  • Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Opens in Pattaya

    Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Opens in Pattaya

    Gordon Ramsay Street Burger has opened in Pattaya, bringing the internationally known chef’s burger concept to the city for its second location in Thailand.

    The restaurant opened on July 17, 2026, at again PATTAYA, opposite Terminal 21. Its arrival is notable not simply because another burger restaurant has opened, but because Street Burger’s first Thai location is at Siam Paragon in Bangkok, one of the country’s best-known luxury shopping destinations.

    For Pattaya, getting the brand’s second Thai location is an interesting development as the city continues to attract increasingly recognisable international food and hospitality brands.

    Gordon Ramsay Street Burger in Pattaya

    The Pattaya branch occupies a relatively narrow unit at again PATTAYA, with a small number of seats downstairs alongside the open kitchen and additional seating on the terrace outside. The main dining area is upstairs, where booth seating and a large front window make the space considerably lighter and more spacious.

    The interior follows Street Burger’s contemporary style, combining modern finishes with graffiti and pop-art elements.

    The food is essentially what you’d expect from an upmarket burger concept: substantial burgers and sides using quality ingredients, with portions that look appropriately generous rather than small.

    Street Burger Pattaya Menu and Prices

    The Pattaya menu offers a fairly broad selection of burgers, with prices ranging from ฿290 to ฿550.

    At the lower end, the O.G.R. and Next Level burgers are both ฿290. The O.G.R. is the more straightforward option, with an Angus beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, gherkins and Street relish. The Next Level uses a smashed double beef patty with cheddar, gherkins, onion and Sriracha mayonnaise.

    Other options include the Mumbo Chicken at ฿390, the Hell’s Kitchen at ฿420 and the Truffle Burger at ฿450. At ฿550, the Idiot Burger and Chilli Cheese Smash Burger sit at the top of the main burger range.

    Sides include fries, onion rings, calamari, mac and cheese and several versions of dirty fries, with prices from ฿70 for Street Slaw to ฿250.

    A Pattaya-only burger

    Perhaps the most interesting item on the menu for visitors is the Soft Shell Crab Burger (฿420), part of the restaurant’s Gordon’s Thai Tastes selection.

    It combines deep-fried battered crab with roasted capsicum and onion and a sweet chilli curry sauce. The menu specifically describes it as “Here for a short time only”, so anyone particularly interested in trying it may not want to leave it until their next visit.

    The drinks menu is broader than you might expect from a burger restaurant, with cocktails, beer, mocktails, coffee, soft drinks and a selection of milkshakes also available.

    Where is Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Pattaya?

    Gordon Ramsay Street Burger is located at D103, Shop 103, again PATTAYA, 179/99 Moo 5, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150, directly opposite Terminal 21.

    The restaurant is open seven days a week:

    • Monday–Thursday: 11:00–22:30
    • Friday: 11:00–00:00
    • Saturday–Sunday: 08:00–00:00

    For the full address, contact details, social media links and other practical information, see our Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Pattaya venue guide.

    The arrival of Street Burger adds another internationally recognised name to Pattaya’s increasingly diverse food scene. Whether the brand’s expansion into Pattaya proves to be the beginning of a wider push into the city remains to be seen, but having the second Thai location here – following its high-profile debut at Siam Paragon – is certainly an interesting development.

  • What’s New in Pattaya – August 2026: New Attractions, Bars & Venues

    What’s New in Pattaya – August 2026: New Attractions, Bars & Venues

    Pattaya’s restaurant and nightlife scene never seems to stand still, and August 2026 has brought another batch of new venues, new concepts and some big-name arrivals.

    From a Gordon Ramsay burger joint and a new 90s-themed restaurant in Jomtien to new bars, sports venues and a three-storey entertainment complex on Walking Street, here’s what’s new in and around Pattaya this month.

    Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Comes to Pattaya

    One of the biggest food openings of the year has arrived in Pattaya, with Gordon Ramsay Street Burger now open at Again Pattaya.

    The Pattaya restaurant is the second Street Burger location in Thailand, following the brand’s Bangkok outlet at Siam Paragon. The menu features Gordon Ramsay’s signature burgers, with the Pattaya location also offering an exclusive Soft Shell Crab Burger.

    Located at Again Pattaya, the restaurant is open seven days a week, with later hours on Fridays and weekends.

    See our Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Pattaya venue guide for the location, opening hours, contact details and what to expect.


    The Party – Walking Street Soi 15

    A new three-storey entertainment complex is preparing to open on Walking Street Soi 15.

    The Party describes itself as “Pattaya’s ultimate adult playground”, with three distinct concepts spread across the building: HEAT a-go-go on the first floor, VOICE karaoke on the second and SPLASH rooftop pool on the third.

    The venue had been promoting an earlier opening during August, but its latest announcement now gives September 9, 2026 as the opening date.

    The Party is the first three-storey venue from its creator, who says he has spent four years in Pattaya developing the concept.


    Brooks Brunch & Bar

    The Bangkok-based Brooks brunch and bar concept has arrived in Pattaya, opening at Grande Centre Point Voyage Pattaya.

