Mabprachan Lake is in the east of Pattaya and is sometimes linked with the district of Pong.
Mabprachan has always been popular with Ex-Pats and Thais alike as it is out-of-town but close enough to drive in for the beaches, shopping and entertainment.
Mabprachan is located a within a 25-minute drive from central Pattaya but this can be achieved much quicker now with access onto the Chonburi-Pattaya Highway than leads to Sukhumvit Road.
Mabprachan is also popular because it offers good access to the international schools and industrial zones.
Only a few years ago you were limited for restaurants around the Lake with just Khun John’s Restaurant, Rendezvous and the Fisherman’s Rest; but in recent times we have seen an arrival of new eateries such as Bobby Grover’s Indian Roots, Nibbles & More, Mabprachan Mediterranean Garden Resort, and a restaurant with the obvious name of Mabprachan Mexican Restaurant.
There are numerous local Thai restaurants and a large food market in the area.
If golf is your game you will find Phoenix Golf Course and the 3 courses at Siam Country Club almost on your doorstep.
Convenience stores such as 7/11, Family Mart, Lotus Express and Mini BigC are now in the area. For larger food shopping Makro and Tesco Lotus are only a short drive away.
There are no banks yet in Mabprachan yet but most stores mentioned above have ATM machines.
