Evil Penevil Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 On 2/17/2023 at 12:30 PM, latour82 said: still a lot to do, mostly visiting Pattaya with wife and children,lots of parks around and other entertamintent for kids That's been my experience as well. The Centara Grand Beach Resort in Naklua is one of the best hotels I've ever seen for children. Some years back I stayed there with my then TG and her five-year-old daughter. The little girl loved the place and cried when we checked out. Not only did the hotel have a its own waterpark and dedicated stretch of beach, but also had activities for kid from 8.00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m. It was a dream world for her. I've always recommended the Centara Grand Beach Resort to farang families and those who have stayed there have agreed with my opinion. In addition, Pattaya has numerous daytime attractions suitable for children of all ages. It's easy to avoid the commercial sex scene by not going near a few areas. Even Beach Road before dark doesn't have anything "shocking" for any child. Evil 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hugh cow Posted February 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2023 Am going down to pattaya tomorrow to fix up my visa. I quite enjoy the vibe but I've often wondered how so many bars can make money. I read somewhere that no one really knows how many bars are in Pattaya but estimates go over 2,500 bars. While some managers are good, with that level of competition it amazes me how some managers treat customers as an interruption to their day. I have met some great guys in Pattaya from many countries but unfortunately it attracts a healthy number of morons and pond scum that would be more at home in a penitentiary. How they get in to thailand and seem to remain without getting kicked out with a do not return stamp is a mystery but TIT. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 A couple of questions for the weekend.. Is there anything I should do differently..????? 1. My shopping plan is - RGP for glasses - Mikes for trainers - Night bazaar/buakhao markets for a shirt and shorts 2. Has anybody been to Hemingways to watch footie? is the sound on and lively? I quite fancy a bottle of their Gufo merlot at 850 baht..For the first game 3. Any suggestions for the Leeds game. It is very likely that I will be legless by then..? 4. Triangle or Billabong or anywhere else for music at cheap beer prices...?????...Also considering that I am a miserable fat old fucker that just wants to be left alone.??? 5. Is Bamboo Bar up and running (asking for a friend!)???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) @Derek Dangleberries On 2, the best places I watched sport in on a recent trip were all obvious. All will be pretty rammed on Saturday night, does this contradict the end of point 5?😉 So I'd go left field and watch the first game in Danny's Sports Bar in Treetown. I'd expect he'd have the sound on full volume for the early kick off. His sound system is incredibly good, it's like an immersive experience!! Drowns out all the s*** that is the Treetown bars too. Tried to watch NFL in Hemmingways. 6-30 AM and they had a badly hungover adult a tablet and expect you to punch in your order. Really tricky to use gave up and went to Irish Rovers, which was absolutely jammed but brilliant atmosphere Final obvious pick would be Witherspoons, Dean will definitely have a dedicated screen on showing your game No help on the rest, I'm afraid. Not a fan on the Billabong to put in mildly but many, many others are, Have a great night and do report back what you can remember!!

In Central a very good sports kit place on 2nd or 3 rd floor.....forgot name Sports something..lol... For the old footie these days I like Sports Lounge on Soi Buakhao..opposite Tree Town, big area and loads of TV's...... Bands playing everywhere at the moment, seems like every other bar....No recommendations I'm afraid.... Night bazaar or Mikes for tops and shorts...

Plenty TV's and you won't be bothered. They have access to all NFL games and will be more than happy to replay any NFL game for you. So, you don't have to get up so early for NFL games.

Snide, copies, but really good quality. Not sure what connections he has with what factories, but they're good for copies, and not expensive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
