About this historical record

This page records a former FamilyMart pin in the Central Pattaya area. FamilyMart’s Thai convenience-store operation was run through Central FamilyMart, and FamilyMart Co. announced in 2020 that it would transfer its shares in that Thai operator to Central Food Retail. By August 2023, Thai reporting described the permanent withdrawal of the FamilyMart brand from Thailand, with branches either closing or changing to Tops Daily.

Treat this as a history page, not a destination. For groceries or drinks in Central Pattaya, use a live Tops Daily or 7-Eleven locator near where you are staying; skip this old pin unless a current source confirms what is operating there now.

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.

Foodland

Foodland on Central Pattaya Road is the go-to 24-hour supermarket for expats and self-catering travellers who want imported groceries at a fair price. Part of the long-running Thai Foodland chain and open in Pattaya since 1989, it's smaller and less flashy than the big hypermarkets but stocks the things visitors from Europe, the UK, Australia and North America often miss: proper cheeses and cold cuts, imported meat, Western baking supplies, breakfast cereals, sauces and condiments, wine and international snacks, alongside fresh Thai produce, a butchery and a bakery. Being open around the clock makes it invaluable — it's where you end up at midnight for supplies, or early morning after a flight. A signature feature is the on-site 'Took Lae Dee' diner (the name means 'cheap and good'), a counter-style café serving inexpensive Thai and Western dishes and all-day breakfasts right by the entrance — a handy, air-conditioned pit stop while you shop. There's also an in-store pharmacy. Prices on imported goods sit above local-brand equivalents (as they do everywhere in Thailand), but Foodland is generally seen as reasonable value for what it carries, and the quality and range are reliable. It's centrally located on Pattaya Klang between the beach and Sukhumvit, easy to reach by baht bus, Grab or on foot from many central hotels, with parking for drivers. For anyone renting a condo or apartment and cooking for themselves, it's one of the most useful addresses in central Pattaya.
