Some people may find it exciting to be nearly knocked over by a 183 centimetre LadyBoy walking along Soi Buakhao but not me. πŸ™‚ Apologies for the blurred photo but I guess my hand was shaking a little out of fear of being accosted. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Location

Corner of Soi Buakhao & Soi Lengkee

         My mistake I think this is one street north of Lenkee.

Pook Bar

Exciting Soi Buakhao Pattaya

 Pook bar closed in mid 2014. It used to be located on Soi Buakhao in Pattaya, Thailand. In its day it was the largest and best known ladyboy bar in the city. The same owner has a Pook Bar in Soi 6.

Corner LK Metro and Soi Buakhao

Cheap Charlies restaurant

Cheap Charlie's Pattaya Restaurant

One of the very good low price restaurants in busy Soi Buakhao. The Hungry Hippo is another one that is worth a visit.

Hungry Hippo,Their soup is excellent.

If I had to vote for the best value restaurant in Pattaya the Hungry Hippo would be number one. 

So is their hamburger
