Kiss Food and Drink

Kiss Food & Drink is Pattaya's best-known 24-hour Thai-and-Western diner — a small local chain of open-air, roofed-and-fanned canteens that have been feeding hungry night owls, early risers and budget travellers for years. The flagship branches sit on Pattaya Second Road, one on the Soi Diana corner and one near North Road, with further outlets out on Siam Country Club Road and down in Jomtien, so wherever you are there's usually a Kiss within reach. The formula is simple and dependable: a big menu of Thai staples (pad thai, fried rice with seafood, stir-fries, curries) alongside familiar Western plates (breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches), all at very low prices and served fast around the clock. It's not gourmet — think reliable, generous, cheap canteen food rather than fine dining — but that round-the-clock availability and rock-bottom pricing are exactly why it's a Pattaya institution, whether you're after a post-nightlife plate of noodles at 3am or a cheap breakfast before the beach. The open-air setting is breezy and casual but can be hot and noisy at peak times, and quality varies a little from branch to branch, so the busiest, best-known outlets tend to be the safest bet.

Aroy-Dee Restaurant

Aroy-Dee (Thai for 'delicious') is a long-running, family-run open-front restaurant on Soi New Plaza, the short lane running off Pattaya's busy Second Road opposite Soi 8. It has traded here since around 2011 and built a following as a cheap, reliable all-day kitchen that straddles two menus: proper Thai standards on one side — tom yum goong, green and red curries, papaya salad, stir-fries and one-plate rice and noodle dishes — and a Western comfort list on the other, running from big breakfasts and sandwiches to burgers, steaks and thin-crust pizzas. That breadth is the whole point: it is the place a mixed group of Thai partners, curious tourists and long-stay expats can all order what they want at prices that stay well under the beach-road tourist traps. Most Thai dishes land in the low-to-mid hundreds of baht, breakfasts and pizzas a little more. The setting is honest rather than pretty — an open-sided shophouse space right on a lively, sometimes noisy corner near the bar sois, with fans rather than full air-conditioning, so it suits people who like watching the street go by more than those chasing a cool, quiet dinner. Service is friendly and quick, English is spoken, and it stays open late, which makes it a handy pre- or post-night-out refuel in the heart of central Pattaya.

Cheap Charlies

Cheap Charlie's is exactly what the name promises: a no-frills Soi Buakhao restaurant and bar that has become an expat institution for rock-bottom Western and Thai food that is actually decent. The headline act is the English breakfast — the small 'Chaplin' fry-up has traded at 89–119 baht, a price that gets it namechecked in every budget-Pattaya video on YouTube — but the long menu runs through burgers, sandwiches, ribs, roasts and a full page of Thai standards, most of it in generous portions. It opens early for breakfast and keeps serving until around midnight, with beer at beer-bar prices, so it functions as diner by day and cheap bar by night. The crowd is heavily expat and returning visitors, with a rotating cast of regulars at the outdoor tables watching Soi Buakhao go by. Nobody comes for the decor, which is basic plastic-and-strip-light Pattaya; you come because feeding two people well for 300 baht in central Pattaya is increasingly rare. The brand has spun off branches (Jomtien, the Darkside), but this Soi Buakhao original is the one people mean.
