TONIGHT'S PICKDesk verified 12 Oct 2026
Typically 4pm–1am

Budget AlternativeSheltered tables at Pattaya Beer Garden or covered LK Metro bars, or a 10-baht songthaew to a hotel bar if sois pond.
Map & Grab HintHilton Pattaya on Beach Road; short songthaew or Grab from central areas. LK Metro around Soi Buakhao as backup.
