About Soi Buakhao: Soi Buakhao runs north-south through Central Pattaya, parallel to and one block inland from Pattaya Sai 2 (Second Road). Known as a long-term-expat residential hub.
Soi Buakhao is one of Pattaya's most beloved eating streets — not for tourist destinations but for everyday excellence. The expat density supports kitchens that have to be consistently good to survive. You'll find German bier halls, real Indian, Thai mom-and-pop, decent pizza, and the city's most-praised morning market.

Pro tip: Soi Buakhao mornings (5:30-9:00) are when the food is at its best and most local. The street market that runs along the south end has the city's best jok and patongo. By midday it's a different street — most morning vendors are gone, and the German/Indian/Western restaurants take over.
