Pattaya is one of Thailand’s most electric beach cities, and it turns into a true motorsport hub whenever Formula 1 is on. With its late-night bar scene, international community, and countless sports pubs packed around Beach Road, LK Metro, and Soi Buakhao, finding a great place to watch the Grand Prix live is never a problem. Most venues stay open well past midnight, show the full broadcast with English commentary, and attract a mix of long-term expats, weekend travelers, and hardcore F1 fans.
This guide highlights the best bars in Pattaya to watch Formula 1 in 2025: places known for big HD screens, reliable race coverage, strong fan atmosphere, cold drinks, and convenient locations. Whether you’re cheering for Verstappen, hoping Norris pulls off the upset, or just looking for a fun night out during the final two races of the season, Pattaya has the perfect spot for you.

Highlight
Location
Holland Belgium House is located on Sukhumvit Pattaya 53/3 Alley, just off Sukhumvit Road on the east side of Pattaya. This places it well outside the tourist zones of Beach Road, LK Metro, or Jomtien. It’s a local neighborhood area with small shops, houses, and Thai-style bars — far more low-key than central Pattaya.
Vibe
This is a local-style Dutch/Belgian hangout, simple, friendly, and very down-to-earth. Expect a relaxed atmosphere with regulars who live in the area rather than tourists. It’s the kind of place where people come for a casual drink, a chat, and to watch sports without the noise and chaos of Pattaya’s entertainment districts. When Formula 1 is on, you’ll often see a small but dedicated Dutch crowd quietly supporting Max Verstappen.
Food & Beers
The bar keeps things straightforward: cold beers, basic snacks, and Thai bar food depending on the day. The drinks selection is modest — mainly local beers and a few imported European favorites — more of a casual neighborhood choice rather than a large sports pub menu. It’s ideal if you want a simple drink during the race without the commercial feel of bigger bars.
How to get there
Because it sits off Sukhumvit Road, the easiest way to reach it is:
There’s no need to walk — the area is spread out and designed for vehicles.
