I gave it 5 minutes... only customer, I'm still "waiting for the wonder", totally ignored by all 25 girls (yes, I counted!), coke zero (although I'm amazed that the waitress could hear my order) 110b, after 5 minutes my ears were bleeding from the noise, check bin and left.

Seating very narrow and upright, no space for feet, table to close to seat.

Madness- you're "waiting for the  pt.wonder", they are waiting to go bankrupt.

Understand their target market is affluent Asians, not eccentric English millionaires but still. Panda has the same target market but will still want to take your cash and won't ignore you. They've attended Business 101 and realised the primary goal is actually to take cash off your customers in return for some sort of service.

Why go to the time and effort of an expensive refurb and business set-up? They could just take a few million Baht out and set fire to it- same end result just a hell of lot quicker!

I like Geoff but he's gone off the boil this last year or so . His mate DD something or other was a bit of a goofball ! 

Recently been watching a few of Edward Sweeny's vids . Quite good if you can stomach the Scouse accent . 

Ed Sweeny's a joke- saw him doing a "review "of one of the Indian hotels on Soi Honey where he claimed to be staying- maybe they gave him a night for free.

Did see him having breakfast in Game On and to be fair to him he came across OK, at least he was polite to the staff. He was wearing the old school Singha vest wardrobe, didn't do him any favours as the guy is more hairy than Richard Keys!!

I tried out a couple of his recommendations in PP, as quality as his Soi Honey hotel- avoid!!!

Worrying Madrid are going to poach Potch😀

Flying home from Thailand today, looking at CL scores on the BBC- what's going on at Madrid🤯

Anyone have an informed opinion on what the monthly running cost of The Secrets forum would be? 

That food at the Shangri La does look terrific- really top class, wonderful setting. 

Just having this one for research purposes

That's the sort of drink I was hoping that the beer hub was going to serve given the name.

Subset of the Beer menu, sign out front suggests local bottles are 59 baht

Yes no quibble of the value. Seem to be competing with the Chunky Monkey who a similarly price beef offering at 159, or chicken at 129. I prefer Pitini.

Cafe Pitini 159 baht roast pork special. Veggies where good, pork pretty bland & tasteless. My own fault should have ordered off the regular menu and paid for better quality , some decent looking food was coming out of the kitchen

Here in my state of Queensland, Australia the pubs are closed on Good Friday and Xmas day. So having stupid traditions affecting people's lifestyles is alive and well in so called modern countries.

Fair point, that's a thing of the past now in England, you have my sympathy and thanks for donating the cakes😀

An interesting post and perspective Thai Spice. I wouldn't live anywhere that had religious police , too used to Western freedom- good luck to you though for making it work.

They've got a very good selection of bottled beers in the fridge. Place was recommended to me by @Bazle a man of excellent taste👍. Very plush downstairs, loads of tellies could be a good spot to watch a game, though maybe not the Spurs game tonight- don't want to get barred!

Will try the Ruby in there at some point, Indian owned and run, so should be decent.

Brown Ale 209 baht at the Beer Hub, cracking little spot

Quick morning work out Diana Oasis, Patts. Decor is prison chic but gets the job done.

Painter will be so proud of you.😀

Painter's an Avenue food court man, think his batteries would run out if he walked up toT21

40 Baht T21 Patts food court veggie stand, 1st on the right. Green curry with rice and choice of 2 other veggies, excellent 

That's appalling a customer smoking a pipe in an indoor restaurant- you should have battered him with that sausage😀

I knew there was something I forgot this morning stocking up in Fascino🤔
