Pattaya Shopping Malls

Air-conditioned malls, superstores and supermarkets are thriving in Pattaya, making it simple for most tourists to find products like those they would encounter back home. Top of the list is Royal Garden Plaza (Beach Road, between Soi Post Office and Soi Pattayaland 1): a gleaming upscale mall with three floors of trendy boutique clothes shops, chain stores alongside chemists and fast food outlets.Nearby, Mike's Shopping Mall (Beach Road between Sois 11 and 12) is a rather run-down retail labyrinth, featuring shops, a department store, and lots of bazaar stalls selling fabrics, cheap shirts, shoes, belts and souvenirs. Coming soon to an area opposite is 'The Avenue'(Second Road, opposite Soi 11), a swanky street currently being constructed and that's destined to be lined with upmarket boutiques. See 'Malls, Superstore and Supermarkets'for a comprehensive rundown of Pattaya's big league shopping, and where to find it.
