The Queen Vic is a very friendly and well-run hotel/restaurant/bar, but of course it caters to single farang men and is slap-bang in the middle of Soi 6, which a woman with attitude or undue sensitivities might find unsettling. If you have breakfast there as well (the fry-up is really good), you'll be sharing the bar area with blokes treating their latest overnight guest to a meal before she heads off. Other than that, the only practical issue is the fact that the Queen Vic has no lift and you need to negotiate the stairs to get to your room. All in all, if you're bring your wife to Pattaya i

Thanks for the update. I eat at PBG frequently in the evenings, and both the food and staff are always excellent. Congratulations on a really well-run place to relax and feel ok in. There's even a urinal at normal farang height in the mens' loo - very thoughtful. I have one suggestion that would make a visit more pleasant on evenings when there is no breeze coming off the water, namely portable fans that can be brought to the tables in the outside area on request. It can get really uncomfortable out there when the weather is muggy, and that's turned a few meals into misery for lack of a breath

Wonderful party, thanks for the pics. I don't know any beer-bar in Patts where so many of the ladies are such good fun during a party, though I'm happy to do comparative checks if I find time.

Thanks for a good party Lee, you obviously enjoyed yourself as much as everyone else. Quality checks ... you lucky bugger ..

Couldn't agree more, I spent a lot of time at CB2 and always felt comfortable. I'll miss it, as Cherry Bar in Soi 8 is surrounded by too much noise for a decent chat when the mood takes. Nonetheless I'm very pleased for Adam, glad you have got out from under mate. I know you were very fond of Cherry Too as well, but it's all for the best.

Don't worry Lee, you still look (about) 26. I'll be sure to come in and help you celebrate.

Women: The most efficient method yet devised for transferring semen from the bedroom to the bathroom. What's the difference between a woman and a fridge? A fridge doesn't fart when you take the meat out. How do you recognise the bride at an Essex wedding? She's the one with the clean T-shirt How do you know when a Liverpool girl is coming? She drops her chips

A woman scanned the guests at a party and spotted an attractive man standing alone. As she approached him, she said, "Hello, my name is Carmen Gold." "That's a beautiful name" he said, "Is it a family name?" "No", she replied. "I gave it to myself. It reflects the things I like most in life, Cars, Men and Fine Jewellery. What's your Name?" she asked. He replied, "B.J. Titsengolf"

Congratulations on your first year chaps, I'll be there to drink to the next few.

Right Joe, its an exhortation to polish men (presumably for their pleasure). Reminds me of the Daily Mail headline after the Battle of El Alamein: 8th Army push bottles up Germans

A really good bunch of pics Adam, and a really good party - see you tonight for another one.

I was having a meal with a lady at PBG on Friday when you obviously held the first draw, and wondered what all the shrieking was about, and where all these bloody tasty birds had suddenly sprung from. Somehow felt I should have come alone to get on the hunt. Great idea Pete, really good, and the suggestion about having a draw every day is also a good one on the face of it. Congratulations to you, PBG is a great place to be - the girls I take there love it too.

After all that's been said, a word of praise when it's due. I took my girl to PBG on New Year's Eve at around 7.30. The place was almost full. We both ordered the chicken cordon bleu, which really is excellent, and the food arrived within 20 minutes. Had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, keep it up Pete.

I'll defer to your judgement on the steak, as I've never tried it there, and if you enjoy the 'fish and chips' that's fine too, but I'm a Brit and know what it should be like to merit the description - it's quite simply misleading to a Brit.

I turned up at the Beer Garden this evening at around 7.30, looking forward to a good meal and the very friendly, polite staff. Knowing you'd had problems with the kitchens, I sat down to order and took the precaution of asking the waitress how long the average wait for food was - 45 minutes she said. I was hungry and that was unacceptable (as it is anywhere), so I left. What a bloody shame, really disappointing. Went across Beach Road to the Old Heidelberg restaurant instead - my urgent advice incidentally is to avoid this overpriced and uncomfortable place - what is shown on the menu as 'fis

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.' Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...' 'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.' 'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my

A lady golfer was stung by a wasp just as she was starting her round, so she went back to the clubhouse to get it treated. Inside she happened on the pro and told him why she'd come back early. He asked her where she's got stung. "Between the first and second holes." "Well, I'd say your stance was too wide then."

I always stay at the Eastin Hotel, a really nice, big, luxurious place near enough to anything you and your girl will want to visit. Book via e.g. agoda and pay 2500 Bt or less for a very good room and great breakfast.

Didn't know the 11th is vet's day in the US. So it coincides with our UK tradition of marking the 11th November (or the nearest Sunday to it for the official ceremony) as Remembrance Day. The guns fell silent at 11 am on 11.11.1918 to end the 1st World War. I've always found it ironic that the Germans also mark 11 am on the 11th November as a special day - it's the official start of the carnival season WTF

Sounds good Jason, hope you do really well. I'll be staying just up the road from you in December and will definitely come in to say hi.

Thanks for getting back to me, good info. I'll get over to Patts soonish and try my luck on the spot.

Hi Jason, we've not met but I've seen your posts re. condos for rent. I'm looking to rent something up to about 20 k per month in either Patts or Jomtien from mid-December for 3 months, possibly much longer. Must have Internet, 2 bedrooms would be nice but not essential. Anything on your books or are my chances slim at this time of year? Thanks in advance for your help.

It gets worse than this: According to the latest information, breweries have started adding female hormones to beer on the quiet. This is hard to believe, but the effects are too obvious to ignore: after eight to twelve bottles of this pernicious brew, a man has difficulty in driving a car, has to sit down to pee and starts talking a load of nonsense.
