The Candy Bar is a small, friendly spot on Soi 13/1 - better known around Pattaya as Soi Yamato - tucked between Beach Road and Second Road in one of the city’s older nightlife streets.

It’s a straightforward hostess bar built around drinks, girls and conversation, with a compact layout that keeps everything close and social. The bar has picked up a reputation for friendly staff, good music and reasonably priced drinks, giving it an easy-going feel that suits the quieter character of Soi Yamato. It’s a good alternative for anyone who wants the Pattaya bar experience without the sheer intensity of places like Soi 6 or Walking Street.

The Candy Bar starts early and carries on well into the night, making it an easy stop whether you’re passing through in the afternoon or settling in after dark.

A sweet little stop on one of Pattaya’s old-school sois.
