Where in Pattaya is Moonwhale located?

The rooftop bar has wide views of Pattaya Beach and the sea, especially stunning at sunset. This makes Moonwhale a great spot for anyone who wants a lively atmosphere with a beautiful view.

Design & Atmosphere

Moonwhale Pattaya’s interior is modern and elegant with a sea-inspired theme. The whale-shaped bar, where bartenders show off their skills, is the highlight. Outside, the terrace has raised seating and cozy spots, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the view.

Some plants on the terrace partly block the view, but the design balances sleek materials with warm wood accents.

Service & Hospitality

During our visit, the service didn’t fully meet the usual high Thai hospitality standards. However, this might have been a one-time issue. With better training and management, there’s good potential for improvement.

Our experience at Moonwhale in 2024

When we arrived at Moonwhale Pattaya, the sun was setting, creating a stunning view. We started with one of their signature cocktails and ordered a few starters. The guacamole stood out—it was a DIY dish with all the ingredients to mix ourselves, making it the most fun guacamole we’ve had! We also enjoyed tender satay served with crispy rice crackers instead of bread, a nice twist.

Next, we tried the shrimp and pomelo salad—a fresh and tasty mix. We also sampled Gui Chai Tod, a traditional Thai snack from nearby Maha Thai. For our main course, we picked pasta with braised beef from Nonna & Son, another restaurant in the same group.
