Ciao Roberto Welcome to the board mate Best of luck for your place, I love italian food so will stop in to say hello August and have a meal with some friends as we stay LK metro area. Can highley recommend you try one of the FLB crawls, so you can meet some of the guys who come out to patts . All a great group,as oposed to some of the childish whinging Keyboard warriors who sometimes post here. All the best Roberto

Pete Your place has been a favorite of mine and all my mates since it opened. Cannot speak highley enough of the place the food(thai seafood salad is the best) and the very Friendly staff (Best service staff in Patts IMHO,who ever looks after your staff training needs a big pat on the back). Just love the torch service on the balconey at night,Great touch that and velly lomantic But this latest promotions takes the place to a new level Ill be one of the falangs with a big smile each tues/fri ,Very well done mate Bruiser

With you 100% there Andy So when is your better half pushing for your next trip? Never had pleasure to meet you but alway enjoyed your posts ,Especially those excallent TRs of yours August /Sept will be heaps of BMs in town a little birdie told me Bruiser

So is this place for long term only??? Havent stayed jomtien before but like area,but only in town 30days at a time.Interesting to here others opinions on basing out of jomtien??

775.6 and PROUD And plan on moving on up in the Fine dept You know that

PSP Was great to catch up with you again as always Hope all goes well at the New Mistys,very well thought out establishment. All the best with your continued success at a great spot ,whitch seems to atract a very good clientele Bruiser

Pete just back from 30 days in fun town For the 2nd trip your place was my favorite stop to eat at. Just a great spot be it day or night. And all your staff are just great always smiling and extremeley helpful Just love going there for dinner,View and Di LOM (good breeze,I think?).And the staff with the torches for the outside tables is just a hoot.Boy did we have fun with that, and your staff play along with us laughing with or at the funny Fallang That Thai Seafood Salad is to Die for (had to remember to ask staff Nit Noi spicey) Otherwise the sinus got a good clearing Ha Ha Only thing might be worth thinking about is removable cushions for outside tables,but we did tend to stay quite a while as we enjoyed your place so much 10 out of 10 mate,very well done. Bruiser

Only wish I could be there Rightsaid Your parties are always Sensational All the best for the Anniversary Hope to see you for your Birthday in August or let me know if you plan on dropping into the Harbour City before then All the best Bruiser

