Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

July 19, 2020 by David Herd

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya at the Royal Cruise hotel, which is named because it looks like an actual cruise ship. Malibrew is a rather spectacular bar & an interesting concept, with some good points & some bad which we will discuss below.

Main entrance is on Soi 2.

About 60 meters from Beach Road.

Happy hour is between 5 & 6 pm.

You can get 2 for one Singha for only B120 or $3.80 USD. The bar has only been open for a few days & strangely enough has no craft beer on sale yet.

Price list

Red wine is B290 per glass which is way too expensive in my opinion.

Open plan kitchen

The food is very reasonably priced.

Cold appetizers

good selection here.

Main course

Menu is a computer tablet, my preference is a normal style menu, but I guess I’m a bit of a dinosaur. 🙂

More main course choices

I had the spaghetti & meatballs.

Spaghetti & meatballs

Enjoyable without being exceptional.

Beer taps are not connected yet.

I can’t help wondering why they opened before the craft beer was available.

Another dining area

Lots of places to sit at Malibrew Craft Beer A-One Pattaya.

Here is the entertainment area

I have already admitted to being a dinosaur so please view my comments accordingly. I was 2/3 through my meal at 7.30 & the music started. A guitarist & a drummer decided to pound out around 100 decibels. It was so loud I didn’t finish my meal, I just paid my bill & left.

Many thanks for visiting my Craft Beer A-One Pattaya photo blog.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

July 8, 2020 by David Herd

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya is located in the arcade off 2nd road opposite Mike shopping mall. In the same arcade you will find Patrick’s & the Beefeater.

A table or a booth sir?

Plenty of space between the tables. 🙂

Walking Street

This is dated 1960, however it should show 1980, the reason is I actually took the photo on my first visit to Pattaya.

The original photo

That’s my friend Rob Symonds walking towards the camera. We have visited Manila & Hong Kong on the way to Thailand. Follow THIS LINK for more 1980 photos.

July promotion was exceptional value.

B595 or $19 USD.

Lobster Bisque to begin

It tasted as good as it looks. 🙂

Australian Ribeye

At Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya this Australian Ribeye was extremely tender & tasty.

Guess who was celebrating his birthday?

Guilty as charged. 🙂

Creme Brulee is a favourite of mine.

It was a toss up between this & the Tiramisu. Creme Brulee is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is normally served slightly chilled; the heat from the caramelizing process tends to warm the top of the custard, while leaving the center cool. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla in French cuisine or with cinnamon and lemon in Catalan cuisine, but can have other flavorings. It is sometimes garnished with fruit.

Toast Skagen, one of my all time favorites.

The Beefeater also offers Skagen. Toast Skagen is an appetizer and Swedish food. Consisting of two slices of toast, mayonnaise and many prawns. Sometimes crabs are used instead of shrimp. The name of the dish originated from Skagen in Denmark, but the dish is not very well-known and most popular in Sweden, which was created by the restaurant and chef from Stockholm Tore Wretman. He introduced the Toast Skagen … Wikipedia

Australian Shiraz

Tonight I chose to take my own wine as it was a special occasion, the corkage fee is B300, or $9 USD.

Tiramisu

Very rich, I prefer the Creme Brulee.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Thanks for visiting my Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya photo blog, I highly recommend this excellent restaurant. Don’t forget In the same arcade you will find two other very good restaurants Patrick’s & the Beefeater.

Aussie guys visit Cuba

June 22, 2020 by David Herd

Aussie guys visit Cuba

Aussie guys visit Cuba as part of their Central American adventure, then the Covid-19 virus started spreading around the world. Sadly this caused them to cancel the rest of their trip & fly back to Australia.

La Plaza bar & restaurant

Michael Thornton, my brother Warren Herd, Doug Beattie & Chris Lockwood aka Dr Evil.

Tour Guide

Narrow streets in Havana

One of many forced marches across town with full kit because the streets were too narrow for vans & buses to get to our accomodation.

The boys are bored silly.

Waiting a couple of hours in a busy bus station did not excite us.

Vinales valley

With the pincushion mountains in the background. The thatched roof building is a tobacco leaf drying shed.

A Cuban tractor.

Having a cigar break?

Hey Chris check out the horses arse.

Fuck off Dougie, your getting stranger than that other idiot you brought with you.

One of our tour guides

Making friends with little porkey.

Cuban Schoolgirls

Walking along the sea wall that was built by Americans.

Beautiful old American cars

American cars were imported into Cuba for about 50 years, beginning near the early 20th century. After the Cuban Revolution, the U.S. embargo was erected and Castro banned the importation of American cars and mechanical parts. That’s why Cuba is the way it is today—essentially a living museum for classic cars.

Rickshaw & classic cars

Choose your transport in Havana, taxis, classic cars or rickshaws.

Maybe this is more your style

It’s probably a Uber. 🙂

Our best meal in Havana

Lamb with Cuban sauce with rice & vegetables.

Desperately looking for a signal

Panic is setting in, everyone is frantically trying to get a signal.

Is Warren taking the knee

False alarm, he is also looking for a signal. 🙂

A giant cock

Please give it a rest Kevin, it’s a bit early for your cock jokes.

