Happy Man Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Yesterday was my birthday so we decided to eat at the Edge restaurant buffet. Over the years, we have enjoyed their buffet as it was quality food and never found fault. The last time we ate there was about 3 years ago. This time it was a complete disappointment as quality and selection of food and deserts had a poor selection . In the past it was generally crowded with customers but had no more than 25 customers this time. This is a RED flag to me. In addition, the lunch buffet was 1,540 Baht per person. Needless to say, they lost a loyal customer. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CalEden Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 Can confirm Happy Man's review had the Sunday Brunch in October, very disappointing. They have some great Love nests there but overpriced. The Front Corner Shower with Views: Had a lady that was bit of an exhibitionist. Had some great/long watersport sessions in the shower, in balcony tub too. The shower is in front corner room/Hotel. The shower is great for hangovers, shower jet hot water on back of neck and enjoy view for 20 minutes. The Bedroom: The round couch spins, makes for a great pussy Lazy Susan.

I'm sure if they treated this room like a crime scene, the bed would be luminescing blue with my love juices on the bed, couch, and ceiling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first three years of trips to Pattaya I always stayed in the Residence Gardens. Those were the days of my trip reports and photo's of naked young ladies all often posed on the green sofa's they had in the rooms. One forum member, who also stayed regularly in the R G, went absolutely ape shit at me for apparently being responsible for skid marks on the rooms sofa's when there was a perfectly good bed for carnal gymnastics. I bet he didn't always give a large tip to my regular room cleaner immediately after checking into the hotel. Two additional towels per day and the room de-skid marked throughout. 🤣 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less visitors with incomes that can support the higher end places, most likely also less visitors overall. Lower quality fare offered, noticeable change in performance of staff, shorter hours. At some point the business will take on a name change or shut down all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me one of the delights of living in the Pattaya area was the range of quality eating establishments from simple street food to really excellent restaurants. Unfortunately a favorite restaurant more than once became a source of disappointment for the simple reason the chef changed. If it ain't broke, why fix it?
