Italian food Beach Rd

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.

Eleven thousand restaurants

November 2, 2018 by David Herd

Three days dining October 2018

Eleven thousand restaurants & such little time

Eleven thousand restaurants & such little time, dining in Bangkok can be rather confusing, because there are just so many good places to eat. Having said that, I must point out that even after living in Thailand for seven years 90% of my diet is western style food.

The Hass Bistro

Avocados are one of my favourite things to eat & drink in a smoothie. This simple little cafe is in Klang Avenue which runs off Sukhumvit midway between Thong lo & Phrom Phong BTS stations.

Lets take a closer look.

Chicken, cheese & tomato between 2 halves of avocado.

Yuna Japanese Restaurant and Bar

Located near the Grand Swiss hotel in soi 11/1 Nana. Food & service are good with a rather authentic Japanese atmosphere.

Eleven thousand restaurants such little time but I’m really trying. 🙂

The food above + a glass of house wine was total of B920 or $38 Aud or $28 USD. I’m still on my avocado push, notice the tasty serve above with creme cheese. 🙂

Oh no! Not more avocado. 🙂

Of course there is always more when you are addicted to this wonderful fruit. Follow THIS LINK for the many benefits of avocado.

Want a closer look at this great breakfast?

Presented by the Bangkok Baking Company at the JW Marriot on Sukhumvit.

Here is a YouTube video on the many benefits of avocado. Just follow THIS LINK.

El Mercado is El Magnifico.

Much more than a grocery store & delicatessen. My photo blog for lots more information can be found on THIS LINK.

This is what I chose for lunch.

Cultivated in Cancale, in the beautiful Bay of Mont St Michel, Brittany region of France, The Special de Cancale this a slightly acidic oyster loved for its taste of iodine, its firm flesh, light nutty flavor.

Book your Bangkok hotel through THIS LINK for a great discount, plus you can pay later & cancel free of charge if you wish.

For over 20 years I have been enjoying Oxtail stew at the Busstop in Soi 4 Nana.

We used to get double the size for 1/2 the price, oh well I guess that’s just inflation. 🙂

This was the size in 2016.

As you can clearly see the size is shrinking.

Pirate Chambre

It’s a little hard to find the restaurant’s entrance located on the 3rd floor of the Maneeya Centre building, which directly links to BTS Chit Lom at the Siam end. The slow cooked lamb shank is absolutely delicious, more photos on THIS LINK.

Lets not forget Wine Connection.

Spanish style Gambas is my favourite dish at Wine Connection only B210.

Finally farewell from Starbucks at EmQuartier

I’m at one of their outlets nearly every day. Thanks for visiting my Eleven thousand restaurants photo blog.

Small alley beside Nana station

Bangkok Hustle Nana Seven slash one

Bangkok Hustle Nana Seven slash one may sound a little confusing, however let me explain this title. Soi 7/1 is a small alley off Sukhumvit Road adjacent to Nana station. I sometimes stay at a very good budget hotel called iCheck Inn Nana, which is at the end of the street about 200 meters from Sukhumvit Road.

Walking that 200 meters is where the hustle comes into play, you have to pass quite a few massage parlours where the girls & ladyboys are quite relentless in their efforts to lure you inside with the promise of all sorts of graphic exotic experiences. I’ll leave the description of these promises up to your imagination. 🙂

The corner of Soi 7/1 & Sukhumvit Road

That’s Nana station on the upper left of the photo.

One of the popular Thai restaurants in this Soi.

There are 3 or 4 restaurants plus a few small hotels & 6 0r 7 massage parlours.

They call themselves the Bangkok Beer Cafe. 🙂

Just across the road from my hotel, the iCheck Inn Nana.

The pickled Liver traditional British Pub

Located at the end of the Soi on the right hand side.

iCheck Inn Nana

A very good budget hotel with nice rooms & fast internet. Book through THIS LINK for a discounted room rate.

Looking at Soi 11 from my hotel room, see more on this link.

Looking at the Ambassador Hotel in Soi 11. The block of land in the foreground was where Cheap Charlies & several shops & restaurants were located before being demolished in 2017. Once again book through THIS LINK for a discounted room rate with free cancellation & a pay later option.

Anyone fancy a game of pool?

