"Pattaya Meals" cooking and delivery service

[MM 6,562]

I started using this small family run business back in early March when I found a flyer on my car with their menu.

They deliver to most places west of Sukhimvit, from Naklua Pattaya Klang south to Jomtien...east Pattaya might be in the cards later.

They have just expanded their menu (see their website at http://pattayameals.com/ in the past days, so now they have gone from 16 to 30 items, all cooked when you order and delivered rapidly.

Today I had the pan seared white fish with mashed potatoes and asparagus for 165 baht. I ordered via Facebook message to their Facebook user "Pattaya Meals" (https://www.facebook.com/PattayaMeals/ ), though you can also order by phone or by email to their website.

Now, get this...from the time I ordered until the food arrived was 18 minutes! She said they had no orders ahead of me, so the service was exceptionally fast. The longest I have waited has been 35 minutes, so if you want to eat RIGHT NOW and you don't want to go out, this is a great choice (assuming there is something on the menu you like).

Once you have ordered one time, they have all your address information already, and you just say what you want. There is NO DELIVERY CHARGE, and the drivers don't expect a tip (though I usually give a bit extra).

Great business, highly recommended!

Attached are some photos of meals I have ordered, most about 160 baht.

Wow, that looks like a really good deal. Best food tip I've seen on an Internet board in a long while. I anticipate using them a lot in the coming hot and rainy months. Many thanks!

Yeah, sorry about that. Fixed in OP now.

Just looked at their menu and I must say it all looks really tasty and their prices are very reasonable. Hopefully they will soon be adding East Pattaya to their delivery area. I'd be more than happy to tip the delivery person to bring it to my house here on the dark side.

I tried Pattaya Meals on Tuesday afternoon. We ordered five dishes for three people, with four to be shared among us as a late lunch and one to be taken home by a guest as his supper. Total cost was 820 baht (no tip no delivery change as per PattayaMeals.com. I placed the order at 2.35 pm and it was delivered at 3.25 pm.

The food was delicious and arrived hot. i won't hesitate to order from them again.

I have ordered dozens of times from Pattaya Meals since MM's post back in 2016.   However, I noticed this post on Pattaya Meal's Facebook page when I tried to order recently:

"Pattaya Meals
November 10 at 1:49 PM · 
Due to gross misconduct, theft, scams and a variety of other scumbag actions Pattaya Meals is done. It's a real shame that the hard work of the original owners (who gave the business to this individual on a payment plan) has gone to waste and they've been left owed a large sum of money by the individual in question. It's also abhorrent the manner in which this individual treated the landlords building - inflicting large amounts of damage to both hard fixtures and soft furnishings.

This Facebook page will be closed down as the business has been also.

It is a testament to the kindness and support of the Pattaya community to business owners that it managed to last as long as it did."

 Sad, sad news and an ignominious end for what was originally a small, family-owned Thai business that provided excellent meals and service at low prices.  I did notice a farang had joined the PM team in 2019 and big changes were made, not always for the better.  Both service and the quality of the food started to slip.  I ordered from PM less and less frequently and stopped entirely in September, but decided to give them another try when I saw the above FB post.

Does anyone know what the story was?  I've heard (in a face-to-face conversation, not on the Internet) a version that at least sounds plausible.  If it's true, then a hard-working Thai family really got messed over by several farang acting in concert.  Here I'm going to be pro-active and remind everyone not to name individuals in public posts because of Thailand's strict laws on defamation.

But I would appreciate it very much if anyone who knows the details could send me a private message.  Thanks in advance.

I read on another board that the full story of what happened with Pattaya Meals, including the name of the farang scammer, has appeared on the Breakfast Club Pattaya Facebook group.  I'm not a member there, so I can't  check it out.  But if any BM who is a member would care to PM me the info, I would appreciate it much.  I know Frosty is also interested in this case, so you could message him if you prefer.

Thanks in advance.

It makes sense that it would have been removed.
