Starbucks Pattaya every morning

Starbucks Pattaya every morning

Starbucks Pattaya every morning is a perfect start to my day. Not just the excellent coffee, the friendly smiling staff always put me in a positive mood. Above is the branch at The Bay on Beach Road Pattaya between Soi 5 & Soi 6.

The Bay Beach Road

Let’s go to Starbucks & stare at our phones. 🙂

Opening day at the Bay

September 22 2015.

My breakfast of choice.

Ham & cheese croissant with a tall latte. B240 or $7.8 USD

There are two Starbucks at Central Festival

That makes 4 within 10 minutes walk from my condo.

Inside Central Festival branch

Quite an attractive fit out.

A birthday candle for me. 🙂

As I mentioned earlier the smiles on girls are a really nice start for the day.

Sometimes they run out of croissants.

So I settle for a sandwich. 🙂

Starbucks Pattaya every morning

Every 12 coffee is free if you have a Starbucks card so I often take one home for later. Also they often have a two for one offer.

Almond croissant

A nice alternative to the ham & cheese.

Mr Donuts

Starbucks change B115 for a latte, here at Mr Donuts I paid B93 for what you see.

Xmas day 2021

Two of the lovely girls who look after me every day. 🙂

Gold Coast birthday celebrations.

July 13, 2019 by David Herd

Gold Coast birthday celebrations

Gold Coast birthday celebrations in July 2019 bought back many wonderful memories for me. Thursday 4th was the 38th birthday for Melbas on the park, & Sunday 7th was mine.

On the left above is old friend Lloyd Ross who without a doubt has spent more money in Melbas than anyone else by a country mile. In the middle is the general manager Dave Allen the son of the legendary Melbas founder Paul Allen.

For a look at some of the great Melbas memories just follow THIS LINK.

I recall my first visit to this iconic restaurant/nightclub was January 1st 1982. This was the start of an amazing year, just check out THIS LINK.

July 7 another birthday.

Great to catch up with friends at my favourite Gold Coast venue. From the left is Mike Nidrie, Graham LaRoche, aka “Biff”, yours truly, Renata & Nick Partridge.

The usual suspects

From the left we have Phil Thomson, aka Baldrich, Greg Craig, aka Noodles, David Robertson, aka Chocolates, & Tony Murphy, aka Murph the Surf.

You gotta love the oysters

A dozen Tasmanian oysters is a weekend special for $24.

Three amigos

Gold Coast birthday celebrations David Herd, Dave Allen & Bruce Grady.

Say hello to Belle Reed.

The smiling Melbas Mamasan. 🙂 What is a Mamansan you may well ask? well follow THIS LINK.

Gold Coast birthday celebrations

Many thanks to my friends & Melbas staff for helping me celebrate my birthday, & thanks to you for checking out my Gold Coast birthday celebrations photo blog. The huge glass in my hand is called a Fish Bowl, give me Jack Daniel’s any day. 🙂

MYTT Hotel Pattaya Thailand

March 6, 2019 by David Herd

MYTT-Hotel-Pattaya-A-One-hotel- Markland-

MYTT Hotel Pattaya Thailand

MYTT Hotel Pattaya Thailand is part of the A-One hotel group & is located in Soi 3. I watched the whole construction process from my condo in Markland one street away in Soi 1.

Spectacular entrance

As you can clearly see it’s a stunning foyer.

The view from my condo

I’m on the 20th floor of Markland in Soi one & the MYTT is in Soi two.

Here is the building site.

It was quite a radical change to Soi 2.

The Kitch restaurant

Many people may find the name is a rather poor choice, here is the meaning courtesy of Google; “Kitsch is art that’s garish, nostalgic, and very low-brow. Some people who love the aesthetics of souvenir culture think kitsch is really cool, while others think it’s in very poor taste. Kitsch is a German word that’s been adopted into English, meaning“worthless, trashy art,” or the quality of that art.”

Swish may have been a better name.

Kitch may be short for kitchen, but it’s pronounced the same as kitsch. Swish means impressively smart and fashionable, which the restaurant certainly is. 🙂

Live lobsters

The following is from their website; Seafood Buffet Dinner Promotion • 2,500 THB per person includes unlimited Lobster(serve half of the Lobster at once). Not include a beverage. • 3,000 THB per person includes unlimited Lobster (serve half of the Lobster at once) and also beverage (Alcohol included) Special discount for you to add Line @:MYTTHOTEL or check on Facebook. Please kindly contact MYTT Hotel Pattaya Thailand directly to get the special discount.

