Thepprasit Road in Pattaya
Thepprasit Road in Pattaya connects Sukhumvit Road to Thapparaya Road. A street that has a lot to offer in all kinds of areas.
If one were to enter the street from the Sukhumvit side, a new Chinese Mall is currently being built on the right, while the previous outlet on this site has died after four years, despite the grand opening at the time. On the left is the well-known Outlet Mall with well-known brand items and a large market next to it. The first part has one floor, accessible by an escalator. Quite special for an open air market. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, a huge market unfolds in front of the two condos. The first part focuses on food products in the broadest sense of the word. The second part in front of the two condos is characterized by a wide range of clothing, shoes, watches, jewelery and cosmetics.
If we drive further up Thepprasit Road, a second market (left) can be visited opposite the PTT gas station. This market is characterized by all kinds of articles intended for collectors and enthusiasts of "loose" goods Buddha objects in addition to used watches and electronics, but also used clothing and shoes. Fun to poke around.
Continuing along the Thepprasit Road, one passes an array of small businesses. Too much to mention, everyone can find something there for repair or new, printing and plants and corsages.
Then you will see the Colosseum theater on the left. One of the newest theaters in Pattaya in the area with a Ladyboy Show. Crowds vary depending on the season, but three shows are performed every night from 18.00pm. A spacious parking lot is located in front of the theater, so that it does not overload other traffic.
Just past this theater is the large covered Ratakorn Market. A relatively young market, opened in 2013 and well stocked with fresh products such as fruit, vegetables, eggs and meat. Not only the wholesaler is here at 5 o'clock in the morning, the regular customer can also come here. Several restaurants have also established themselves. Around the market you will find the various street vendors and you can already enjoy a Pad Thai for 40 baths. After the shows, you can also sometimes find the artists from the Colosseum for a quick and tasty bite.
If you drive a little further you will see it on the right side Kan theater with shows from Thailand's history. The main character Kaan gets caught up in the mythological stories from ancient Thai books. By using modern techniques, the most fantastic things can be depicted. A number of elephants and a horse also play a role in this whole. If someone is tired of the large amount of options in Pattaya and the surrounding area, then this is another option to visit.
