Within roughly ten kilometres of Bang Saray you’ll find shops for everyday essentials as well as places to explore on a full day out. We’ve gathered every place from the community’s guide post. The descriptions reflect an archived list from December 2024: check timetables, tickets, access rules and the state of each place before you go.
Shopping and markets
Makro and Big C: two hypermarkets next to each other.
Lotus’s Sattahip: a hypermarket in Sattahip.
700 Rai Market: a big weekend market with clothes and all sorts of goods.
Lotus Go Fresh: a small shop near Sukhumvit Road. The original list marked it as handy, although at the time it wasn’t labelled on the maps.
Dog Enjoy Sattahip: a large pet shop.
Flower shop: the archived list noted it as a place with modern bouquets, not just the traditional “temple” ones. It’s best to ask in the chat for the exact shop.
With children and out for a walk
Columbia Pictures Aquaverse: a water park on Sukhumvit Road. Before you go, check the current opening hours, the map and the visitor rules.
Ramayana Water Park: an older, well-established and popular water park.
Baby Children Cafe: a two-storey indoor play area for children. In December 2024 a day pass cost 250 ฿; the price and format need checking.
Nong Nooch botanical garden: a big park for a long walk.
Khao Chi Chan Buddha: a mountain with a golden image of the Buddha, a local landmark.
Swiss Sheep Farm Pattaya: a farm with walking areas and photo spots; the original post called it partly abandoned.
Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary: an elephant sanctuary. Before you visit, make a point of checking how contact with the animals works and what the current conditions are.
Beaches and the sea
Ban Amphur Beach: a quiet beach with a children’s playground.
Sai Kaew Beach: a beach on a military base with a beautiful lagoon. The archive lists 100 ฿ for an adult and 50 ฿ for a child, but here it’s especially important to check access, documents, the route and prices in advance.
Dancing Princess Beach: a beach further away, described in the list as clean and free, under military control. Don’t rely on old entry conditions: check them before you go.
Food and an evening out
Dailychic Burger: a burger place with good prices; according to the archived note, it isn’t very conveniently located.
Barmony Jazz Bar: a cosy jazz bar; live music was advertised at weekends. For the current programme, it’s best to check with the bar itself.
If you’re planning a day out, start with the map and pick two or three places rather than trying to cover everything. For fresh recommendations and tips from neighbours, head to the Bang Saray chat (in Russian).