Sky Bar on the 19th floor

A nice atmosphere with a great view, far too expensive for my budget however. A Singha beer is B220 or $9.80 AUD. Most of the beer bars in Pattaya sell it between B65 & B85.

At last they have a “special”.

They invite you to join them every Friday for 99 Be Mine – where 99 Baht gets you a glass of wine, a pint of beer or 3 in 1 Tapas.

Small intimate bar

Two DJs were playing fairly loud music, as they do in Thailand. 🙂

Looking over Pattaya

The view at night is rather stunning.

Looking south from the 2nd floor of the Sky bar.

Looking north

Towards Terminal 21 & the Holiday Inn.

Final feast Mantra Pattaya

February 18, 2019 by David Herd

Final feast Mantra Pattaya

Final feast Mantra Pattaya Sunday brunch with friends, I have so many memories of great moments in the last 12 years at this wonderful restaurant. This photo blog features many of the long lunches dating back to 2007.

We are going to miss the fabulous food.

Alaskan crab & oysters from France have always been my favourite at the Mantra Sunday brunch. Having said that I must admit the quality has been going down slightly in the last 2 or 3 years. I apologize for this criticism just their standards were always so high I guess they were hard to maintain.

The seafood section.

I would always ask to be seated near the seafood & sushi. 🙂

Final feast Mantra Pattaya, lets not forget the cold Sake. 🙂

Included in the price of the buffet, so I would always take full advantage of this special.

My friend from Sydney Roland Bonnici.

Roland loves dining out & the Mantra was his favourite Pattaya restaurant. This visit was a week before it closed on February 10 2019.

From the Chinese kitchen.

Pork Belly, roast pork & duck, delicious.

A favourite dish

From the Chinese wok the beef & onion creation just melts in your mouth.

Wonderful decor

The Mantra featured 7 different kitchens.

Lets look at previous years, 2007 Trevor & Nui.

Trevor hails from Western Australia & spends lots of time in Pattaya.

This was 2008.

Nick Partridge from the Gold Coast & his lovely lady Sharron have been Mantra fans since the beginning.

Big group in 2010

At the back is Trevor & his son Cameron + xxx, then myself, my brother Warren, Nok & Phil Avalon, & at the front we have Greg Johnston & Herbie Pastor.

Big birthday with lots of friends.

No better place to celebrate than the Mantra.

Beautiful Benjamas Sitthi

Ben now works at the Avani Hotel adjacent to Royal Gardens.

Before Ben there was Amy

Amy really knew how to make you feel welcome.

Another birthday in 2009.

I remember this one very well, my great Phil Thomson from Australia bought his 21 yo son Michael to Pattaya as part of his introduction to life in the fast lane. 🙂

March 2012.

Another super Sunday.

February 2010

On the left is my brother Warren & Bill Austin & Joan Baptiste from Wiltshire in England.

Xmas with Yaowaluck Bumrungthum aka Kartoon

For Xmas day lunch the Mantra was always our choice.

How could we forget Pothole aka John Martin.

We call him Pothole Bin Ladin the mouse of Markland. A flashback to Potholes birthday, aka John David Martin, at the Mantra in 2013 when love was sweet.

Allan & Vicki Chiswick from Sydney.

Laem Chabang Their cruise ship spent 24 hours at Laem Chabang so they hightailed to the Mantra. 🙂

Putting on the Ritz

Finally here are some of the glamorous Mantra girls putting on the Ritz.

Check out three previous Mantra photo blogs here. Number one,

Italian food Beach Rd

January 19, 2019 by David Herd

Italian food Beach Rd

Italian food Beach Rd Pattaya at Trattoria Pizzeria Toscana is a delightful experience. TripAdvisor obviously agree with a rating of 45 out of 1,111 Restaurants in Pattaya. Owner & chef Luca Marchetti is originally from Pracchiola, a tiny village in the mountains to the north of Tuscany.

Flashback to 2006

The original restaurant was on the block where the Holiday Inn is now situated.

