Marlena M
★★★★★6 months agoCentral Pattaya (Central Pattaya) is an amazing shopping mall and definitely a must-visit while in Pattaya. It offers a huge variety of international and local brands, great restaurants, cafés, and entertainment options all in one place. The mall is modern, clean, and very well organized. I especially loved the food court and restaurants with ocean views — perfect for a break after shopping. There are also cinemas, coffee shops, and plenty of places to relax. The location is excellent, right by the beach and easy to reach from anywhere in Pattaya. Whether you want shopping, dining, or just to escape the heat, Central Pattaya is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!

★★★★★Edited 11 months agoThe mall has a strategic location because you can enjoy the sunset in front of it. Yesterday, I didn't explore much because I was only on the ground floor, but the mall is spacious and the yard is very beautiful🌸
