We are all different mate.

I like the fact there are more things to do during the day. Prices have gone up and the exchange rate is crap for us sterling folks, but the price of a shag is still cheap.

The drug scene seems to be getting worse and worse every time I visit. That would be my one gripe.

If you would have experienced it 15 to 20 years ago I think you'd have loved it.

Yes, but you will get to batter and deep fry your own Mars Bars and Pizza’s. 

👍

Not in a Chinese takeaway, no. But the restaurant where my Wife cooks, serves dishes chocolate chicken and black pudding tempura. As well as the full Chinese menu. Chocolate chicken is delicious. Just a tiny bit of chocolate in it.

Been there many times. Haynes manuals in the old days.

Everything was easier in the old days john1000. Every job now requires special tools. In my day you loosened off a bleed nipple and pushed a caliper piston back with  g clamp. Nothing easy now.

Just fitted rear brake pads to my car. As usual nothing goes to plan. The wind back brake caliper tool I bought didn't fit. Had to clamp and grind the locking pad/piece into the shape of my caliper. Fits all models it said. Nope, not a Vauxhall. Anyhow 2 hours wasted dinking around with that. Job done.

Le Pub is a beer bar situated on the Soi Diamond walkway between Second Rd and Walking St.

We open between 4pm till 4am Mon, Tuesday and Wednesday and 2pm till 4am Thurs, Fri, Saturday and Sunday.

There's a happy hour from open till 7pm. 

Currently we have about 15 ladies working and look forward to meeting you. Sit and enjoy people watching on the soi at the entrance to the bar or go inside and enjoy the aircon comfort. 

We have pool table and the best wifi in Pattaya with three service providers. we play music videos from the 70s to the present day at a sensible volume level. When there's live sport we feature that too on four tv's, three 55 inch and one massive 75 inch screens. Featured sports include AFL, NRL Premiership rugby and rugby Internationals, golf, cricket, NFL and college football. Premier League football, La Liga football and f1 is shown in new 4K Ultra HD resolution. 

The coffee we serve is made from imported Lavaza beans, freshly ground. I take a lot of time and effort making sure the beer and soft drinks are VERY cold ( not the usual Pattaya luke warm) and we do not sell copy spirits anywhere. All our spirits and genuine branded originals. Currently we sell draught imported cider but soon we will be selling another two draught products (think a stout from Ireland and a expensive beer from Belgium) 

Finally our toilets are spotlessly clean and you can dry your hands with either paper towels or my Dyson airblade hand dryer. Soon we will be introducing wireless charging pads throughout the bar. 

I hope you can come down and say hello if you are hitting Walking St. You won't be paying Walking St rip-off prices, I keep them as low as I can. 

I've posted some photos of my current line up. Be kind as I'm not a gogo full of drop dead gorgeous spinners, I'm a beer bar but my bar fines and lady drinks reflect that. 

All Thailand 247 members are welcome any time. 

 

 

 

Lovely girls Phil. Gawd how I need a holiday.

Vauxhall Astra CDTI Ecoflex. £30 a year tax and between 50 and 70mpg. 

Bought a motorbike but too wet here to use it much.

I think as it is in Prachuap Khiri Khan it is classed as southern Thailand. Cha Am on the other hand is in Petchaburi and may just count as Central.

Hua HIn by the way is a wonderful place, lived there 5 years.

I'd love to see it.

TG bar, Mods bar, Thumbs Up, Red Point, Kiss Kool. So many great bars back then. 

Mods Soi 6, that was great. The Soi's ruined now.

You need to read. Stimulate the mind. 

My Son's heavily into youtube educational stuff. Especially the Cosmos. Watch it with Him every night. Amazing what you can pick up, even at my age.

We don't watch UK tv it's seriously depressing.

Haven't read anything in ages, to my shame.

Used to be a prolific reader. 

Don't seem to have the time. Have to make time.

Same here. Apart from stuff on facebook, forums and the odd look at my car maintenance manual, that's about it.

Planet Rock was the starting point, then soi 6 then Walking st, behaved a bit as my Dad was out and we were meeting my Mum in Blues Factory later lol.

Those were the days. It's changed so much now.

VIP, mate, you know it makes sense 

Hmm... maybe.

Started my stag night off in Pattayaland in 2003.

Loved the go-go strip. Misty, Bubbles, Rodeo, Planet Rock etc.

Nice looking girl Arty. 

Nice to see all the pics of Thai girls, I missed that elsewhere. 

I've got plenty but they might not be allowed on here.

Everybody lost.

Dunno Andy I think the Japanese and German economies did well post War. As did the British. Many lives lost but I think it meant prosperity for many Countries in the War. 

The people lost, the money machine won.

Many on the Pattayaland strip. Used to be lots of good go-go's there a long time ago.

Watching the World at War. Still brings a tear to my eye how we lost.

Cheers Andy, I have  an electric deep fat fryer which I use frequently  Chips to me are like rice is to Thais, part of my staple diet

I know the feeling I love em. I always twice cook them too.  

Finished making about 2kg of curry paste. This will keep me happy for a few weeks or months.

Told ya, there's one decent Thai restaurant in Tenerife, only decent mind, not even great, and you have prebook or you won't get a table, it's rammed, and not cheap either.

Couple of smaller supposed Thai places as well, but they're Chinese, my missus wouldn't entertain them. 

My Mrs cooks Chinese for a living Derek, She can cook Thai but the Western type is different, to suit our pallets. But yeah, I'm selling up here so anything possible. Don't know the score after Brexit but if we needed to buy work permits etc I'd do that.

On my bucket list to see these places.

Yes Lanzarote is full of them.. some really good Irish live music bars in Puerto del carmen.

Interesting indeed. I'll need to research Spain in depth a bit.

Thought you were going to the Emerald Isle, mate?

Most probably Derek. We never bought the takeaway although the owner keeps reducing His offer. It's very tempting but naw, I got the house to finish I need the time.

Having a wee peek at Spanish property, I miss the sunshine but I think I prefer Guinness.

He has no right saying that about anybody. That fellow laid His life on the line to save those kids and teacher.