Here’s to old times in 2006

The restaurant was much smaller & more intimate, in fact I preferred the atmosphere to the current location which seats over 700 people.

Pizza with parma ham.

Definitely one of my favourites.

Fettuccine is absolutely delicious.

Of course they serve every kind of pasta & pizza imaginable.

Memories of 2012

Dinner & red wine with Irina from Ukraine.

Take your pick

It all looks so good, Toscana’s menu is huge.

There are several sections of the restaurant

This is my preferred area to dine.

What a fearsome sight this is.

The big fellow Luca with a knife in his hand should be avoided at all cost. 🙂

Lots of stock in the cold room.

Luca operates his own organic and sustainable farm not far from Pattaya where he grows his own vegetables, rears free-range chickens, rabbits, ducks, pigeons, guinea fowl, wild boar, goats, sheep, pigs and cows. No processed food, no growth hormones, no chemicals, no problem. 🙂

Another pizza

Notice the anchovies on the side, delicious.

The boys from Oz in 2014

Lenny, yours truly & my brother Warren. Sadly we lost Lenny early 2016 after losing a battle with cancer, RIP.

Seafood anyone?

Toscana has recently opened a new seafood section in the front garden.

Lots of wine, mainly ITALIAN.

Quite a few wines available y the glass.

A very friendly waitress in 2014.

As you can see I’m not a person who misses a photo opportunity. 🙂

Dinner with friends January 2019

From the left we have May, Alex, Hamish & Gary.

Hamish’s favourite

Beef carpaccio tasted as good as it looked.

May chose the Baby Clams aka Pippies.

This is the same dish she had on New Years Eve.

Quail for dinner December 2021

Quite tasty but very fiddly to eat.

Thanks for visiting my Italian food Beach Rd Pattaya photo blog.

AVANI Pattaya Resort gardens

December 1, 2018 by David Herd

Beautiful tropical garden in the heart of Pattaya.

AVANI Pattaya Resort

AVANI Pattaya Resort gardens and pool area has a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. I remember staying at this hotel way back in 1998 whit was call the Royal Garden Resort. More recently it was the Marriott.

The main entrance from 2nd Rd.

The property runs all the way to Beach Road & is adjacent to the Royal Garden Plaza shopping mall.

Entrance to Royal Garden Plaza is next door to Avani Resort.

Lots of interesting shops & a very good food court.

AVANI Pattaya Resort gardens reception

Has not changed much in 20 years. 🙂

Lounge bar off the foyer however the pool area is the main attraction.

This lovely hotel is in a perfect location, TripAdvisor rate it number 10 out of 497 hotels in Pattaya. If you would like a very good discounted room rate with free cancellation & a pay later option, just book through THIS LINK.

AVANI Pattaya Resort from Beach Road

Wander through this arch & enter the beautiful gardens.

Now we start seeing Thai architecture.

Plants & trees grow at a very rapid rate in Thailand as you can imagine.

AVANI Pattaya Resort has a beautiful inviting pool

It has a pool bar as you cane see where you can sip a cocktail or a cold beer while you cool off. 🙂

It really feels like you are on a tropical island.

You are surrounded by a fabulous tropical environment.

My question is “where are the macaws”?

I took this photo in November 2012 when the property was run by the Marriott, they had 2 of these fabulous birds living in a cage in the gardens, however most of the time they were on a perch outside the cage. I wonder where they have gone?

All I could find were swans. 🙂

Nowhere near as beautiful as the Macaws. 🙂

Lots of places to sit here.

They serve Thai food in the garden at a very reasonable price for a five star hotel.

Table tennis & sun lounges

Lots to do & a terrific shopping mall next door.

AVANI Pattaya Resort the rooms are excellent as you would expect.

Please remember what I said earlier, if you would like a very good discounted room rate with free cancellation & a pay later option, just book through THIS LINK.

At the Beach Rd entrance there is a Benihana sake bar.

A few shots of sake will get you in the mood to party. 🙂

New Wine Connection

Turn left when you exit at Beach Road & 30 meters along is one of my favourite restaurants, the Wine Connection. It just opened on November 28 2018. See their fabulous on THIS LINK.

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya

October 25, 2018 by David Herd

Pattaya’s last frontier

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya Thailand, you will find them all in Soi 6 Pattaya, which runs 400 meters from Beach Road to 2nd Road.

