At the Naklua market in Pattaya, you can buy fresh seafood and fish at an affordable price. It is located in the north of the city and is easily accessible by tuk-tuk from the Terminal 21 shopping center. The best time to visit is from 13:00 to 14:00, as this is when the new catch goes on sale. Here you can find a variety of fish, crabs, octopuses, shrimps and snails. Tourists often buy goods by the kilo, but be aware that prices drop at the end of the day as vendors try to sell yesterday's goods.
Alternatively, you can take your purchase with you or ask a chef at a nearby cafe to prepare it for you for an additional fee - this way of dining is quite popular among visitors. For example, Russian visitors paid 60 THB (126 rubles) for one fish, while shrimp and scallops cost from 200 THB (422 rubles).
