How many cuisines are covered by the Pattaya Restaurant Guide?
The guide tracks 22 cuisines across all 901 restaurants (51 on The Pattaya 50 — from Thai street food to French tasting menus, with everything from Italian, Japanese, German, Korean, Indian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Russian, and more in between.
How does the guide pick the best Italian / Japanese / Thai etc. in Pattaya?
Each cuisine has its own ranked shortlist. Restaurants are visited anonymously, paid for at our own expense, and ranked by craft, consistency, value, and return frequency. Read the editorial standards.
Are the cuisine lists updated regularly?
Yes. The current rankings are Issue V · May 2026. Lists are reshuffled every issue.
What's the difference between the cuisine lists and the Pattaya 50?
The Pattaya 50 is the master ranking across all cuisines. The cuisine lists are sub-rankings — useful when you've decided you want Thai or Japanese specifically. The same editorial method applies.
Can restaurants pay to appear on a cuisine list?
No. The guide does not sell placement. No restaurant has paid to appear on any list — including the cuisine pages.
