About
Café Amazon is Thailand’s answer to Starbucks — bigger, cheaper and far more widespread. Founded in 2002 by the state energy firm PTT (now its retail arm PTT OR) to sell coffee at its petrol stations, it grew into the country’s dominant coffee chain, with more than 4,000 branches in Thailand and over 5,000 worldwide, and revenue that overtook Starbucks in Thailand back in 2018. The green-and-yellow, rainforest-themed shops are a fixture of Thai daily life, and Pattaya is no exception: you’ll pass branches on the main roads, in the malls, at the hospitals and at just about every PTT station in and around town, including this Central Pattaya location.
What to order
This is iced-coffee territory. The signature “Amazon” iced espresso and the sweet, milky blended coffees are the big sellers, alongside iced cocoa, Thai tea, matcha and fruit coolers built for the heat. There’s a modest line of pastries and snacks if you want something to go with it. The house style is sweet and Robusta-forward, so if you prefer things less sugary, ask for reduced sugar or syrup when you order. Prices are the draw — most drinks sit in the 50–90 baht band.
Good to know
Why stop: it’s cheap, reliable, air-conditioned and everywhere — the easy default for an affordable cold caffeine hit, with WiFi and seating at the bigger branches.
Know before you go: it isn’t specialty coffee, and the experience varies by branch — a smart standalone café with comfy seating is a different thing from a takeaway kiosk at a petrol pump. For a serious flat white, seek out Pattaya’s independent roasters instead.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
Café Amazon is Thailand's home-grown coffee giant — the green-and-yellow, jungle-themed chain you'll see on practically every corner and in every PTT petrol station across Pattaya. Launched in 2002 by the Thai energy company PTT (now PTT OR) as a way to keep drivers caffeinated at its filling stations, it has since exploded into the country's biggest coffee brand by a distance, with well over 4,000 outlets in Thailand alone (and 5,000-plus worldwide), and it famously overtook Starbucks in Thai revenue back in 2018. In Pattaya you're never far from a branch: freestanding drive-thrus, petrol-station kiosks, and units inside malls, hospitals and office buildings, including this Central Pattaya location. The appeal is simple — reliable, cheap, cold caffeine. Most drinks land in the 50–90 baht range, and the sweet, milky iced coffees (the signature 'Amazon' iced espresso, plus iced cocoa, Thai tea, matcha and fruit coolers) are what keep the queues moving in the heat; a small range of pastries and snacks rounds it out. It's not third-wave specialty coffee, and the roast is Robusta-forward and often on the sweet side, but as a dependable, air-conditioned pit-stop for an affordable iced drink, Café Amazon is hard to beat.

Frequently asked questions
What is Café Amazon?
Café Amazon is Thailand's largest coffee chain, started in 2002 by the energy company PTT (now PTT OR) inside its petrol stations. It has grown to more than 4,000 outlets in Thailand and 5,000-plus worldwide, recognisable by its green-and-yellow jungle branding. It's the default everyday coffee stop for millions of Thais.
How much is coffee at Café Amazon?
It's cheap. Most drinks fall in the 50–90 baht range, with a basic iced coffee around the lower end and blended or specialty drinks higher. That's noticeably less than Starbucks and the Western chains, which is a big part of its appeal.
What should I order at Café Amazon?
The crowd-pleasers are the iced coffees — the signature 'Amazon' iced espresso and sweet, milky blends — plus iced cocoa, Thai tea, matcha and fruit coolers for the heat. There are pastries and light snacks too. If you don't want it sweet, ask for less sugar or syrup, as the default leans sweet.
Where can I find Café Amazon in Pattaya?
Almost everywhere — freestanding drive-thru shops, PTT petrol-station kiosks, and outlets inside malls, hospitals and office buildings right across Pattaya, Jomtien and Naklua, including this Central Pattaya branch. If you're driving, the petrol-station branches are the easiest to pull into.
Does Café Amazon have WiFi and seating?
The standalone and mall branches usually have air-conditioned seating and WiFi, making them a decent spot to cool off or get a little work done. Petrol-station kiosks are more grab-and-go. Facilities vary by location, so it's worth checking the specific branch.
Is Café Amazon good coffee?
It's dependable, cheap and everywhere, rather than specialty-grade. The beans are Robusta-forward and drinks are typically sweet and iced — great as an affordable everyday cooler, less so if you're after a nuanced flat white. For that, Pattaya's independent third-wave cafés are a better bet.
