Lotus’s North Pattaya (โลตัส พัทยาเหนือ)
“This supermarket is a hidden gem for local favorites like their surprisingly authentic Bulgarian-style yogurt.”
Description
This is a classic, no-frills yet highly functional supermarket in North Pattaya, conveniently located right by the bustling Sukhumvit Road. Both expats in cars and tourists staying in nearby apartments come here for their weekly shopping. The vibe is all business: the clatter of carts, announcements over the PA, and focused shoppers checking their lists. It’s all about shopping and eating here, without any entertainment distractions.
The layout is simple: the ground floor houses the main grocery giant and a food court, while smaller shops like the DIY paradise Mr. DIY are on the second floor. Decathlon used to be here but has moved out. The main hassle is accessibility. Getting to the second floor with a stroller or suitcase can be a challenge due to barriers by the escalators and the not-so-obvious elevator locations.
Why visit
Insider tips
💡 Double-check food court prices against your bill. Some tourists reported being overcharged.
💡 Accessing the second floor with strollers and luggage carts is tricky. Look for elevators as barriers are placed before escalators.
💡 Don’t plan on shopping after 10:00 PM. Security may close the nearest exit right on time, requiring a detour.
💡 Promotional deals with gifts for purchases don’t always deliver: the advertised items might be out of stock, even if the ads are still up.