The tour group

March 2020 in Vinales Valley Cuba.

Looking west from our hotel balcony

Lamparilla St, in English it means night light or small lamp.

Our last night in Cuba

Aussie guys visit Cuba

Hallelujah! Free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.

Thanks for visiting the Aussie guys visit Cuba photo blog. Here is David Herd’s trip to Cuba in 2001.

Here is my favourite artist, Celia Cruz, was a Cuban singer and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century. Cruz rose to fame in Cuba during the 1950s as a singer of guarachas, earning the nickname “La Guarachera de Cuba”. Wikipedia

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

March 21, 2020 by David Herd

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya is ranked by TripAdvisor number 40 of 1340 restaurants in Pattaya. Every Sunday they have a Mexican “all you can eat” buffet. Another excellent feature here is they offer 3 sizes of the steak of your choice.

My friend Larry Krausz

Larry loved his food & really enjoyed visiting the Beefeater, sadly he suffered a major stroke & passed away in 2017.

Toast Skagen

Here is the dish I always have at the Beefeater, the owner/chey is Scandinavian so I guess that’s why Skagen is on the menu.

Toast Skagen – Shrimps in dill mayonnaise served on toast

Ham & salad baguette

The Beefeater Steak House Pattaya offers so much more than just steak, the baguette is excellent as is the Lobster bisque.

Talking about the Lobster Bisque

Very rich as you can imagine.

Prices seem to be creeping up

It’s now 2021 in the middle of the Covid crisis & most venues seem to be lowering prices or offering specials, however not here I’m afraid.

For anyone with a sweet tooth. 🙂

A classic banana split to finish off an excellent meal.

Apple Pie

Homemade apple crumble pie with custard and vanilla ice cream, absolutely delicious.

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

A well stocked bar for you to choose from.

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

Located in an arcade on the corner of 2nd Road & Soi Diana. Opposite another well known Pattaya Steak house, Patricks Belgium Restaurant.

Xoho Chinese Cafe Pattaya

March 14, 2020 by David Herd

Xoho Chinese Cafe Pattaya

Xoho Chinese Cafe Pattaya located in Terminal 21 North Pattaya. There are nearly 100 food outlets in this fabulous shopping mall & Xoho is one of my favourites. The high quality food is reasonably priced.

Prawn dumpling soup

This dish is a must have, I order it every time I visit this nice restaurant. I’m usually here at lunch time & it’s normally very quiet. Cost of the soup is B130 or $4.00 USD.

Modern pleasant decor

There is both indoor & outdoor seating here.

Dumplings to die for…

I find it hard to explore the rest of the menu & find myself continually ordering the same favourite dishes.

My brother Warren also likes the Prawn Dumpling Soup.

Always repeating the same dishes must run in the family. Over coming weeks I’ll endeavor to widen my selection. 🙂

BBQ Pork Buns

Certainly as good as I have eaten anywhere in Pattaya, B59 or $1.80 USD.

Xoho Chinese Cafe Pattaya Dim Sum Combo

A small sample for B79, or $2.40 USD.

Xoho Chinese Cafe Pattaya

Located on the 2nd floor right next door to Arnos Steak & Burgers.

There is quite a number of excellent restaurants on the 2nd floor, IO Italian Osteria is another one of my favourites.

XOHO Chinese Cafe, the Hong Kong style Chinese restaurant opened at the beginning of 2020. The shop is on the 7th floor of the MBK Center. In-store menus, in addition to Dim Sum, There are also menus grilled ducks, red pork, crispy pork, porridge, noodles and various fried rice.

Pattaya storm water solution

March 11, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya storm water solution

Pattaya storm water solution involves digging up part of Beach road and laying a 2 meter pipe underground to stop the storm water flooding the road & footpath.

Huge drain pipe

Lets hope this strategy works, the current system has never been able to handle the huge volume of water from storms in the wet season. It is not just the water that falls on Beach Rd, most of the Soi’s in North Pattaya run down hill from 2nd Road bringing a huge volume of water that runs over the footpath and destroys huge sections of the beach.

Here’s what happens to the beach

This has been the case for many years. For more storm damage just follow THIS LINK.

Here is a video of the flooding

Beach Rd Pattaya flooded, more water than Songkran.

Watch this video on YouTube

That’s a lot of water right there.

They are sparing no expense on equipment

It’s a very noisy disruptive project, let’s hope it works.

No problem on the footpath

All the disruption is on the actual road, traffic of course move very slowing with on one or two lanes to use.

Near Soi one

I must give them credit, they are making good progress.

Pattaya storm water solution

Trucks and excavators all along Beach Road.

This footpath is going to need some work. 🙂

It’s now March 2023 & I think we are in for another 6 months of pain before this project is completed. Having said that I really believe the workers are doing a great job & as fast as possible.

Opposite Markland Soi 1 March 15

Progress is being made.

Pristine equipment

This fabulous gizmo is probably only 30 years old. 🙂

Finally the steamroller arrives

This one will leave you rather flat. Steam, what steam? I don’t see any steam. 🙂

May 21 2020

I’m guessing it will take another 6 months to level up & re-fit all the pavers.

