Prominent dieticians have spoken highly of the need for a light walk after dinner to aid digestion, blood sugar control to prevent insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes, reduce hypertension and improve sleep quality. They suggest a non energetic 10 to 15 minute walk. Ironically, the walk from the new G's Pratumnak to your favorite condo, Grande Caribbean, is a mere 15 minutes. Means we'll have your dulcet tones and antipodean wit for many a year to come.

To misquote Basil Fawlty, "He's from Australia".

What the smart man about Pattaya is doing. Wear Your Own.

I think the one not working might have been having dinner at G's!

The infamous British Public School system might have something to do with it!

Agree with the 4 person logic, as our meal on the 14th of March started off at 4, but turned into a somewhat tight 7 by the end of the evening. However, with planning I'm quite sure G's could accommodate a long table, as opposed to the usual units of 4, ie like a traditional German Bierkeller.

Not sure on working bars, but the unit in front of CockA2 is owned by a Thai lady, however she's not interested in using it to run a business, hence why it's been neglected and run down for years. The old inherit it and forget it scenario.

Knowing you're in town on a weekend, did look out for you. No worries, catch up with you later in the year.

No comment.

Photo taken at 22:13. If I had known, would have introduced myself.

Cracking evening at G's. Cloudy taking up Residence under table 12. Can't recommend enough the Aspell's Premier Cru Cider from Suffolk, England at at mere 6.8%. 3 Down and now on the Pierre William liqueurs whilst 'aving a cough and a drag out on the terrace. The new Jomtien resturant (in Pratumnak) on track for a July opening. Catching up with @Reader on his return. Food on point, as always.

As in cents?

He's called Shaun.

A standard Greggs Sausage Roll typically measures about 15 cm in length(5.9"), 4.5 cm in width(1.8"), and 4 cm in height(1.6").It weighs approximately 103g to 106g (3.6oz to 3.7oz) and packs around 348 to 360 calories. While only slightly longer in length that the BJU June 2015 systematic review, citing 12.1 cm or 5.2" as the average male members length. So slightly more in a Greg's sausage roll, However, if following a calorie controlled diet, I would stick with the real thing, as it's only on average between 5 and 25 calories per shot!

If you do invite George, make sure you've got a plumbed in radiator and a set of hand cuffs. Believe he's into that sort of thing!

Happy to recommend this as well. Been on my to-do list for a long time. Location is on Trappraya Road, just up from The Bus Station, View Talay 1 and just before Grande Carabbean condo. Definitely the best quality Italian in Jomtien. Inside and outside dining, approx. 30 covers inside, good extensive wine list, and food service on point. Shared starter, 2 mains including a melt in your mouth Aussi tenderloin (Fillet, Filet Mignon or Eye of Fillet if you're Aussi) steak, bread, wine, Italian Brandy and a couple of Expresso's, change of 3000. Going back Saturday to investigate the wine cellar in more detail.

There are a couple of Barber / Hairdresser services you can find in Jomtien on Grindr if you take a look. Been tempted, but have stuck to a local shop near Tukcom with local no-frills rates, ie 140THB.

There's a couple on Pattaya 3rd Road. Win 89 Tomboy Bar & 4 Step Tomboy. Found this YT by a local Taffy poster.

This popped up on the local FB feed for JC. The poster went onto clarify:- So that's alright then.

Ah, the old Usain Bolt mindset. Read recently that 2 weeks before a major competition he eats nothing but McD's chicken McNuggets, as needs to built protein and quality guaranteed, rather than sample any of the local stuff.

Nice. Ensure you get an inside table, so AirCon'd. The outside tables will give you the lively ambience of the complex. Peter (Brit) the owner is a local wine importer, got the impression he services Poseidon/The Wine Cellar amongst his clients. Noticed a lot of similarities. On the 2 times I've visited, food has been good. Mediterranean in style with a selection of Thai dishes. Got the impression, that despite closing early, normally fall into the category of "farang sit, farang drink" at CockA2, so notice it closes between 21:00 and 22:00 whilst sipping my gin and FeverTree, his wine business is his main passion. Been away the last month, so unsure of status of the new resturant Schatze's, which is likely to have similar fare. Out for a wander later, so will check on Schatze's status.

Yer right, unfortunately no Pie&Mash shops serving 'Liquor', but the rest of the international fare can be readily found.

Closest we get is a needle exchange. Up to you where you shoot.

Er' we go again. 2 3 4. You can't go wrong with The Wine Cellar, which is part of The Poseidon Hotel. On your right as you enter JC from the Trappraya Road entrance. 22/23 May is Chef Bart's next 16 dishes menu, like a Chef's tasting menu. Price normally 1200THB, eat as much as you can. Next theme is 'World of Food'. Link to menu:- https://poseidonpattaya.com/16-dishes-22-23-may-2026/ For Mexican, then Buenos Mexican in JC, just down from The Wine Cellar, else a short Bolt or BahtBus away (heading towards Pats), is Mike's Mexican. For French then Yupins in JC, across from CockA2, or Natan's which is on Trappraya Road, across from Take Care Bar which is a live rock music venue, or up from Lone Star Saloon Bar if you like your live music Texas and Country. For a really good French restaurant, then recommend La Bordeaux, which is in Pattaya, behind TukCom. Link to last week's Table d'hôte menu :- https://maps.app.goo.gl/5qCSLsJvCrFa5N5T8 In terms of posh Thai, then May's on Trepprasit Road. Else for cracking value Isan, then Zaab High, to your left as you look out from the front door of TukCom. Be warned, if you ask for it hot, it will be!! For Italian, then with a family feel, Salotto on Trappraya Road, just up from Tinnies Pies, which is ripper Aussi Tucker. Bewarned. Salotto's pizza's are big! Else Tattoria Delina which is at the back of the Jomtien Bus / Coach depot. For traditional English pub grub, then Hemmingways on Trappraya Road, on your right as you exit JC. Sports bar fee, so plenty of TV's. If it's late night alcohol soakage you're after, then none finer then 2 or 3 7/11 hot ham and cheese toasties! On the other hand, for all you can eat Surf&Turf, then The Hilton over in Pats, do a good quality Smash-And-Grab buffet, they also do an unlimited wine option at 1300THB. Depending on if you have a Hilton loyalty status or not, you can get upto 25% discount off the bill. Enjoy.

One for the Brits, (of a certain age). Couldn't find a picture of @Olddaddy, but found this of Big Daddy taking down Giant Haystacks back in '84. Them were the days... Where size matters!
