About Pattaya Floating Market: Tourist attraction southeast of Pattaya featuring craft and food stalls in a lake setting representing all four regions of Thailand. Open 9am-8pm.
The Floating Market itself has plenty of food stalls inside (varying quality, tourist-priced), but if you want a proper sit-down meal nearby, the options are limited — the market sits in a quieter area between Jomtien and Bang Saray. Here are the closest hand-researched restaurants for before-or-after.
