Hungry Hippo.....

[jacko 8,578]

This has become a fairly well known eatery in the Bua Khao area catering to the demographic... , part of the cheap and cheerful group with silly names, along perhaps with Cheap Charlies and The Chunky Monkey (my barfine)...... 

It is one I have tried a number of times and been quite content by the important factors, food, price and service. I am particularly keen that one can have a beer with dinner (tea to real men from up North) at a reasonable price.. Many Bangkok coffee shops charge more than Baccarat for one!

So the place may deserve comment... one comment, I see it is up for sale (bahtsold I believe). Owner wanting to head home for health reasons is openly cited, rent 80,000 p.c.m, established, key money paid (how often is that expected?).

I hope it survives in it's present format.

I am quite happy to eat in these lower end farang restaurants. Good value for a decent meal. One thing that I have noticed and would comment on as follows. There seems to be a real under class of farangs in Pattaya. They can been seen crowding the places where large bottles sell for 70 baht and consist of guys and no girls. I understand that for some eking out the pension could be tough. Places such as Cheap Charlie and Hippo and Monkey give these people a good nourishing meal for the price of a beer and I cant help think that for some its a life saver.

You missed off the 8.5mn baht asking price.?
