Pa Boon Café 5
Rob's take
"The big Pa Boon, and really a family day out with food attached — koi waterways, a proper playground, small animals and, for reasons nobody explains, dinosaurs. Buy the fish food, take a pond-side table, and accept that you're there for half a day rather than an hour. Cheap for what it is, and the cooking holds up."
Pa Boon Café 5 is a spot to eat or drink in Nong Pla Lai, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.7★ on Google, mid-range pricing. Open daily, 8:00 AM–12:00 AM.
Pa Boon Café 5 is a sprawling garden café and restaurant roughly 9km from central Pattaya, where the seating is laid out among koi ponds, wooden huts and tropical planting. The menu is broad, covering Thai, seafood and grilled dishes as well as Western food, coffee and desserts, and the grounds hold birds, rabbits and other animals, a large playground and dinosaur displays. Open from 8am to midnight daily, it suits a half-day visit with children more than a quick coffee stop.
