Night Markets in Pattaya: Locations, Opening Hours & Food
From massive weekend sprawls to small daily street food strips
Pattaya's night markets range from massive weekend food-and-shopping sprawls to small daily street-food strips. Here's a real breakdown of where to find them, when they run and what to eat.
1Thepprasit Road Night Market
Location: Thepprasit Road, South Pattaya, between Sois 8 to 10.
Hours: Friday to Sunday, roughly 4pm or 5pm to 10pm, 11pm or midnight, sources genuinely vary here, plan for 5pm to 11pm as a safe middle estimate.
Food: Widely named the best all-round street food market in Pattaya, with grilled skewers, steamed seafood, fried pancakes, spicy papaya salad and Thai basil stir-fry all readily available.
Getting there: Bolt or Grab from Beach Road, roughly 120 to 180 THB each way.
2Jomtien Night Market
Location: Along Jomtien Beach, South Pattaya.
Hours: Daily, roughly 4pm or 5pm to 10:30pm or 11pm, again with some variance between sources.
Food: A properly authentic, local-leaning market with street food and beachwear stalls side by side, popular with residents rather than just tourists.
Getting there: Walking distance if you're staying in Jomtien, otherwise a short Grab or Bolt ride from central Pattaya.
3Pattaya Night Bazaar
Location: Second Road, opposite Central Festival and the Hilton Pattaya.
Hours: Daily, roughly 5pm or 6pm to midnight, though one source lists it operating as early as 11am with stalls getting busy from late afternoon.
Food: A smaller food selection here compared to the street markets, this is primarily a shopping bazaar for clothing, souvenirs and knockoff bags and shoes, with the advantage of being indoors and protected from heat or rain.
Getting there: Walking distance from most central Pattaya hotels.

Confirm locally before planning around it
4TreeTown Food Zone
Location: Soi Buakhao, central Pattaya.
Hours: Roughly 4pm to midnight.
Food: Not a traditional market, TreeTown is a cluster of food stalls, beer bars and open-air seating with high stall turnover, keeping food fresh. A solid choice if you're already out drinking on Soi Buakhao and want a late-night snack.
5Pratumnak Night Market
Location: Pratumnak Alley, Banglamung District, Chonburi.
Hours: Daily, 7pm to 11pm.
Food: One of the liveliest and busiest markets, specifically known for seafood and marine cuisine given its coastal setting, alongside a mix of local and international food stalls.
6Pattaya Floating Market (Four Regions Floating Market)
Location: 451/304 Moo 12, Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya.
Hours: Daily, roughly 9am to 8pm.
Food: Covering 100,000 square metres, this market is packed with a wide variety of Thai street food served from traditional boats, a properly photogenic, cultural stop rather than a strictly late-night venue. Entry runs around 200 THB.
7Made in Thailand Market (Wat Chai Mongkhon)
Location: Off Thepprasit Road, near Wat Chai Mongkhon temple, South Pattaya.
Hours: Friday to Sunday, roughly 4pm to 10pm.
Food: Specifically described as bigger than Soi Buakhao and truly family-friendly, combining food stalls with a broader shopping mix.
Getting there: Bolt or Grab from central Pattaya, roughly 100 to 160 THB.
8Naklua Morning Market
Location: Naklua, North Pattaya, around Naklua Soi 16.
Hours: Weekend mornings, roughly 6am to 11am for the morning session, with some sources also noting a Saturday to Sunday afternoon window of 4pm to 9pm.
Food: A distinctly dual-purpose market, best known for local breakfast food and fresh seafood in the morning session specifically.
Getting there: Bolt or Grab from central Pattaya, roughly 120 to 180 THB.

Practical tips
Bring cash specifically for every market visit. Virtually every night market stall in Pattaya operates cash-only, card payment is rarely an option.
Time a Thepprasit or Made in Thailand visit for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday specifically. Both only run on those days, not throughout the week.
Choose Pattaya Night Bazaar if the weather is poor. It's specifically the only major market on this list that's indoors and protected from rain or heat.
Confirm current opening hours directly with your hotel or a local source before building an evening around one specific market. Several markets show real hour discrepancies across different guides.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Soi Buakhao Night Market runs every day of the week, sources genuinely conflict here, some list it daily, others specifically only Tuesdays and Fridays, confirm locally before planning around it.
- Visiting Thepprasit or Made in Thailand Market on a weekday, both operate Friday to Sunday only, a weekday trip will find them closed.
- Expecting a full food market experience at Pattaya Night Bazaar, it's primarily a shopping bazaar with a limited food selection compared to the dedicated street food markets.
- Skipping Pattaya Floating Market because it's not open late at night, it closes around 8pm, making it a distinct daytime or early evening stop rather than a late-night market.
