here, a reasonable choice of products is now on sale. The larger department stores, supermarkets and malls are usually near the centre of the towns and many of the outlying shopping areas consist of small shops called shop-houses.

Shop-houses are a combination shop and home for the owner. The shop is on street level and the family lives in the rooms at the back and above the shop. They are usually fully open in the front with a variety of goods ranging from cooking needs to cleaning products. When they close, the shutters slide down and cover the shop front.

Pattaya Floating Market By Richard Barrow
When I first heard about the Four Regions Floating Market in Pattaya, I just thought that we would be getting another tacky and artificial tourist attraction built just to bring in the tourist dollars. There are not really that many authentic floating markets around. The famous one at Damnoen Saduak was recreated in order to cater for foreign tourists. It is situated on the site of a much older floating market that was abandoned years ago when people started going to local supermarkets by car. However, we now have an alternative that was specifically built as a floating market. The recent soft opening of the Pattaya Floating Market has already made it one of the best and biggest floating markets in Thailand. The floating market is just south of Pattaya on Sukhumwit Road. It is open daily from 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. If you are planning a trip to Pattaya then I strongly urge that you visit this floating market. http://www.pattayafloatingmarket.com/
