Where to watch F1 in Pattaya? (2025 grand finale)

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.

Final dates:

  • Qatar: 30 November 2025 - 11PM

Location

Danny’s Sports Bar is now located on Soi Buakhao, one of Pattaya’s busiest and most central streets. The new spot sits close to the LK Metro area, surrounded by restaurants, guesthouses, and other nightlife venues. It’s easy to find and stays lively throughout the evening.


Vibe

Danny’s is known as a friendly, no-nonsense sports bar with a strong expat following. The atmosphere is relaxed but energetic during major events, with multiple screens, full sound, and a crowd that actually pays attention to the game. Expect a mix of regulars, travelers, and long-stay residents — the kind of place where you can walk in alone and end up chatting with people at the bar within minutes.


How to get there

The easiest way is to head directly to Soi Buakhao:

  • From Beach Road / Central Pattaya:
  • Take a motorbike taxi (5–10 minutes). Tell the driver: “Soi Buakhao, Danny’s Sports Bar.”

  • It’s a short walk. Head toward the main street of Soi Buakhao; the bar is only a few minutes away.
  • From Jomtien:

05 Holland Belgium House Pattaya

Website: https://www.facebook.com/hollandbelgiumhouse/

Location: Open in Google Maps

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:

  • From Central Pattaya (Beach Road / Second Road):
  • Take a Bolt or Grab directly to Sukhumvit Pattaya 53/3 Alley (10–15 minutes).
  • From Soi Buakhao / LK Metro:
  • Also easiest by Bolt/Grab, heading east across Third Road toward Sukhumvit.
  • From Jomtien:
  • Take Sukhumvit Road north and turn into the alley; a taxi is recommended.

There’s no need to walk — the area is spread out and designed for vehicles.
