A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

Reasonable bt1500 for regular room. Villa family room 2500. Very sa’ad, no plastic only cash. Can rent motor cycle and bike go to nearby beach.

yup, hidden gem. Really like the way the resort allow the guests to pick their own rooms. First time I heard of such priviledges.

4th floor hiso food court at Central festival beach, dio boh?

They also operate one in Royal Garden but not sure still have or not. Used to have stall selling sinkie food but closed down. Foodwise more international and better quality than the basement loso foodcourt.

Dio lah!

Oh...the one at Royal Garden is a similar set up ? Not sure if it has nice view like the one @ Central Festival. I would prefer Royal Garden as it's easier to find a car park lot, and nearer to Thappraya too. But if you are already at Royal Garden, it's hard not to go to "Took Lae Dee", the restaurant belonging to Foodland.

I have been to the one at Central Festival. The view is really good, and the layout excellent.

Saw the Google photos of those 2 restaurants. A bit rowdy, very unlike the "hiso" ambience of Pan Pan Restaurant.

Wooden Box is a good alternative, but lacks that "classy feeling" compared to Pan Pan.

Actually Pan Pan is more of a classic or old school style. The interior and furniture especially the rattan chairs are still the same as 10 years ago. Still using the white table cloths.

Though not as atas as Pan Pan, Lindas can try. Not that rowdy but can be a little noisy due to the distance between the main road and restaurant. Not so good if need to have important discussion with companion.

Actually, if you are willing to go a little further, I recommend the Sky Gallery in Pratamnak.

Is this the same as Chocolate Factory ? Yeah, I think this is the perfect venue near Thappraya.

Pattaya have a number of FB groups, mainly buy/sell and food delivery. Also have special post about traffic mata. Usually the members post location and pics of the location to warn other members. And the code word used is “Nam Tuam” which means flood.

In this case, the location is the junction at Sukumvit/Soi Siam Country club.

Yup. Thats the one. Parking should not be a problem during off peak hours but in the worst case, just park abit further.

Great fresh rocket salad

Perfectly pan fried

What can I say

Chilian seabass with mushrooms and bacon

Great food, great company

 

[Charlie99]

Chilean seabass is one of my favourite.
Rather expensive in Toronto, at about Cdn$45 a pound
