Coastal Around Town - Cafe Blu in South Pattaya

In this episode of Coastal Around Town Mohawk and part of the Coastal team visit Cafe Blu in South Pattaya.

The European, Italian, Thai fusion menu at Cafe Blue has something to satiate just about every palate.

The selection of available cocktails paired with the creativity of the bar tending staff makes your drink options one of the best in Pattaya.

As Mohawk mentions in the video Cafe Blu offers the same high quality as Cafe Des Amis but at a friendlier price.

One of our favorite dishes (although not in the video) is the Wagyu Lasagna which is a must try for lovers of Italian food. Just a tip though if you are thinking about lasagna, they sell out of it almost every day, so try to get there early or make a request when making a reservation.

The excellent food and drinks are only part what makes Cafe Blu such a great dining experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant is second to none. The large booths are very comfortable, the bar is as friendly and inviting and the music selection is awesome.

Cafe Blu will surely become one of your go-to restaurants after your first visit.

Cafe Blu is located on the second floor of the Arcadia Beach condominium Soi 9 Thappraya, almost next door to Cafe Des Amis and has ample parking for cars and motorbikes. The location can be found here https://bit.ly/3yxyvVR

They are open from 11:15 am to 10:00 pm (the kitchen closes at 9:00) Tuesday through Sunday.

Reservations can be made by calling 038 197 870 or you can send them an email cafebluarcadia@gmail.com or send them a message on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cafeblupattaya

Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is transforming the eastern seaboard into one of the country’s most dynamic economic hubs, and Pattaya stands to benefit significantly. The EEC, a flagship government initiative, aims to boost infrastructure, industry, and investment in the provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao, creating new opportunities for businesses and property investors alike.Infrastructure Development Driving GrowthOne of the biggest factors shaping Pattaya’s property future is infrastructure. The EEC project includes major improvements in transportation, such as the high-speed rail connecting Bangkok to U-Tapao Airport, upgraded expressways, and enhanced ports and logistics facilities. These developments are making Pattaya more accessible for both domestic and international investors, increasing the attractiveness of the city for long-term property investment.Rising Demand for Residential and Commercial PropertiesAs the EEC attracts businesses and skilled professionals to the region, demand for quality housing is increasing. Luxury condos, modern villas, and gated communities in Pattaya are seeing rising interest from both Thai and foreign buyers who want convenient access to the city’s new economic opportunities. At the same time, commercial properties, from offices to retail spaces, are gaining value as companies expand their presence in the area.Boosting Pattaya’s Investment AppealThe EEC is creating a strong environment for property investment. With a growing population of expatriates, professionals, and business travelers, rental yields in Pattaya are expected to rise, especially for properties close to transportation hubs, business districts, and international schools. Long-term capital appreciation is also projected, as limited land availability in prime areas continues to drive demand.Lifestyle and Urban DevelopmentBeyond business, the EEC is contributing to Pattaya’s overall urban development. New leisure, shopping, and cultural facilities are emerging to cater to a growing population. Improved infrastructure not only supports commercial growth but also enhances the lifestyle and convenience for residents, making Pattaya an increasingly desirable location for families, retirees, and luxury property buyers.Strategic Location for the FutureInvestors looking for long-term growth are taking note of Pattaya’s strategic position within the EEC. Situated along the Gulf of Thailand and with easy access to Bangkok, Laem Chabang Port, and U-Tapao Airport, Pattaya offers both lifestyle and investment potential. As the EEC progresses, properties in well-connected neighborhoods and near key infrastructure are expected to see higher demand and better returns.ConclusionThe Eastern Economic Corridor is more than just a government project—it’s reshaping Pattaya’s real estate landscape. With improved infrastructure, increased business activity, and rising demand for quality housing, Pattaya is poised for sustained growth in both property values and rental opportunities. For investors and buyers seeking both lifestyle and financial returns, understanding the impact of the EEC is key to making smart decisions in Pattaya’s evolving property market.

Why Pratumnak Hill Remains a Top Choice for Luxury Buyers

Aug 14, 2025

When it comes to luxury living in Pattaya, few neighborhoods match the prestige, beauty, and exclusivity of Pratumnak Hill. This elevated enclave offers the perfect balance between city convenience and tranquil coastal living — a combination that continues to attract high-end buyers from around the world. Prime Location with Breathtaking ViewsPerched between Pattaya and Jomtien, Pratumnak Hill enjoys one of the most enviable positions on the Eastern Seaboard. Many condos in Pratumnak boast panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, stunning sunsets, and the sparkling city skyline. The hill’s elevation not only provides a cooler breeze but also creates a sense of privacy and separation from the busier districts below.Exclusive Property OptionsPratumnak is home to some of the city’s most sought-after residences — from ultra-modern villas with infinity pools to high-rise condominiums with 5-star facilities.

Whether buyers are looking for a lavish holiday retreat or a permanent residence, Pratumnak offers properties that meet the highest standards of design and comfort.A Peaceful Yet Connected LifestyleOne of Pratumnak Hill’s greatest strengths is its balance of tranquility and accessibility.

The area is close to international restaurants, boutique cafes, golf courses, marinas, and high-end shopping malls. Quality healthcare is also nearby, with leading hospitals just a short drive away. For families, international schools in Pattaya and surrounding areas are within easy reach.Strong Investment PotentialWhile lifestyle is a major draw, Pratumnak Hill also offers compelling investment opportunities. Limited land availability and high demand from both Thai and foreign buyers help support long-term value appreciation. Rental demand, particularly for short-term stays in high-end villas and condos, remains strong due to the area’s reputation and prime location.The Allure ContinuesIn a market that is always evolving, Pratumnak Hill continues to hold its place as Pattaya’s most prestigious address. Its combination of scenic beauty, exclusive properties, convenient location, and investment stability ensures it remains a top choice for discerning buyers who want the very best the city has to offer.
