The shopping centre has a mix of international and Thai retailers, including fashion, sportswear, beauty and lifestyle stores.

 

You’ll also find Central Department Store, making it convenient to browse different product categories during the same visit.

 

For specific brands or store locations, check the shopping centre’s official directory before visiting.

Restaurants are located across different areas of the mall, with options for a quick meal or a longer sit-down visit.

 

3. Watch a Movie at SFX Cinema

 

SFX Cinema is one of the entertainment facilities at Central Pattaya.

 

It’s an indoor activity worth considering during hot afternoons or rainy weather.

 

Film schedules, ticket prices and available languages vary, so check the cinema’s current programme before visiting.

 

4. Explore the Beachfront Area

Central Pattaya vs Terminal 21 Pattaya: Which Should You Visit?

Both shopping centres are popular destinations, but they offer different settings.

 

Central Pattaya is located beside Pattaya Beach, making it convenient for visitors who want to combine shopping, dining and time near the waterfront.
