Bang Saray is a village half an hour’s drive from Pattaya, and part of our community lives here. It’s quieter than the city and there are noticeably fewer places to go, but almost all of the ones that exist are good either for work or for an evening by the sea. Below are ten tried and tested ones, each with a note on what it’s good for.
For talk about the village, new finds and questions for the neighbours, join the Bang Saray Community chat (in Russian).
For working during the day
Mahan Coffee: a panoramic view of the bay, next to the sea turtle centre. Quiet, fresh air and reasonable prices: one of the best places for a morning’s work.
La Cremerie Bang Saray: a cosy French bakery popular with expats. Croissants, baguettes, desserts and consistently good coffee. Bright and calm, handy for freelance work in the morning and afternoon.
Dolemo cafe: a small, intimate local café. Quiet, with good coffee, ideal for a short break from work.
Twenty Twenty Fox: a white minimalist building with a green garden. Photo spots, desserts, comfortable seating; quiet on weekdays.
Coco Rodante: a stylish coffee shop by the beach. The signature drink is the Honey Breeze, and the interior is bright and modern. Good for a short work session or a break.
For work and dinner
The Beach Restaurant: right by the sea, with big tables and a breeze. Thai and European food. A quiet place for a laptop during the day, and dinner at sunset in the evening.
21 BAR & BISTRO: a bar and bistro on the beach road, with the sea across the street. Calm during the day, cocktails and dinner in the evening.
Freshella Cafe & Restaurant: fruit smoothies, coffee, Thai and Western food. Works both for daytime work and for a quiet dinner.
Tide Bangsaray: a modern café with a great sea view and nicely presented food. If you want to work in peace, sit on the veranda during the day. Prices are above average: by Bang Saray standards it counts as an upmarket place.
For a big group and families
Aow Talay Seafood: a seafood restaurant with a superb view. Lots of tables, a spacious area, fresh seafood and a children’s playground. A relaxed atmosphere for long get-togethers and dinner with a view.
Coffee on the seafront
Zaleng Cafe’ Bangsaray Beach: a tiny coffee shop under the trees, across the road from the sea. An archived note from June 2026 gives the hours as 09:00–15:00, closed on Tuesdays. There’s espresso, Thai style iced coffee, Americano, cappuccino, latte, mocha, coconut latte, caramel macchiato, matcha coffee, Black Orange and Black Honey Lemon; among the coffee-free drinks there’s cocoa, Milky Caramel, Milky Strawberry, Thai tea latte and matcha. Oatside oat milk cost about 10 ฿ extra at the time. Prices in the post were in the 50–70 ฿ range.
Coffee Slowbar: a red and white mini coffee van by the sea. According to the archive it is open from 06:00 to 12:30 and closed on Wednesdays. The menu had espresso, Americano, latte, cappuccino and mocha, plus Americano with honey, lemon, coconut syrup or orange juice. The non-coffee options included black and lemon tea, matcha, milk green tea, Thai tea, cocoa, coco mint and peach tea. The archived price range is 40–60 ฿, with some drinks at 70 ฿.
Bonus picks from the chat
White Corner: Russian food in the village; the original list noted it as an extra option.
Syrniki and “Bounty” cakes (in Russian): a separate recommendation. The syrniki (curd cheese pancakes) were described as made mostly of curd rather than flour, and the “Bounty” cakes as especially good.
