Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel situated in Soi 2 North Pattaya is ony 5 minutes walk from my condo. It offers very good food & excellent coffee.

Entrance from Soi 2

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Located halfway between Beach Rd & 2nd Rd.

Coffee was excellent

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

I visit Starbucks once or twice every day, but I must admit this coffee was far better. It’s a shame they don’t give the choice of a large mug as well as a cup.

Interesting wall prints

In fact they have included a lot of interesting prints & furniture.

Interesting coffee tables. 🙂

It’s nice to see some unusual objects. 🙂

Chandeliers

Lot’s of different areas to sit in peace & quiet. 🙂

Outdoor seating

Must be catering for the smokers, why else would you sit out in the heat?

Lunch was excellent

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Hong Kong noodles were as good as I have had anywhere. In fact the food impressed me so much I dined 2 days in a row. 🙂

Breakfast is B450 or $19 AUD, I’ll stick with the Queen Victoria in Soi 6, breakfast is B99. 🙂 

Feels like a library

A lot of thought has gone into the decor as you can clearly see.

Lunch two days in a row

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Chicken teriyaki was excellent, as was the coffee afterwards. The service is also very good, the waiter continually tops up my glass of water. 🙂

Coffee grinder

Every home should have one, don’t you agree? 🙂 You can see my reflection lurking in the background.

Location

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Easy to find & close to the Baht bus route. Luckily it’s only five minutes walk from my condo in Markland on Beach Road. 🙂

Many thanks for visiting my Gather Ground Payaa Hotel photo blog, make sure you visit as the food & coffee is exceptional.

Counter only started March 2nd 2022.

My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets. I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington. Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand. What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :) I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit. Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ???? Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia. Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
