    I found myself visiting this place the most during my stay in Pattaya. It has a variety of food including local cuisines, a nice supermarket, AIS shop if you need a sim card and a small fun zone arcade game at the top. Good place to visit during your first day if you looking for a sim card.

    A nice place to do shopping
    I went to the Festival mall on my last day of stay. Some nice brands are there, reasonable prices, good atmosphere. The only bad thing is that they close at 10 pm, even 10 or 15 minutes earlier, the sellers start to yawn and seem not interested to sell anymore or even answer your questions!

    A good visit.
    Central Festival is a good attraction places locating near the beach road. It is a big mall including various shopping places. Don’t buy anything from out of this building. Here is enough for you.

    Great shopping center
    Visited here in February while staying in Pattaya. Fab clean shopping center. Great shops of all kinds. Everything you want all in one place! We enjoyed the food court, where we enjoyed a beer while watching a live band. There was a particular shop upstairs selling larger mens tees, hubby was delighted with this shop, think I bought at least 8 tees!! All a good price! Really enjoyed our evening there!

    Great place to shop and eat
    Fantastic. 6 floors and a basement stretching from Beach rd to the back rd. Everything from Department Stores (2) to cloths, foot where, sporting where, electronics, Banks, Pharmacys, food chains and eaterys. Does not open till 11:00 AM like most things in Thailand, clean looks newish , their web site says opened 2009 and claims to be the biggest shopping mall in South East Asia

    Good place to window shop & eat diversified food in a cold AC place
    It is lot better than Terminal 21. Only one second really. Now if you are American you won’t find many stores that are NOT American. That’s a downer. Why would I buy from a Nike or an H&M or Victoria Secrets if I have access to these stores back home? On the same token, their food court caught my attention. If you are a foodie and want to try different culturally different foods here is a one stop shop. The M&Spencer is very limited. Mostly women’s sleep wear and over priced way to high. Be ready to spend $45 on one Jean or bra there ladies. Be nice if it had some renowned God stores there but didn’t see much. The movies in Thailand are unknown or dated mostly Jackie Chan style fight fight action packed. Nothing of intellect. So if you want to take a break you may not want to sit in the theatre at the mall either. It maybe a waste of money.

Fake and low quality products with a very big price
Feb 2023 • Solo
Pretty much all of the shops are scam and they are selling fake products with a big price. In terminal 21 you can refund the items you buy if you have a receipt but there it's impossible, workers don't listen and run away from you if you start saying about a refund.
Also this mall doesnt have a free WiFi, and that's terrible.

Bad behavior
Mar 2023
First we came here to get a push cart car for children. On presentation of my driving license, they told me that they want the original. When we informed them that it was the original one,they said it was company's policy that a passport was required. So after 2 days I came with the original passport of the child they told me that they can only accept an adult passport. They seem to be good in harassing children.

Parking is much easier nowadays
Sep 2021 • Friends
During the COVID period parking at Central Festival Pattaya has become a whole lot easier.
Now that the parking cards have been done away with, it is actually a whole lot easier to exit the car park. What sometimes took up to 15 minutes in a queue of cars exending up to the 5h floor, now only takes a maximum of 5 minutes. Marvellous!
Once life returns to normal lets hope that Central management continues with its 'no parking card' policy. We hope.. We pray!

Shopping heaven

Nothing like stepping out of the heat and wondering around the dizzy heights of central. I love grabbing a coffee here and sometimes even a movie or two. Also some cheap T-shirt’s and shorts can be had in the right place.

Food Court Much Improved
Feb 2020 • Solo
The food court much improved from previous visits. Was like a cattle market before with uncleared tables and difficulty finding a space.

It’s now split into two separated parts and makes for a much more pleasant experience.

A number of units have gone which reflects the difficult trading conditions in Thailand
At the present time.

Great shopping Mall.
Oct 2020
The biggest and possibly the best Mall in Pattaya.
Everything you need for a good days shopping. Clean bright & modern with many large named stores and plenty of smaller ones to hunt for your bargains.
Every type of eatery for a break, rest and refuel during your shopping.
I never get tired of Central in any major Thailand city they are always a good standard.

Shopping
Feb 2020 • Couples
If you go to pattaya this is the place to shop, there are many floors to look around, and its so clean. If you go to the food hall which is located on the lower floor you can do a supermarket shop and you can also eat there as well. You have to get a card and put baht money on it then you go to which vendor that you want to eat from and they serve you and take youre card and take the credit off it. When you have finished you take youre card back to kiosk if you have any baht left on you get it back.would recommend this shopping centre.

To spicy to eat..
Mar 2021 • Solo
Ordered a chicken dish at the China Town food stall in the food court downstairs.. Very clearly and specifically told the young man “Mai Pet”, not spicy.. When I got my dish it was loaded with chili’s, way to spicy for me.. I went up to the counter and told the young lady and man, Pet Mak, to spicy, cannot eat.. They both laughed like it was a big joke, then the cook came out, they told him, he also laughed.. Somebody should talk to this stall and maybe train them better on dealing with customers in a better manner.. Obviously I will not return to this food stall.. There are many other stalls with great food and staff..
