Pattaya

Lunchtime in Pattaya is the culinary boiler room of the Chonburi coastline—and Naklua is the place where the region’s flavours are forged every morning. While the crowds down south are just waking up, the charcoal here is already glowing and the first stockpots are at a rolling boil. Our feasting tour of 14+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Pattaya, led by our team of professional foodie guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✖️Vegetarians have 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️Unsuitable for severe allergies, due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

There’s no tourist polish here; only the creak of timber laneways, and the aroma of grill smoke drifting through this centuries-old fishing enclave. Kick things off at a 40-year-old shophouse for a bowl of tom yum noodle soup—a sharp broth spiked with toasted chilli and lime, where the crunch of roasted peanuts meets the silky snap of hand-pulled rice noodles. Witness jaeng-lon fish-cake skewers being blistered over glowing embers, releasing a fragrant core of red curry paste and kaffir lime.
