Andrew Hararah
★★★★★a year agoDolphin circle is centrally located in Pattaya. On one side is Terminal 21 a large indoor mall with an airport theme. Each floor is based on a famous city. The food court happens to be in Japan and you’ll see plenty of cherry blossoms and Japanese themed shops. There’s also London, Paris, San Francisco, and Rome. The restrooms are worth checking out even if you don’t have to go. Across the street is Dusit Thanya Resort Hotel which is the best place to stay in Pattaya. Many restaurants and shops on one side all walkable and the beach on the fourth side. There’s also a jeepny stop for cheap transportation as well as a taxi stand.

★★★★★7 years agoPerhaps the most lively place in the whole Pattaya City which one should not miss out. On the one side, one can see the best mall in Pattaya "Terminal 21" and the other side goes to Famous Alcazar Show. Very safe place to roam around. 24 x 7 open Familymart and 7/11 stores are located opposite to this mall at the Dolphin Circle. One side of the circle goes to the Pattaya Beach across which various famous hotels are located. So do not miss this if you are planning to go to Pattaya