    The stylish all-day venue combines brunch, Western and Italian-inspired dishes, drinks and evening entertainment, making it a slightly different proposition from Pattaya’s traditional bar-and-restaurant scene.

    With breakfast and brunch during the day and live music in the evening, Brooks is another new option for visitors staying around the Naklua/Wong Amat area.


    Two Brothers Chill 90’s – Jomtien

    A substantial new restaurant has opened on Jomtien Second Road with a distinctly nostalgic theme.

    Two Brothers Chill 90’s officially opened in August, combining Thai and seafood food with live music and an open-air garden setting featuring extensive fairy lighting.

    The large venue reportedly represents an investment of more than 30 million baht and is designed around a relaxed 1990s atmosphere.

    It’s a particularly interesting new addition to Jomtien’s increasingly varied restaurant and entertainment scene.


    Booties Sports Bar – Pratumnak

    A new sports bar has opened in Pratumnak, offering a combination of live sports, food and drinks in a more relaxed setting.

    Booties Sports Bar opened at the beginning of August and features pool, darts, live sports and an all-day food offering, with opening hours starting in the morning and continuing until late.

    For visitors looking for somewhere to watch sport away from the busiest central Pattaya nightlife areas, it’s another new option to know about.


    CÔTE MAISON – Steak, Wine & Piano

    A new restaurant bringing a more upmarket dining concept to Pattaya held its Grand Opening in August.

    CÔTE MAISON describes itself with the simple combination of steak, wine and piano, offering a more sophisticated dining experience than the typical casual restaurant or bar.

    The restaurant is open from lunchtime through the evening, making it suitable for both lunch and dinner.


    Dream Bar – Soi 7

    There’s another new bar taking shape on Soi 7, next door to Mystic Bar.

    Dream Bar is being developed by the same team behind Mystic and has been undergoing a substantial fit-out, including new LED lighting and a sound system.

    With Mystic Bar having opened earlier this month, Dream Bar is the latest addition to this small stretch of Soi 7 and is expected to open soon.


    Slate Bar & Lounge

    A new bar bringing a distinctly urban feel to Pattaya has arrived on Thap Phraya Road.

    Slate Bar & Lounge held its soft opening on August 27 and uses “New York Flavor” as part of its branding, giving the venue a contemporary urban identity.

    Details are still emerging as the venue settles into operation, but it’s another interesting addition to Pattaya’s growing selection of more modern bar concepts.


    Danny’s Sports Bar – New Soi Buakhao Location

    Danny’s Sports Bar has expanded with a second Pattaya location on Soi Buakhao.

    The new Danny’s @ Pattaya is located just down Soi Buakhao towards Tree Town from the existing Danny’s, making it an addition rather than a replacement for the original venue.

    The new location recently held its soft opening, with free food offered to customers on the opening night.


    Manston’s Market & Cafe

    A new food market and café concept has also appeared in Pattaya, offering British and European food and grocery products alongside a café.

    Manston’s Market & Cafe is aimed at both private customers and the hospitality trade, making it potentially useful for long-term residents as well as visitors looking for familiar British and European products.

    It’s a slightly different type of addition to Pattaya’s food scene, but one that could prove particularly useful to the city’s large expat community.


    Lucky 11 Bar – Central Market

    A new bar has opened at Central Market on Second Road, adding another pool and sports venue to the area.

    Lucky 11 Bar features two pool tables and TVs showing live sports, with a relaxed bar atmosphere and food and drinks available. The venue held its Grand Opening Party in August, marking its official arrival on Pattaya’s increasingly busy Second Road bar scene.


    More New Pattaya Venues

    August has once again demonstrated how quickly Pattaya’s food, drink and entertainment scene changes.

    And several of the venues above are still developing their concepts, with more openings expected as we move into September.

    We’ll continue tracking new restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and other developments around Pattaya and adding them to our regular What’s New in Pattaya updates.

  • Pattaya Beach Food Festival 2026: 140 Food Stalls and Live Music Coming in August

    Pattaya Beach Food Festival 2026: 140 Food Stalls and Live Music Coming in August

    Visitors and locals can look forward to a weekend of food, live entertainment and beachfront atmosphere when a new food festival comes to Pattaya Beach this August.

    Scheduled to run from 7-9 August 2026, the three-day event will feature more than 140 food stalls, 10 food trucks, and daily live performances by well-known Thai artists and local musicians, according to Pattaya City officials.

    Although the festival is officially being organised as part of Thailand’s Thailand Food Therapy Festival initiative, visitors can simply expect a large beachfront food market with plenty to eat, live entertainment and a lively atmosphere.

    Pattaya Beach Food Festival 2026 Event Details

    Dates: 7-9 August 2026

    Location: Pattaya Beach

    Admission: No admission fee has been announced, and the event is expected to be free to enter. Visitors would simply pay for any food or drinks they choose to purchase.

    What to Expect

    Organisers say the festival will bring together more than 140 carefully selected food vendors alongside 10 food trucks, showcasing a wide variety of Thai street food and specialty dishes.

