This is a great place for some good food. First impression is the car park is a good size! They upgraded to this location about two & a half years ago, having been further up the road towards Tara Pattana in a single unit for maybe five years before that. As you walk in there is a good sized aircon room on your left. There is a large seating area to the right. Although it is inside, it is well ventilated due to the side walls being open on three sides, with roller blind screens if needed. Ok, it looks a bit empty, however these are very hard times, and […]

This is a great place for home from home cooking, run by an English couple, David and Debbie. The food has always been good for me, sometimes a breakfast, sometimes a pick from their well thought out menu. Plenty of breakfast items, with a proper full english with toast through Eggs Benedict onto a healthy options Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Eggs on Granary. Almost every option coming with Tea or Coffee. An assortment of Burgers and Ribs and lots of choices from the Mains and House Specials, Hunters Chicken, Bangers & Mash, Haddock & Chips and Beef Stew & Dumplings. Sunday Roasts are a favourite too, Slow Roast Pork, Beef […]

This is a great place to pop in for some quality food and drink, with big TV’s to watch some Sports or use the Pool Table. Open from 7.00am till 2.00am The Sportsman has been around a long time, in fact from 1997, and now being run with Dave Bowers in the background and Darren Lowe being more hands on, it has and always had, a good English Pub feel to it. Just chatting with Darren for a few minutes, and I could feel the enthusiasum he has about food! He has always been involved with food, cooking in his parents pub and then moving into food distribution and now […]

Just a day out in Udon Thani. My first trip up here. Lots of stuff going on so it can be difficult to choose which places to visit. Just an hour and a quarter for a flight from Pattaya U-Tapao to Udon International Airport or about a nine hour drive along 690 Km of the route 7, route 9 and route 2 roads. We randomly chose the Thanbury Hotel, situated near to some of the bars and restaurants as well as Central Plaza Shopping Mall. A new, modern and pleasant hotel, they have car parking and a lift for the lazy (ok thats me then!) and included a buffet breakfast. […]

Ok, this one is a bit of fun and the first time I heard about this one I was in a private house and was asked if I wanted a Takeaway from The Peaky Blinders! I knew I would have to do a blog! Even more strange was the next question “Do you want a Reuben Sandwich?” Probably not something you would relate to The Peaky Blinders, so after some discussion, we both ordered a Reuben and it turned out to be really very good, not that I know much about American grub and taking up my total input of Reuben Sandwiches to Two! A few days later, as chance […]

Maybe that should be PrimeBurger, Aka The Players Sports Bar, Soi Buakhao, Pattaya. Just a chance visit found a really great Burger! Never expected that! Meeting friends on Soi Buakhao, a phone call as we arrived gave us a heads up for a place I did not know. The Players Sports Bar ? Never heard of it! Not having been there before, or really knowing anything about it, we just went looking for The Players Sports Bar and seeing the Sign from further along Soi Buakhao we then discovered it was the old Butchers Arms. Completely new management now and being The Players Sports Bar, I find it odd that […]

The Robin Hood Tavern, at The Avenue, Second Road, Pattaya, Thailand. This is a great place to pop in or meet up for some Good Grub and a Beer or just a Snack and a Coffee. Easy for Car Parking or Baht Buses along Second Road or an easy hop from Soi Buakhaow. The Avenue is an open Mall which rambles round an open central area which fronts onto Second Road, with a fair assortment of outlets, one of which is the Robin Hood Tavern. They are on the first floor with a large and well laid out bar area, seating about 90 and there is an outside seating area […]

Been here many times. The food is always good but it is Thai / Issan Food so I have things which are not spicy or are cooked by request without chilli. This is a Mom and Pop place, and they have a big area. There are basic tables at the front by the main road and more formal areas at the rear overlooking the river. It is situated at the Western end of the main street in Kasset Sombun and is pretty much equidistant between the two main places to stay, Barry House Resort and Boontawa Hotel. Stir fried frog and appetizing Egg Ants are on the menu when they […]

A really nice place to spend a bit of time. This resort is probably just over 10 years old and is about a dozen chalets mostly situated around a Swimming Pool. Pool front has seating and tables under a canopy. The rooms are a good size with Aircon and a Fan. Balcony and seats out front. En-Suite Toilets with Electric Showers. There is a some basic food available from Pizza, Burgers, Fries, Cooked Breakfast, and Sandwiches. There is of course also a bar available. Ok this is not quite Pattaya if you are being picky, but its only 530 km away! Just a seven hour or so tootle in the […]

This is a really nice place to pop in for some posh nosh or a good coffee and a cake. Run by a very nice man called Robert who hails from Scotland and has been doing a good job there for just over three years. I have been here numerous times and it has never failed to hit the spot. They produce Thai, Fusion and International Cuisine. I guess the most visits are for coffee and cake. Always something to tempt increasing my waistline! On my last visit I had a burger and it was really good, and then it turned out to be a record breaking one, as by […]