A nice looking bar next to my hotel. Thanks for visiting my Bangkok Hustle Nana Seven slash one photo blog. There are hundreds of secret little Sois in the Sukhumvit area, this has been the story of one of them. 🙂

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

July 18, 2018 by David Herd

Renovated May 2018

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya is certainly one of my favourite restaurants. TripAdvisor rating is #22 of 1,025 Restaurants in Pattaya, however in my opinion it is in the top 10.

Perhaps a salad to start with.

Lots of choices at Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya.

The photo does not do it justice.

The Oxtail soup is fantastic, I often drop in and have it for lunch, followed by a waffle of course. 🙂

Of course I sometime have the pancake instead of the waffle. 🙂

They are both delicious.

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

Dining with my friend Hamish & my brother Warren in May 2018 just after the renovation was completed.

The Tuesday night special.

Without a doubt they serve the best lamb shank in Pattaya, perhaps even the northern hemisphere.

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

The new decor is attractive & modern. This was at 6.30 pm & I was the only customer. 🙂

In case you were wondering, here’s Patrick.

He used to be a parachuter, now he is a biker. 🙂

Early May 2018 they gutted the restaurant.

The finished product is excellent.

Here we are at the old restaurant.

I’m with Greg Clee & Hamish Elton celebrating Hamish’s birthday in 2015. Notice the old fashioned decor?

Can you believe the size of this Tomahawk? 🙂

A whopping 1.5 kilo, I think Hamish could handle it. 🙂

A terrific dinner with friends.

August 31st 2018, 3 Aussies, a Belgium & a Yankee.

Good food & nice people.

From the left we have Dan Escamilla, Hamish Elton, David Herd, Sally Schmidt & Wayne Schmidt.

Another Tuesday night dinner

Half the table ordered the lamb shank. 🙂 From the right we have David Rose, Brendan Tate, Jessica, Hamish Elton, David Herd, Dan Escamilla & last but not least Possum. 🙂

That is a great looking slab of beef.

You would need a huge appetite to get through that. 🙂

Irish stew was exceptional on October 21 2020

Great value at B250 or $8 USD.

Location

Opposite Mike shopping mall in an arcade opposite the Beefeater.

One final look at the Tuesday special.

Lamb shank (French style) & potato au gratin. I only have one criticism of this fine restaurant, the house wine is far too expensive. Everything else is excellent, many thanks for visiting my Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya photo blog.

July 31 st 2020

Belgian waffles & red wine.

Patrick discovers El Mercado

Here is what Patrick had to say about El Mercado; “Didn’t know where to eat tonight in Bangkok so I asked my good friend David Herd who is an expert in Bangkok restaurants. He suggested El Mercado. Wow, what a surprise. Never saw anything like that in Thailand. All those choices of cheeses, cold cuts, seafood and fish. Many wines as well, but a bit on the expensive side. I enjoyed a mixed platter with cheeses and cold cuts, my wife went for the oysters and seafood dish. All in all a success and very enjoyable. Book in advance, packed all the time. Worth a visit when in Bangkok.”

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.

Thanks for visiting my Pattaya Seafood Festival 2018 photo blog.

Happy Trails Volume Two

April 29, 2018 by David Herd

As Satchmo would say, what a wonderful world.

Happy Trails Volume Two

Happy Trails Volume Two is a photo records of some wonderful locations I have been fortunate enough to visit. Producing these photos blogs allows me to re-live many great experiences that I have enjoyed during my long happy life.

The first photo in Volume one was taken in New York so as it’s my favourite city I start again with the Big Apple.

North Coast of Brazil

You have probably never heard of Canoa Quebrada, it’s 164 kilometers from Fortaleza. We travelled along the beautiful long beaches and wandered through the amazing coloured sands.

Balneário Camboriú

Balneário Camboriú is a major beach resort in the Brazilian southern state of Santa Catarina.

Where are those places?

Here is a map to show you where they are. 🙂

Tiananmen Square Beijing

Beijing is a fascinating city full of history and wonderful breathtaking palaces, parks and buildings, and the food, well the food, Peking or should I say Beijing duck is to die for. Not to mention all of the other wonderful cuisines available, even though half the time you don’t know what you are eating. Having said that I must admit the best Peking duck I have ever eaten was the previous week in Shanghai, but that’s another story.

Happy Trails Volume Two include Sofitel Hotel Bangkok

L’Appart restaurant at the recently opened Sofitel is a delightful multi-faceted venue occupying the entire 32nd top floor of the hotel tower.