Lk Metro, THE HIDDEN GEM Options Rating Just pasted info from TR section Hope it is use for some Okay Everybody have heard a lot on the forearm re this soi so I thought Id give my 1 bht worth Disclaimer So back in reality and calmed down just , to the slog of work.So Id though i would pass on my experiences of staying in this Soi for 30 days from 24th FEB to 25th March 2009. I am a typical tourist, this is trip number 5 for for me normally 3 wks, but extending to 30 day visa and twice a yr (lifes to short ) I have no financial interest in any bussiness in Thailand.But I must Admit I now class a number of bussinese owners in Patts as friends(not quit sure if the feeling is mutual though ). So lets start with Accomodation All previouse trips stayed highrise big hotels around Patts happy with all.First time Guesthouse,flying solo first time (econimic crunch and all) 1 THE IRISH ROVERS First half of trip stade at this fine establishment Their service started at the airport(problems contacting Mr T and Toon, used before good service). No ploblems(maybe lie cup) one of the 2 top owners of the Rovers (Pat ) "will sort out for you Bruiser" So 1000bht at 12.30 at night, bloke standing waiting for me with sign ,straight to new car and on the road to fun town.How good is this.Then driver says "Mr Bruiser you want me stop shop for drink for you" Talk about SERVICE..." At this piont I new looking after their customers was a priority for Pat and JOE Arrive Irish rovers 2.15 am Night manager waiting for me ."Welcome to The Irish Rovers, would you like a drink while your bags go up to your room Mr Bruiser" How good this I think to myself. Well if you have seen how spotlessley clean the Downstairs bar area is at the Rovers and the beuatifull timber finish of the Bar area you will get an idea exactley what the rooms are Like. I had a large room with a balconey overlooking soi LK metro(rm31) And a large room it was indeed,larger than all the Highrise rooms I had before. And the main 2 words re this place that stood out was FRIENDLEY and CLEAN (And Im talking, real bloody clean) If you want a value for money place to stay, that is big with a full width balconey and in room safe cable and clean ass!! .With management that treats u as a mate rather than a customer you can not go wrong staying HERE Another HUGE plus is the people I met while staying here!!!! Just the best bunch of people who made my stay just so much more enjojable.. Thanks so much to you all So there must be some drawbacks, at such a great price???? I can only think of 2 And Im drawing a long bow here to find them???? 1 No elevators 2 no pool (I just went to Mikes shopping 10th fl 80bht no problem for me) 2 Questions I always ask myself,after I stay at a place? "would I stay again and would I recommend it to my Mates??" ANSWER on the the ROVERS = IN a Heartbeat Thanks Pat ,Joe and there fantasic Day manageress NEE PS they also organise the best golf and Bang Chang trips bye the way,just on the quit 2. second piont stay THE ROCKHOUSE Okay have to be up front here . I have know Mulphy for a couple of years (and count myself lucky that I have,just a top BLOKE in so many respects ). First time stayed RH though! Okay Accomodation First thing you notice is how big the rooms are (40sqm plus, plus big bathroom plus full width Balconey,full glass doors,same as rovers)But more like a studio apartment.Only 1 room per floor!!! Same as rovers clean ass ,open airey and very light and upbeat. Also added to A/C is fans and coffee /tea facilities and mood lighting (dimmer switches witch is a very nice touche),not to mention lounges and coffee table area. The staff are top notch and as with the Rovers the staff work to your schedual and not the other way around as with highrise accomadation,whitch Im sure everyone is aware of Okay Drawbacks For RockHouse Same Same piont 1 and 2 Rovers But again drawing a long Bow Also very hard to just be in bar and have a quick 1, due to calibre of people and management and staff always having a laugh and a drink in BAR Biggest Rockhouse accomadation Drawback= only 3 bloody Rooms BOOK EARLY Would I stay again and recommend to mates ?? In a heartbeat Two other places in Soi I would Highley recommend if cant get in to the first 2 above 3 LK METRO Apartments great spot very clean rooms great facilities Aircon bar and 3 FREE pool tables plus big screen sports. Owner is another very friendley Irishman by the name off Dennis and a top bloke he is aswell 4 is the new Armagedon great new renovated place Very well respected senior BM staying here longterm (no names,loose lips sink ships) And for very good reasons Very good rooms and bar area free pool table And new owner Mark is a terrific bloke (for a Kiwi ,). CENTRAL LOCATION Extremely Central Baht bus both ways Soi buikhow ,only waited maximum 2/3 minute and straight to walking st 10mins to PBG. North, walk to 2nd rd 5mins and on Baht bus Beach rd =down Soi dianna thru Mikes shopping if u want A/c and your there!! I dont think anywhere else could be anymore central to the whole of Patts ?? But Im sure some may beg to differ EATING OUT Heaps of good places to eat One of my favorites was the Golf Club ,very good food at a very good price .Both Thai and Fallang and the LARGE 35bht cup of tea you could nearly dive in Awesome for day after gents Another unsng great was the Steak n grill opp RH One of our favorite specials was! Salad,steak, pepper sauce ,many Veges plus Ice cream 185bht (And I was as full as a fat ladies sock and being about 115kg Aussie Im not to bad on the tooth ) Plus al the cart going around Give one of the ladies 100bht and be amazed at just how much food they bring back And it tastes great (sorry no bug for me,I know Im a lightweight) Entertainment Okay where do I start 1 Go-Gos my number 1 pick Oasis great place with a very surprisingley quality slection.With great BGs with fun atitude!! And the owner Rob or was It Bob from U S of A always keen to hand out free Sambucas to FLB crawlers (2 occasions).And would seem to be a good mate of his countryman MM 2 Club Ice Not exactley my scene more for the younger crowd Young people and there loud music AHHHHH But top eye candy 3 champagne never actually went in, to full on crawl but seem to have some good cuties and happy hour Always good combination 4 ICE Bar Same Same champaigne But always seemed very Quite while I was there 5 Round the corner PAPAGOYER Always going ofF Many cuties hit it on one of the FLB crawls Only good reports Again greaat eye candy ,but cannot report past this Im afraid Add to this list LOLITAS Hell club Huge number of BBs on dianna and may other bas on LKMetro And I believe you have a great area to try out A number of nights a group of us would go out (some a lot more experienced than me).And we wouldnt leave this Block No its no Walking Street But if you want that ,Go to Walking st But I think its a great place to stay and Have Fun Many may disagree(please pass on your reason, I would be interested to hear) but this is my FACTUAL upto date account(left 24th March 2009) of this Hidden GEM Give it a try You might be pleasantly SURPRISED

Thanks so much for the earley heads up on the HAPPY HOUR Mate (think first night,MMs Party),but we all enjoyed it mate, prior to partyand on other nights. Great Value For a Go-Go you could actually talk to the stunning ladies,what a novell IDEA . Gotta be in front of the crowd just with this Aspect alone PSP All the best Mate See u next trip (Usual spot with your lap top) Bruiser

Sound like the typical "happily Married" couple Happily married = She Happy ,He Married oh the pain of it all Bruiser

Just a quick update on St Patricks party at the rovers In a word SENSATIONAL Everthing about this night was first class.Food, entertainment and staff didnt stop all night! Of course the friendley Hosts Joe and the birthday boy himself Pat were indeed the hosts with the most It was indeed a pleasure to not only be there for this great night but to also stay there for half my trip.Fairdinkum I couldnt fault the place. For spotlessley clean rooms with top notch staff and bar in a central yet quit part of town this place value for money has to be one of the best in LK metro and pattaya This place is really worth checking out even for a chill out couple of drinks on the comfie lounges watching the world go by to start your night of in Town! Looking forward to visiting this bar and staff again All the best Bruiser

Geeze guys lighten up a bit just a bit of a laugh,If it makes you feel better take a couple of shots at us Aussies.We sure give you enough ammunition.Take our politicians, PLEASE I didnt think there was any malise involved in origanal post. I must have been a very lucky guy as all the Americans and English(even under 50yr olds,Not you Ting Tong) I have met from the board are all great guys.Who all get on fantastic and tend to have a laugh at ourselves and our differences.It is meeting people from all over the world in Patts that is one of the towns endering features. Try a bar crawl with a couple Aussies ,Poms ,Yanks,Irish,Scots and a few europeans.Not forgetting a canadian(couldnt forget you Green Malaka).And you have a Awesome day with heaps of banter and laughs,deffinently an experience not to be missed All the Best Bruiser
