01THE VERDICT · WHY IT'S ON THE LIST
NANG NUAL.
Walking Street's veteran seafood house, on the water since 1965 — old enough to be a Pattaya landmark in its own right. You pay the tourist-strip tax and the fish is weighed by the gram, but the sea is at your elbow and a kitchen this old has run out of ways to get it wrong. Come for the institution and the view; weigh your fish before it goes to the kitchen and the bill behaves.

04THE ROOM · WHAT TO EXPECT
THE VIBE.
A seafront dining hall at the loud end of Walking Street.
Ice beds of the day's catch by the door — you pick, they weigh.
White cloths, candlelight, a menu that runs to several languages.
More visitors than locals — this is a destination, not a neighbourhood secret.
Tables on the water go first; the room fills by seven.
05EDITOR'S NOTE · HOW TO EAT HERE
THE PLAY.
3 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Reserve a waterfront table for sunset — they go before the room fills.
- Have your fish weighed and priced before the kitchen takes it; seafood is sold by the gram.
- Budget 900–1,600 THB a head — the bill climbs fast with the larger fish and shellfish.
