Agree - Sarica has no atmosphere. Happy Beer Garden is much better albeit not as good as it used to be when on the other side of the street in front of Montien where the building housing the Burger King is now located. I recall a Tuktuk was incorporated into the design in those days and the restaurant spilled out onto the pavement and was indeed a Happy Beer Garden

Yes it is on Patpong 2 upstairs near Hot Male. It has a big sign you can see from street level. Whilst it has karaoke, you can also go in just for a drink

Tommy from Happy Beer Garden also owns Off Key which is a very fun bar with cute guys. If you order food at Off Key, it is cooked and delivered by Happy Beer Garden. Off Key stays open very late

LINE MAN RIDE, GRAB and BOLT are the main taxi apps in Bangkok. Uber does not operate in the City. Within the last week BOLT has received a warning that its licence may not be renewed unless it improves safety / security issues. For travel from BKK to Pattaya, I recommend https://mikepattayataxi.com

The iPods direct interpretation currently only works in for a small number of languages. Thai unfortunately is not one of them

Perhaps Aunty Vin could apply for a job as mamasan

Can the mods move this thread into the Pattaya section?

You might have been born in England, but I doubt you lived in England for long as your post is largely incorrect. I was born in England and have lived in England all my life. Asian general refers collectively to people from the Far East as well as India and Pakistan. The term Oriental is not generally used and has negative connotations due to the derogatory expression that is an abhorrent abbreviation of Western Oriental Gentleman. In England the middle of the day meal is known as lunch and the evening meal is dinner or a lighter version can be referred to as supper. Tea is an mid-afternoon meal with a cup of tea often accompanied by a biscuit or slice of cake. A more formal version can be Afternoon Tea or, in Devon or Cornwall, a Cream Tea. In some working class industrial areas a more substantial but basic meal served in early evening is known as “high tea” which is sometimes abbreviated to tea. Wikepedia explains tea well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_(meal)

Perhaps the most dull thread in the history of Gayguides

Thank you for posting such a detailed and informative report. Looking forward to the final instalment about Saigon…..

Sanctuary SMS is definitely H

I didn’t like Raya either and would not return. Cheap but poor quality.

Why did you not ask the restaurant for brown sugar? Just put a teaspoon of brown sugar in your mouth and the heat from the chilli’s instantly dissipates.

Prime actually operate from 4 separate buildings - the main building where the reception is, the building diagonally opposite which backs onto the side of Quarter hotel, the building in your picture and the building immediately to its left.

My very point and reason for use of the word deadly. These electric scooters are so dangerous
