Rimpa Lapin is the iconic clifftop Thai restaurant carved into Pratumnak Hill, with terraced seating that drops dramatically toward Pattaya Bay. Sunset is its hour. The menu is broad, accessible Thai - tom yum, green curry, deep-fried sea bass with three-flavor sauce - and while the food is solid rather than spectacular, the view alone earns its reputation. Go for golden hour, stay for the lights of the bay.
