What you need to know
What has changed
Chonburi Coffee on the Beach returns to Central Pattaya Beach from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November. The festival site is opposite Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya, a useful landmark for anyone walking along Beach Road or arranging a drop-off.
The Thailand Festival listing gives public hours of 7am to 9pm, which match The Pattaya News's 8 November event preview. An earlier provincial notice for businesses applying to exhibit quoted 9am to 9pm. Check the current programme if your visit depends on a particular stall or activity being ready first thing.
What is on the programme
The public listing includes coffee tastings, hands-on workshops, talks with coffee specialists, arts and crafts, and free concerts. The Chonburi Provincial Agriculture and Cooperatives Office also sought exhibitors selling agricultural goods and community products, so the event has a local producer component alongside the café stalls.
Festival hours describe the overall event. A workshop, concert or vendor may have its own schedule, so check the latest details before planning a visit around one activity. Bring a means of payment for purchases from vendors.
Two events on the same beach weekend
The coffee festival shares its 13–15 November dates with Pattaya's beachfront Diwali programme. Check the venue landmark for each event before leaving, especially if you are meeting friends or booking a car. Allow extra time along Beach Road when both programmes are active and check for any updated traffic arrangements closer to the weekend.
