Soi Buakhao, Pattaya Overview

Soi Buakhao is a happening street located in between South Pattaya and Central Pattaya roads. Situated in the Amphoe Bang Lamung district of Chang Wat Chon Buri province of Southern Thailand Soi Buakhao is popularly known as the quieter sister of the Walking Street of Pattaya. It is not a very busy street yet people looking for some night clubs will find them across the city. Soi Buakhao is a hit amongst foreign tourists because of the reasonable accommodation and night club prices, and the proximity to major tourist sites of Pattaya.

Besides these, you will also find affordable massage parlours, food joints, and shopping places in Soi Buakhao. It is said that Soi Buakhao never sleeps and has entirely two different shades in the morning and night. The thriving and inexpensive atmosphere of Soi Buakhao makes it an easy-to-go destination if you ever think of visiting Pattaya.

Soi Buakhao Market

Soi Buakhao Market is known to be one of the busiest local markets of Pattaya. It operates only on Tuesdays and Fridays, which makes the entire street vacant on other days of the week. Soi Buakhao has a range of products at very affordable prices. From souvenirs to clothing items like T-shirts, jeans, Thai silk items, handbags, shoes, and sunglasses. Besides these, you will also find shops selling local fruits, spices, plants, vegetables, pets, and gold jewellery.

The market is in a restricted location where you will usually find densely packed shops with canvas roofs and barely at a distance of 50 cm away from other shops. But you will also find some good low-cost cafes and street vendors around the edges of the market, which makes it a bustling tourist market. The best way to get a handful of products at reasonable prices is a bit of skilful haggling.
