What is not on the standard plate: black pudding, hash brown, fried bread. If a review site scores a competitor for those extras, that is a different plate. Ours is a classic cafe English with the right bacon and beans, cooked when you order.
What a full English costs in Pattaya
Pattaya has three price bands for a fry-up:
- Value plates around Soi Buakhao and central sois - often ฿89 to ฿150 for a small set. Volume over provenance. Fine if you want calories before a bus.
- Cafe quality on Pratumnak and a few specialist kitchens - typically ฿195 to ฿300 with better bacon, proper sausages, and a real coffee machine. This is where The Lunch Box sits.
- Hotel buffet - higher ticket, heat-lamp eggs, included if you already paid for the room.
The Lunch Box Small English at ฿195 with a drink included undercuts most hotel breakfasts and sits above the cheap Buakhao sets on ingredient quality. The Full at ฿295 is the plate regulars order. For a wider hill morning menu see breakfast on Pratumnak Hill.

Can you get a proper English breakfast in Thailand?
Yes. Not everywhere. Many “full English” plates use streaky pork, local beans, and batch eggs. The Lunch Box uses back bacon, pork sausages, Branston beans, and cooks the eggs when the ticket lands.
