Lunch - chicken goujons, onion rings, new potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Having a compensatory afternoon treat at Pastry Addiction before flying home tomorrow. 😢

Something you won't see anywhere else. This is a fusion dish they serve in my wife's restaurant. Invented by the Chinese head chef. It's called coconut with beef and it's actually a combination of Thai pastes, fruit juices, seasoning powders and other ingredients. Tastes amazing. She cooked it for my lunch and much appreciated.

Not only that but the Range Rover has some serious mechanical issues which won't be helped by the state of the roads in this country. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/7995497/range-rovers-most-unreliable-car-suspension-brakes-problems-new-data/

Liver and bacon with mash carrots and potatoes with onion gravy

Last nights dinner on the bank. Pork loin and beef stuffed with cheese.

Can't beat a nice pan fried lambs liver with bacon Phil.

Hope you enjoy a Campari. Lots of great spirits and cocktails in the bar nightly. Fully air conditioned, beer bar prices.

Cheap Charlie's is one of three low-price restaurants evenly spaced along a half-kilometer stretch of Soi Buakhao in the heart of the LK Metro area. The Chunky Monkey and Happy Hippo are the other two bastions of budget bites on Buakhao, although several restaurants in that area have daily specials that put them in or slightly above the same price level. Competition for bargain baht is fierce around LK Metro! CC's is located about 150 meters south of Soi Lengkee on the east side of the road. I visited on a Sunday at about 2.30 p.m. It had about 25 customers at that time, which was considerably more than I saw at the Chunky Monkey or Happy Hippo as I passed them on the way to CC's. "Cheap and cheerful" is an apt description for CC's. It's open-front, but powerful and well-placed fans keep it cool. There's nothing fancy about the decor, but it's a comfortable and pleasant place for a meal with friendly service staff. I tried the roast chicken dinner for 99 baht. At that price, it can't really be faulted. It tasted fine and the portion was large enough for me. You can certainly find better and bigger roast chicken dinners in Pattaya, but they'll cost three or four times as much. The chicken was a large piece of breast accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes, gravy and boiled vegetables, mostly cabbage and carrots. The Yorkshire was a bit dense and the gravy slightly too salty for me, but those are minor quibbles. It was indeed good for 99 baht. I had intended to try the roast lamb Sunday dinner, which I had read on a board went for 149 baht. However, when I arrived, a sign out front said the price was 195 baht, but a waitress hauled the sign in moments after I sat down. Sure enough, the waitress who took my order said it was already sold out, so I had the roast chicken instead. I haven't had much luck with roast beef or pork dinners in budget restaurants. CC's has an extensive menu centered on familiar British dishes, but also quite a few internationa (hamburgers, pasta)l, Indian, Chinese and Thai offerings. It's pretty much the standard fare for farang restaurants in Pattaya. Here's an excerpt from CC's menu: The roast dinners are available every day, not just Sundays. There are also daily specials at discounted prices. Drinks are also reasonably priced at CC's: Bottom line: Cheap Charlie's is definitely a competitive entry in the crowded field of restaurants vying for budget-conscious customers who want farang food at a low price. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Evil

JL is correct. It is very nice. Part of the Mera Mare Hotel, just north of the Hard Rock.

Not looking forward to going back to work today after chilling since thursday.Not done very much,just nice to have a break from work and recharge the batteries.

Thank christ for that Phil, perfect for me Samsung J1........

At first glance it looked like you have it mounted on the wall.

nIce Carp is not a good eat anyway

Definitely not Scotland then 🙂

The price of that Rangerover is over 3 x what it would cost to put it on the road in the UK.

Late to this thread, good info here when buying in LOS. When I got married in 2016, we drove the wifes BMW around, I just wanted my own wheels though. So in Sept 2016, convinced her to work with me and we bought a Honda CRV for me. Used from the dealership, never had an SUV before, was skeptical at first, but I had to give it up, great piece of machinery at the end of the day. I could not have got that deal without wifeys Thai language skills and negotiation tactics. Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero, all of the Japanese SUV's get high marks for sure. I do think the Range Rover will be my next purchase though LOL! Great price huh?

I took a walk to the far north end of the beach, by the Dusit hotel, a few days ago to see if they had ever extended the beach around the headland to the cove. Unfortunately, the answer is that they have not.

Had a friend stop by last night when I was bbqing some steaks.

"Mum, I saw what dad did to his neighbor, he took off her clothes first, then she opened his pants, then he kissed her and then ..." "I do not have time now," she interrupts him, "you can tell everything afterwards on Dad's birthday party." When the guests are gathered, Max starts: "Daddy was earlier at the neighbor's house. First he took off her clothes, then she opened his pants, then he kissed her and then ... er, mummy, what's the name of the thing that you always put in your mouth when Uncle Erwin comes to visit? "

Dave, we don’t charge for electronic payments. It’s actually illegal to do so as it’s in the t+c of the rental agreement on the machine. Don’t want to criticize other bars but they make a huge markup on drinks then charge you illegally again for the use of electronic payment. Looking forward to seeing you soon mate. Phil

Kana moo kob made by mrs Esco. Food so simple but so good.

Enjoy Italy’s favourite coffee, Lavazza, fresh from bean to cup.

Ben has done a lot of good things and he ran a good business in Pattaya and had a great forum for many years..... Every one has weaknesses ...I dont think of Ben as a bad person just one who had a problem with sticky fingers...

To answer that last question, we need to know the penalties for not paying. I have an awful feeling it would not be good for your visa/extension of stay! People on extension of stay going the "money in the bank" route need to take care they don't pay this large bill such that their funds drop below the prescribed limits.
