Kraken Lanta — Closed Pratumnak Branch

The Kraken Lanta location on Phra Tam Nak 5 is closed and should not anchor a dining plan. A January 2026 local discussion reports that the Pratumnak Soi 5 burger restaurant had shut, while current search results point to a separate business listing on Naklua Road.

The closed Pratumnak location

OpenStreetMap identifies Kraken Lanta at 12.9108321, 100.8597478. Nominatim places that coordinate on Phra Tam Nak 5 in Pattaya’s 20260 postal area. Those records establish which former branch this page covers.

The map point was edited in August 2024, before the dated closure report. Its presence is historical location evidence, not a contradiction of the later status. Persistent map data can outlive a restaurant.

Closure evidence

In January 2026, a Pattaya Addicts forum discussion specifically described the Kraken Lanta burger restaurant on Pratumnak Soi 5 as closed. The writer then asked whether the Naklua operation remained open, which makes the branch distinction explicit.

This is not merely an unexplained missing timetable. The closure statement refers to the same road and concept as the mapped point, so the responsible planning status is closed.

The separate Naklua branch

Tripadvisor has a Kraken Lanta listing at 157/186 Naklua Road. It classifies that restaurant under burgers, barbecue and European food, publishes daily hours of 07:30-23:00 and includes reviews from 2025.

Those details belong only to Naklua. They must not be used to change the Pratumnak address, populate hours on this closed page or imply that the old branch reopened. Travellers considering Naklua should navigate to that address and verify its status directly.

What to expect at the old point

Do not assume the Kraken Lanta sign, menu or staff remain at Phra Tam Nak 5. The unit may be empty, renamed or occupied by a successor. Any replacement is a separate business that needs its own current sources.

Old burger recommendations can still explain why the pin appears in saved lists and forum posts. They do not transfer to a later tenant, and no historical dish should be promised at the closed site.

Who this page helps

This record is useful for visitors cleaning up an old itinerary and for readers trying to reconcile Pratumnak and Naklua search results. It prevents a plausible but wrong journey to the former Soi 5 branch.

It does not serve someone seeking a current menu, delivery link or table booking in Pratumnak. Choose a visibly operating nearby restaurant for those needs.

Recommendation

Remove the Phra Tam Nak 5 branch from active dining plans. If Kraken Lanta remains the goal, research the separate Naklua Road listing and confirm it on the day. Keeping the two addresses separate is the key point: current information about Naklua cannot revive a closed Pratumnak page.
