• Pattaya - Lunchtime in Pattaya is the culinary heart of the Chonburi coastline, with Naklua being the birthplace of the region’s flavors each morning. While the southern crowds are just starting their day, the charcoal here is already burning brightly, and the first stockpots are bubbling away.

Our tasting tour, featuring over 15 samples, offers guests a culinary adventure through the backstreets of old Pattaya, guided by our team of expert foodie guides.

Before embarking on this journey, it’s important to note that the tour reflects local cuisine, and due to the nature of street food vendors, we cannot accommodate all dietary restrictions. Here’s an honest overview to ensure no one is disappointed:

✖️Vegetarians will have 3-4 fewer tastings due to limited options at some vendors.

✖️Not suitable for severe allergies, due to potential traces and cross-contamination.

• Na Kluea - This area is untouched by tourism, featuring only the creak of wooden lanes and the scent of grill smoke wafting through this historic fishing enclave.

Start at a 40-year-old shophouse with a bowl of tom yum noodle soup—a tangy broth infused with toasted chili and lime, where roasted peanuts crunch alongside the smooth texture of hand-pulled rice noodles. Watch as jaeng-lon fish-cake skewers are grilled over glowing embers, releasing a fragrant blend of red curry paste and kaffir lime.

• Lan Pho Na Kluea Market - Move to a small eatery where a couple, united by their escape from Bangkok’s hustle, serves a vegetarian feast. Forget bland—this is isaan larb moo jay bursting with fresh lime and mint, and golden tofu tossed in a savory salt-and-chili mix. From there, your local foodie guide navigates through old shopfronts and narrow alleys, passing steaming metal towers to find a soft bbq pork bun.

Take a seat for beef brisket slow-cooked in a mor fai pot, immersed in a rich broth of cinnamon and star anise. Follow it with a chilled roselle hibiscus juice—a bright, floral refreshment—before heading into the Lan Pho Na Kluea ‘Old Market’. This is the district’s seafood center, where the day’s catch is still lively on the scales.

• Na Kluea - Through a hidden alley, discover the ghost-map of ‘Old Pattaya’. Once a legal opium den filled with vice, it’s now a quiet corridor of sun-bleached teak. Pay respects at the Chaomae Thapthim Shrine, where local fishermen still pray for safety before venturing into the Gulf.

Enjoy a local favorite: jor pu crab meat rolls, crispy on the outside, paired with a preserved plum soda—a salty-sweet punch that also serves as a savory dipping sauce. With over 15 tastings packed into our four-hour tour, this is a showcase of the coast’s best-kept culinary secrets.

• Pattaya - Conclude the morning’s walk with a maritime feast at a harbor-side retreat. Enjoy squid sautéed in a deep-sea ink emulsion, and fried king mackerel served with a sharp green mango salad. End with lod chong—vibrant green pandan jellies in a slush of crushed ice and coconut cream. It’s the final, refreshing tribute to a day spent exploring off-the-beaten-path.

This is the raw, midday energy of Pattaya. Beyond the tourist paths, witness the resilient spirit of a fishing community standing firm against a backdrop of resort towers. It’s an invitation to dine with the families who built this town, one bowl at a time. Come for the heat, stay for the history, and leave with a taste of the authentic Chonburi.
