December 20, 20223 yr This is about 300 metres behind Central Marina on a wide boulevarde. I don't know the name of the street. I see there's also an Indian veg. restaurant at one end open till 10 which is good because the Thail restaurants around this district don't have much in the way of veg. It advertises a buffet for 200 baht.
December 21, 20223 yr Used to be used for parking many of the coaches that infested Pattaya before Covid.......... So if/when they are back that's potentially more parking issues.
December 21, 20223 yr Could be temporary. There used to be one put up in the Avenue at holiday periods.

There is also electrical infrastructure and fixed signage that looks sort of permanent. There is a huge vacant lot between there and Central Marina which has been newly cleared.

December 21, 20223 yr I don't see much in the way of washing facilities on the stalls, or is that not an option for street food vendors.

December 21, 20223 yr It's Soi Phettrakul and there's some constructions at the other end of the tents that appear to be more than just temporary. The banner outside from over a month ago.
December 21, 20223 yr No its a step up from a local food market Food vendors and a non food section, seating/eating area, car park. More like Thepprasit but with money spent on it & open all week. Worth earmarking for a visit IMHO

My friend had a bar next to the Police station on beach road, that got cleared to make way for Central. He moved into a new bar complex that had been built on 2nd road. A year later that was demolished and he got divorced. Things go up and down here quicker than the proverbial.

December 22, 20223 yr I think the land belongs/belonged to the police (no links, sorry). This is similar to the set up on Soi Excite and I think it will be mostly frequented by East Asians. A lot of Koreans used to stay round that area pre-Covid. It has been about 6 months in the making so not intended to be temporary. Edited December 22, 20223 yr by champers
December 26, 20223 yr Author Starting to open up but as yet few stalls occupied. The Dee Budget Hotel across the street is now also open.
