You've obviously not stayed in the Jacuzzi suite. Knowing our Antipodean VIP is a size queen, you could get a whole rugby team in that space!

Ah!, So you've put your price up this year by 900%.

During the 80's, seats 1A and 1B were on occasion filled by a Mr. Rupert Murdoch and a Mr. Robert Maxwell, who dispite the public media spat between the two press barons, would converse amicably on the Atlantic Crossing. Your comment of Amercian's and seat sizes sparked my thought, as Captain Bob, aka The Bouncing Czech (a nickname bestowed by none other than Harold Wilson when he was PM) was always a rotund gent. As Peter Sellers said in '72 "Not a lot of people know that".

Just as an anecdotal aside, flew Thai Airways LHR-BKK on Sunday 21st June, it's definately low season, plane was 15% at most full in economy. Business was 75% full. Crew were trying to sell the economy legroom seats at 3000THB just prior to take-off. JC last night was quiet, however Wine Cellar was 80% full, so reputational restaurants holding their own. On the razz Friday, so hopefully a bit more activity as the BKK crowd desend for the weekend.

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.