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

March 10, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya-Beach-Coronavirus,Chinese-tourists

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya which has resulted in a 44% drop in tourists in February 2020. Many Thai people find themselves without work so they have left Pattaya to return to their villages in the country. As you can see the beach is deserted at 8am on March 3rd 2020, only a few short months ago it was teeming with Chinese tourists.

This is how it was…

Seven days a week thousands of Chinese tourists would storm the beach to clamber aboard the boats to para-sail & visit Koh Larn island.

Typical over powered tourist boat

Only about 25% of the boats remain on Pattaya Beach, the rest are in moth balls. 🙂

Patrick is feeling lonely

Well known restaurateur Patrick Van Den Berghe finds himself alone on the beach, time for him to go back to his steakhouse & order some French oysters & lamb shanks. 🙂

Pattaya Beach never looked so good

Of course my opinion is purely a selfish one, however there really is nothing to like about thousands of Chinese tourists inhabiting the beach. 🙂

“There is high chance that the country will be in a technical recession — contraction of the economy for two consecutive quarters,” said Anusorn Tamajai, director of Economic and Business Research Centre at Rangsit University.

The masked man cometh

I actually tried a mask, I hated it & lasted 1 hour, in fact it was because of pollution not the virus.

Pattaya pollution

This was January 10 2020.

This was a typical Pattaya morning

Hundreds of buses would clog up beach road from 8 am seven days a week.

Waiting to pick up the tourists around mid day.

It’s fantastic now without these monsters taking over Beach Road.

Nothing like a peaceful Pattaya morning

Well folks enjoy it while you can because at some stage in the future the dreaded Chinese tourists will return. 🙂

A beautiful Pattaya morning

March 8 2020 & a perfect day. See for yourself on my webcam, just follow THIS LINK.

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

This man & his dog are loving the peaceful atmosphere.

Desperate times in Pattaya

People queue in jomtien for a free meal outside Yupins. Twice a day. The queue goes past The Venue, past The Spring Onion, down the road, round the corner and today reached Dicks Cafe. 75% of working age people have lost their jobs in Pattaya. No savings, & no chance of getting any money over the next few months. Can’t pay their rent & 3000 are homeless. They can’t sleep on the beach without getting arrested. Can’t sleep in the parks (closed) and can’t sleep on the street (strict curfew after 10pm). Desperate, desperate times here for these poor people.

Here are the numbers as of March 10 2020

Thailand doesn’t feature in the high risk area.

Lets put it in perspective

One hell of a difference don’t you agree?

Thailand on march 11 2020 cancelled visa on arrival for 18 countries.

On Wednesday March 11th Donald Trump announced the United States would ban all travel from Europe for 30 days.

Thai Airways suspending all Italy flights to and from Italy following the Italian government’s decision to lock down the country to contain the coronavirus outbreak.

Thailand update September 11 2020

The figures are excellent, they may resume flights etc before Xmas.

Businesses close in Pattaya

Burger King on 2nd Rd has closed it’s doors as well as 2 other branches, beach Rd & Central Fesival.

Coffee shop at the Bay

Another one bites the dust.

Niseko Ski Resort Japan

February 13, 2020 by David Herd

Niseko Ski Resort Japan

Niseko Ski Resort Japan is the most famous and popular of the all of the Japanese ski resorts, offering a variety of accommodation, fantastic restaurants and modern facilities to complement the epic mountain.

Mt. Niseko-Annupuri

Not a bad view. 🙂

Coronaviris

As you can see my friend Hamish Elton is in contact with the Coronavirus. Hamish took all the photos for this blog, but it seems he spent more time in the wonderful restaurants than on the slopes. 🙂

See what I mean

Hokkaido is like a crab-lovers fairy-tale with its coastal waters containing some of the biggest and most delicious crab in the world. Famous hairy crab, snow crab and king crab are abundant, and each morning in the markets of Hakodate and Otaru, buyers and sellers trade the best crab available. Many of these crabs are purchased by Niseko restaurant owners, and within just a few hours, could be on your plate!

Hokkaido is famous for seafood

Make sure you take your platinum credit card. 🙂

Komagatake Single Malt

This will help keep you warm in the snow.

Single Malt Komagatake Limited Edition 2018 is a blend of "nicely aged" whiskies that have spent at least 3 years in either a Bourbon cask or an American White Oak cask. Unlike the Double Cellars and Yakushima Aging releases, the Limited Edition 2018 is aged entirely in Shinshu.

Ezo Seafood Oyster Bar

Salmon roe is another Hokkaido favourite that you simply must try in Niseko. Often marinated or soaked in soy sauce to add a rich, savoury element to the flavour, the 'popping' sensation when eating Ikura is a fun experience when dining with friends. You will commonly find ikura served with uni in a rice bowl or salad.

Little girl, big crab

She had to struggle to get it out of the tank. 🙂

Team Hamish

On the final night the mob decided to have Indian food instead of seafood, I can't imagine why? 🙂

Magic mountain

The team from Healthcert

They provide medical and Patient Education: In collaboration with universities and other teaching institutions, Min focus is to teach GPs how to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.