Soho bar Soi 6

The girls are waiting for a hansum man. 🙂

Beer Babes LadyBoys Pattaya Soi 6

Reasonably quite during the daylight hours this famous street comes to life after dark.

Soi 6 is not known for top shelf babes

In fact in my opinion the majority are rather average. However this no way detracts from the fun & the non stop action in Pattaya’s most notorious Soi.

Photo shoot

I can spot at least two LadyBoys here.

Very glamorous

Dressed to kill. 🙂

Hamish & I watching the parade

Not many streets in Thailand as interesting as Soi 6.

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya

Probably Pattaya’s 2nd most famous Street after Walking St.

Anyone for a fruit smoothie?

As you can see Soi 6 is not all about booze & babes. 🙂

Kelaya 66 is a new bar.

It’s October 2018 & I’m not sure what Kelaya is like but I’ll let you know after I visit.

Sandman is owned by an Aussie guy, Larry Peebles..

A nice friendly bar that shows both AFL & NRL. They also have good food including the terrific Aussie burger for B250 or $10.80 AUD.

Aussie Burger was delicious.

Sandman also have good food including this terrific Aussie burger for B250 or $10.80 AUD.

Foodland Terminal 21 Pattaya

October 20, 2018 by David Herd

A shop with the lot.

Foodland Terminal 21 Pattaya

Foodland Terminal 21 Pattaya is open 24 hours a day, & this branch is head & shoulders above all the others I have visited both here & Bangkok.

Smoked salmon, bring it on.

Slap it on a bagel with cream cheese and sprinkle over some chopped chives.

You gotta love the deli. 🙂

I will definitely be buying lots of leg ham here.

Foodland Terminal 21 Pattaya

A huge selection of goods as you can clearly see.

A very good selection at a reasonable price.

Best supermarket across the road is going to feel the effect of Foodland.

The bakery

Cakes, donuts, bread, croissants you name it.

Lets not forget our friendly butcher.

As I said previously this branch is head & shoulders above all the others I have visited both here & Bangkok.

Not too sure what his job is.

Just entertaining the kids I guess. 🙂

Here is some bad news

Very bad news, the cost of wine in Thailand is shocking, these 2 litre offerings are $30 AUD. Now in Australia you can buy an equivalent 4 litre cask for $12. That’s $3 a litre as opposed to $15 in Thailand.

Perhaps I should buy some grapes & make my own wine.

Wait a minute I don’t have a bath tub where I can crush them.

This is a fair question. 🙂

I guess I’ll have to grin & bear it at $15 a litre.

Here is the Foodland restaurant.

I’m a regular customer for breakfast at the branch at Royal Gardens, it’s a steel at 65 Baht or $2.80 AUD.

Open 24 hours a day

A huge advantage for me is the adjacent Starbucks, I have tea with my breakfast then move to Starbucks for my coffee. 🙂

Excellent quality & value.

B65 is so cheap & the eggs are perfect. 🙂

OK, I have got to ly, my plane is waiting.

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

May 8, 2018 by David Herd

So much seafood & such little time.

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 was a noisy affair as usual. There is a bandstand on the beach which blasts very ordinary music until the early hours of the morning. My condo is on the 20th floor 400 meters away & the sound hits me full blast even with the door closed. 🙂

Beach Road Pattaya

One of the bigger kitchens along Beach Road.

Prawns, crab & shell fish

A good variety & freshly cooked.

Big variety of meat including crocodile. 🙂

I’m surprised there is no snake or buffalo. 🙂

Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018

One of the many stalls lined along Beach Road.

Here is my favourite shot

A typical spontaneous Thai smile, no wonder we love living here.

Time for a mango shake

Another huge benefit of living in Thailand, the mangoes are wonderful.

OK, I’m confused…..

I have no idea what these bamboo tubes are for.

Busy ladies here on Beach Road

The festival runs for 5 nights and really draws the crowds.

I dined at the same place last year.

In 2017 the food here was great so I decided to give it another whirl.

Small but tasty

I chose 2 dishes from their signature menu, the one above was fine at B159 or $5 USD.

This one not so good.

The calamari was as tough as an old boot & the filling was very average indeed. I would have been better off at one of the smaller stalls.
