Remains and restored businesses

Restoration and renewal, the rebirth of businesses in Pattaya.

In the heart of Thailand's coastal gem, Pattaya, lies a narrative of resilience, transformation, and renewal. As the world navigated through the tumultuous waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pattaya's vibrant business landscape faced unprecedented challenges. Yet, amidst closures and setbacks, signs of hope emerged, breathing new life into the city's iconic establishments. Join us as we explore the remnants of the past and the vibrant restorations that signal a promising future for Pattaya.

Siren bar complex, echoes of the past, glimmers of the future.

In May 2020, the Siren and Thai boxing complex, standing proudly in front of the Pattaya Beer Garden, bid farewell to its patrons. This closure marked the end of an era for a venue that had been synonymous with Pattaya's nightlife for many years. However, amidst the silence, new beginnings stirred.

A couple of bars emerged on Pattaya Beach Road, near the still shuttered Pattaya Beer Garden, breathing fresh energy into the area. Renamed as Siren Square, this revamped space welcomed a number one bar, becoming a beacon of hope for the once thriving nightlife scene. Then, on a fateful day in March 2022, Pattaya Beer Garden reopened its doors, heralding a new chapter for Pattaya's iconic Walking Street.

Nang Nual, a culinary legacy in transition.

The world famous Nang Nual sea food restaurant faced a transformative fate in May 2022, as part of its structure was marked for demolition. Despite the changes, the panoramic view of Nang Nual, with its remnants standing tall, evokes memories of culinary delights and shared moments. While the land awaits new projects, the spirit of Nang Nual continues to linger, beckoning visitors to cherish its legacy.

Simon bar complex, from closure to rebirth.

June 2021 saw the entire Simons complex, spanning 22 meters wide and 50 meters deep, up for rent, signaling a shift in ownership and opportunities. By December 2021, the curtains had fallen on Simon bar complex, paving the way for its imminent sale.

However, in February 2022, a phoenix rose from the ashes as Frog Land emerged from the remnants of Simon's. Surprisingly, Frog Land's area quickly became a hotspot, solidifying its position as the sole bar complex on Pattaya Walking Street by November 2022.

Drinking street bar complex, another canvas for new beginnings.

As of June 2021, the entirety of this street complex, nestled in the northern part of Pattaya Second Road, awaited eager tenants. While uncertainties loom, the vacant space holds the promise of revitalization, offering a blank canvas for entrepreneurs to carve out their visions and dreams. (Already demolished).

Sengchai Kitchen, a return to comfort.

After enduring a prolonged closure due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the widely known Sengchai Kitchen at Marine Plaza welcomed back patrons in December 2022. With its reopening, the aroma of traditional Thai cuisine once again fills the air, providing solace and comfort to those seeking familiar flavors and warm hospitality.

Marine seafood, nostalgia and new beginnings.

In Soi Lucky Star, a popular fish restaurant stood as a testament to Pattaya's culinary prowess before the pandemic. Despite the challenges, Marine seafood reopened its doors in August 2022, reigniting fond memories and culinary adventures for locals and visitors alike.

As Pattaya navigates through the ebbs and flows of change, the stories of remains and restorations serve as testaments to the city's indomitable spirit. Through resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to progress, Pattaya continues to evolve, embracing its past while embracing the promise of a vibrant future. Join us as we witness the unfolding chapters of Pattaya's journey, where every closure paves the way for new beginnings, and every restoration echoes the resilience of a city that never ceases to inspire.