    Daily entertainment is also planned, with performances by both nationally known artists and local performers helping to create a festival atmosphere throughout the weekend.

    While a full entertainment programme has not yet been released, additional announcements are expected closer to the event.

    More Than Just Food

    Behind the scenes, the Pattaya Beach Food Festival 2026 forms part of a wider government initiative designed to support Thai street food businesses and promote Pattaya as an international food and wellness tourism destination.

    For most visitors, however, the appeal is much simpler: a chance to enjoy a wide selection of food, live music and a beachfront setting during one of Pattaya’s busiest weekends in August.

    More Information Coming Soon

    At the time of writing, organisers have confirmed the dates and overall format of the event, but several details are still to be announced, including:

    • Opening hours
    • Exact location along Pattaya Beach
    • Entertainment schedule
    • Performing artists

  • EEC Food Runway Pattaya 2026: What to Expect from This Beachfront Food & Night Festival

    EEC Food Runway Pattaya 2026: What to Expect from This Beachfront Food & Night Festival

    If you’re in Pattaya in early May 2026, you may come across something called the EEC Food Runway stretching along the beachfront.

    At first glance, it sounds like a mix of food festival, fashion show, and nightlife event – and that’s basically what it is. But the official descriptions don’t tell you much about what it will actually feel like on the ground. Here’s a practical breakdown of what to expect.


    EEC Food Runway Pattaya 2026 Event Overview

    • Dates: 1 – 4 May 2026
    • Location: Along Pattaya Beach Road (starting near Hard Rock Hotel / Soi 6 area and extending along the beachfront)
    • Theme: “From Local Cuisine to Modern Culinary Fashion”
    • Focus: Food, live music, cultural showcases, and a runway-style competition

    The event is part of a wider “EEC Colors” initiative promoting tourism and local culture across Thailand’s eastern provinces: Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao.


    What This Event Actually Is (In Real Terms)

    Strip away the buzzwords, and this is best understood as: a large-scale beachfront food festival with live music and themed showcases

    Expect:

    • Long rows of food stalls and local vendors
    • Open-air setup (hot during the day, better at night)
    • A mix of Thai visitors and tourists
    • Live performances and staged events in the evenings

    It’s not a high-end or fine dining event, it’s going to be much closer to a night market atmosphere, just on a bigger, more organised scale.


    Food & Vendors

    Organisers mention 120+ vendors, mainly focused on Eastern Thailand. That likely means:

    • Regional Thai dishes (especially seafood and local specialties)
    • Street food-style cooking
    • Community products and local brands

    If you’ve been to Thai night markets before, the setup will feel familiar, just with more emphasis on regional identity.


    The “Food Runway” & Contest

    One of the more unusual elements is the EEC Food Runway Contest (scheduled for May 1).

    Details are limited, but based on similar events in Thailand, this will probably involve:

    • Food presented in creative or stylised ways
    • Performances or themed showcases around cuisine
    • A mix of entertainment and competition rather than serious fashion

    In other words, don’t expect Paris Fashion Week – think creative, slightly quirky, and very Thai in execution.


    EEC Food Runway Pattaya 2026 Live Music Lineup

    All performers are Thai artists, which is a strong sign this event is aimed as much at locals as tourists.

    Confirmed lineup:

    • May 1: YOURMOOD
    • May 2: HERS
    • May 3: Kantong Thungngern
    • May 4: Pla Nin Tem Ban

    This gives each night a bit of a different feel, with evenings likely being the busiest and most atmospheric time to visit.


    What the Crowd Will Be Like

    This is an important point, and one a lot of event listings miss. Because:

    • Promotion is largely in Thai
    • Performers are Thai
    • It’s government-backed

    So expect a strong local turnout, especially in the evenings. This usually usually means:

    • A better atmosphere
    • More authentic food
    • Less of a “tourist-only” feel

    But it also means:

    • It may get crowded
    • Less English signage than typical tourist events

    Best Time to Go

    If you’re planning to check it out: consider going in the evening (recommended)

    • Cooler weather
    • Live music and performances
    • More atmosphere

    Avoid midday if possible:

    • Very hot
    • Less happening beyond food stalls

    Is It Worth Going?

    It’s worth checking out if:

    • You’re already in Pattaya during those dates
    • You enjoy food markets and casual events
    • You want something different from bars and clubs

    Probably not worth planning a trip around if:

    • You’re expecting a premium food festival
    • You prefer structured or high-end events

    Why This Event Exists

    The EEC Food Runway isn’t just a random festival, it’s part of a broader push to:

    • Promote Eastern Thailand tourism
    • Showcase regional food and culture
    • Boost local economies

    So while it’s marketed with big concepts like “culinary fashion,” the real goal is simple: Get people out, eating, and spending along the beachfront


    EEC Food Runway Pattaya 2026 – Final Thoughts

    The Food Runway 2026 looks like one of those events that won’t be life-changing, but could be a fun, easy addition to a night out in Pattaya.

    If you treat it like:

    • A beachfront night market
    • With live music and a bit of creative flair

    …you’ll probably enjoy it.
