With spectacular views looking back over the entire Pattaya bay, this clifftop restaurant conjures up excellent Thai fusion food. Reservations are needed around sunset. It's about 14km south of Pattaya; without your own transport you could jump off a southbound minivan on the main road, from where it's about a five-minute walk.
