Central Pattaya.

The dense centre — Beach Road, Soi Buakhao, Second Road, Third Road. The expat-and-nomad belt. Most third-wave roasters live here.

Central Pattaya is the heart of the scene. Albatross, Sunset, Backstreet House, SheeVa, Benjamit, Why Specialty, Ordinary, Malamute, Just Specialty, Brewed Bliss, and Fundamental (rooftop at Arbour Hotel) all live within a few sois of each other.

Beach Road for the sea-facing roasting factories. Soi Buakhao for the nomad-friendly bars. The off-soi alleys for the slow-bar hideouts. This is where the editorial audit spends most of its time.
