Korando’s is the sort of Pattaya bar where stopping in for a beer can easily turn into dinner, a football match and half the evening.

Set on Soi Buakhao 15, it combines a bar, restaurant and guesthouse under one roof, with plenty of screens showing live sport and a free pool table for the quieter moments. Football, Formula 1, MotoGP and UFC all feature, while Australian visitors are particularly well covered with regular NRL and AFL.

The kitchen is a bigger part of Korando’s than at most Pattaya bars, serving Thai and Western food alongside homemade pizzas, pasta, burgers and rotating specials such as ribs and chicken parmi. Rooms are available upstairs for anyone wanting to stay right in the middle of the Buakhao area.

Korando’s lets you watch the match, eat properly, and still get the full Pattaya bar experience.
