  1. The thread is about Robin Hood Tavèrn in The Avenue not Robin's Nest on Soi Dianne. There is no connection between the two businesses.
  2. They are doing delivery via Grab now. I haven't had a delivery since they started using Grab but a mate has and said it was very efficient.
  3. Greg's Little House Cafe and Deli is on Soi Nernplebwan according to their Facebook page.
  4. The main ME carriers have multiple flights ex BKK throughout the day. If you're going to Heathrow I wouldn't expect connections to be a problem, I am pretty sure that, like Manchester, they have a number of flights per day. For instance I think Emirates is up to 4 flights per day between Dubai and Manchester.
  5. Normally plenty of meter taxis and private hire songteaws by the busstop. They are a bit sharkish. I generally find that they won't take less than 200 baht to Pratumnak so probably expect to psy 250-300 to Soi 13.
  6. Soi 6 on Jomtien Beach Road is your best bet. Yellow House would be my go to place but haven't been for a while. Same as Pattaya loads of happy ending places around, some better than others.
  7. There are a couple of larger TTs on Second Road in the Pattayaland area which have off-street space, also a couple in Jomtien going down towards the beach.
  8. Ok but also thought they might make an interesting topic in their own right, 'What to do in the afternoon around Soi Buakhau and Central Pattaya'.
  9. Both do cheap draft beer, Far East has a happy hour until 4 o'clock with bottled beers at 85 baht, after that it's around 120-130 baht depending on your poison, LDs around 130 baht. Most of the others in the area have similar prices although the only happy hour I am not sure about is Nevada. Quality is variable but overall I would say it's average to poor with the occasional diamond available. Edit: To add to Teelack's point about GCs, there are five just off Soi Buakhau without having to go over Third Road: The Den, Club Excite, Club 555, Club Baku and Baku Lounge, (some open a bit
  10. A different group but a similar set up. Not as pushy and coming up with a few offers to get punters through the door.
  11. Oops forgot to post earlier. Stg st 37.42 at TT on Buakhau this afternoon. (About 9 hours ago now).
  12. Agree about Jomtien being better for walking along the beach. The beachside path is very good.
  13. Jomtien is quieter than Pattaya for sure but the sea and main beach are not that much cleaner. You need to go further south before you will see any real benefits. Jomtien Beach also seems to be very popular with Thai visitors on weekends and holidays so traffic can also be heavy. Living costs probably aren't that much cheaper than Pattaya either. With so much surplus accommodation in the area there are deals available everywhere if you look hard enough. The bars are more like local bars than party bars, great for a few quiet beers but not particularly exciting. Beer prices are prett
  14. That was me and only for a laugh. I have a horrible feeling the bookies have got it right, 8/15 before a ball was kicked.?
  15. It just keeps getting worse. Down about 30 satangs since a rate I saw posted on Facebook this morning.
  16. So that's why there was hardly anyone on Soi 6.?
  17. There is a build up of traffic going towards the lights at Second Road and Klang but not too bad with low season traffic.
  18. Just some drainage work. Started around Songkran. Looks like they are making decent progress.
  19. It'll be interesting to hear how you get on. Walking along Buakhau a few years ago during one of these events you were competing with motorbikes for any space that wasn't occupied by a car or baht bus. That was when I decided I had had enough of living in Central Pattaya.
  20. Traffic will be manic. I've always walked everywhere on music or firework festival nights. Loads of places to stop off for a beer.
  21. Although still a minority I am sometimes surprised at just how many girls have cars. Only the other week I was sitting at a local beer bar and one of the quieter, older ladies was loading up her car to go home. A mate was also telling me about a friend of his girlfriend who has recently bought a Toyota Fortuner to operate a taxi business. The girls are getting richer, and it is not as rare as it was in the past for a girl to own a car. Granted there is often a falang involved somewhere.
  22. Technically we maybe in the wet season now but Pattaya escapes the worst of the rains. June - August there is likely to be some rain but not everyday and generally not for prolonged periods. September and October are the wettest months but even then Pattaya does not get as much rain as other areas such as Phuket and much of Isaan.
  23. They've been digging up the front of The Avenue and are now laying concrete. Acess from Second Road is limited. Best way in at the moment is via the car park. A week or so there was a way in by going around the side of Firepork but this is not currently available. The other day my mate and I ended up walking the plank over wet concrete to get to Second Road. Not great for businesses there in what is a very quiet low season anyway.
