Best Supermarket

Status note: the shop mapped at this location is closed. Best Supermarket — the long-running independent grocer known among Pattaya expats for its imported Western foods, meats and liquor — relocated in April 2024 to a new, purpose-fitted store on Naklua Road, just past Soi Naklua 18 on the way towards Wongamat. The move was announced on the shop's Facebook page and tracked in detail on the ASEANNOW Pattaya expat forum, where regulars confirmed the new store opened on 20 April 2024. The business itself continues to trade at the Naklua address, stocking the same mix of imported groceries, fresh and frozen meat, and Western brands that made it a fixture of expat shopping runs for years — though reviews of the range and pricing have always been mixed compared with rivals like Villa Market and Foodland. This page is retained for reference because older maps, forum posts and directories still point to the previous central Pattaya premises; the coordinates shown reflect that old map listing, not the current shop. If you're heading there, search 'Best Supermarket Naklua' in your maps app and verify current opening hours on the shop's Facebook page before making a special trip.

About

The official contact page gives the current business as Best (Pattaya) Corner Co., Ltd. at 500/555 Moo 5, Naklua, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150, with phone 038 427 588 and a Facebook contact route. The shop’s current LINE profile adds a daily 08:00-21:00 window and parking note, while the Thai homepage presents a live catalogue with 4,123 items. Those current channels are more useful than the older 08:00-24:00 guide signal, but hours and stock can still change. Status: this mapped location is closed. Best Supermarket, the independent expat grocer, relocated in April 2024 to Naklua Road just past Soi Naklua 18. The business continues there; the premises shown on this page’s map are its former site.

Details

  • Current store: Naklua Road, past Soi Naklua 18 (search “Best Supermarket Naklua” in your maps app)
  • This mapped site: Former premises — closed since the April 2024 relocation
  • Hours: A dated local guide lists 08:00-24:00; confirm that schedule at the new store via the shop’s Facebook page

Good to know

The local shopping guide places the new shop about 100 metres past Soi Naklua 18 and describes German and European bread, cheese and sausage, plus alcohol and tobacco. Der Farang’s April 2024 report also describes the new branch, supporting the relocation timeline. Those sources agree on the move, but neither is a live hours notice; confirm the dated 08:00-24:00 listing before travelling. Older directories and map pins still show the previous central Pattaya address — don’t rely on them. For imported groceries closer to central Pattaya, Villa Market and Foodland are the usual alternatives.

The coordinates retained in this legacy record describe the former central Pattaya premises, not the current Naklua Road store.

How the relocation evidence fits

For this relocated store, the shop’s Facebook page and two ASEANNOW discussions support the April 2024 move, while the local shopping guide and Der Farang report provide separate descriptions of the Naklua Road store. The official contact page now supplies 500/555 Moo 5 and 038 427 588, and LINE supplies a current hours lead. The sources agree on the Naklua destination but disagree on the late closing window, so treat the current store as the destination and the coordinates on this legacy page as historical context.

Before you go

The honest take

Practical context to consider before you choose.

  • The current LINE profile lists 08:00-21:00, while older shopping guides carry a later 08:00-24:00 window.
  • Confirm the active hours and stock with the shop before a special trip.

Frequently asked questions

Is Best Supermarket in Pattaya still open?

Yes, the business trades — but not at this mapped location. Best Supermarket moved to a new store on Naklua Road, just past Soi Naklua 18, which opened on 20 April 2024. The old central Pattaya premises are closed.

Where is the new Best Supermarket?

On Naklua Road shortly after Soi Naklua 18, heading north towards Wongamat. Search 'Best Supermarket Naklua' in Google Maps or your ride-hailing app for the exact pin, and check its Facebook page for current hours.

What does Best Supermarket sell?

Imported Western groceries — tinned and packaged foods, fresh and frozen meats, dairy, and a liquor section — aimed at expats and long-stay visitors. Range and prices get mixed reviews versus Villa Market and Foodland, so it's worth comparing for big shops.

Can I use the old central Pattaya map pin?

No. This page preserves the former premises for record matching; the business announcement and later reports place the operating shop on Naklua Road past Soi Naklua 18. Confirm the active pin and hours before travelling.