Nha Trang in Vietnam

All the fishing boats are painted blue, they really look terrific, then again I really like boats. I even found some boat yards where they were repairing and refurbishing some older boats. Constructed from solid timber and designed to handle the rough seas in the monsoon season.

Café A Brasileira in Lisbon

The A Brasileira was opened by Adriano Telles on 19 November 1905 at No.122 (an old shirt shop), to sell “genuine Brazilian coffee” from the State of Minas Gerais, a product generally unappreciated in homes of Lisboetas of that period.

Now I wonder where this is? 🙂

The Tower Bridge is certainly one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

Happy Trails Volume Two includes the girl from Ipanema

I’m at the Garrota de Ipanema restaurant where the song was written. It was inspired by Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (now known as Helô Pinheiro), a seventeen-year-old girl living on Montenegro Street in Ipanema. Daily, she would stroll past the Veloso bar-café, not just to the beach (“each day when she walks to the sea”), but in the everyday course of her life. She would sometimes enter the bar to buy cigarettes for her mother and leave to the sound of wolf-whistles. In the winter of 1962, the composers saw the girl pass by the bar.

Here she is.

The song became so popular, she became a celebrity.

Iguazu Falls Brazil

I’m on the Brazilian side, a walkway along the canyon has an extension to the lower base of Devil’s Throat.

Big crowd at Harajuku Tokyo

It’s Sunday morning & the crowds are huge, Harajuku is renowned for its colorful street art and fashion scene, with quirky vintage clothing stores and cosplay shops along Takeshita Street,

Many come to see the Harajuku girls.

Harajuku girls the term used to describe Japanese youth culture who cos-play or ‘costume play’ on Sundays in the district of Harajuku. Seen as rebels to conformity, Harajuku is a popular place for them to show off their own creations and usually pose for others. Styles include Gothic, Lolita, anime/manga based or futuristic.

Small creek leading to the Mekong River in Vietnam.

You are probably wondering why I don’t wear the rather stylish hat more often, I tend to save it till I’m on Safari. 🙂

Somewhere in the Simpson desert in Australia.

It can get lonely out here, luckily I was with 3 delightful Japanese girls who I took on an epic road trip.

Istanbul Turkey

Great fish meal beside the mighty Bosphorus river.

Heartbreak Sadness Songkran Road Toll

April 16, 2018 by David Herd

The sadness of Songkran

Heartbreak Sadness Songkran

Heartbreak Sadness Songkran Road Toll, the Thai new year celebration is forever tarnished by hundreds of road deaths throughout the country which has the 2nd worst road toll in the world. Only war torn Libya is worse than Thailand.

The accumulated death toll from the first five of the so-called seven dangerous days of Songkran has risen to 323, with 3,140 people hospitalized in over 3,000 road accidents across the country, the Road Safety Centre announced on Monday. On Sunday alone, sixty-nine people were killed and 589 hospitalized in 552 road accidents nationwide.

Credit to Bangkok Post.

Songkran is supposed to be fun.

Children having fun & adults acting like children while the road carnage is totally out of control.

Road toll after 5 days

Worse than last year despite government calls to take care on the roads.

The carnage continues

Commonly known in Thailand as the seven deadly days.

Here is my post from 2016.

Two people burned to death.

What a terrible way to die.

Not much left of the vehicle

This really shows the Heartbreak Sadness Songkran brings to thousands of families.

No chance on a bike.

I believe about 75% of deaths are young motorbike riders.

Tree versus truck

Tree wins every time.

Heartbreak Sadness Songkran day 6.

According to the Bangkok Post police have impounded a total of 13,964 vehicles (10,139 motorcycles and 3,825 cars) from April 11 to 16 for violating the alcohol ban. Police have taken legal action against 147,971 motorcyclists and 86,674 drivers of private vehicles and public transport.

The sad figures.

A total of 176,415 traffic offenders were arrested at 2,013 road checkpoints. Of that number, 49,866 people were not wearing crash helmets and 46,067 people were not carrying a driving licence. Credit BKK Post.

Were they playing chicken?

My guess is someone either went to sleep or was checking his phone.

Two killed 3 injured.

Most of these photos show motor vehicles however 78% of deaths come from motorbikes.

The final count

As horrific as it is sadly it will be repeated same time next year.

Thailand Beach Cam Pattaya is the number one webcam in South East Asia, perhaps even the Universe. 🙂

You can zoom, & e-mail the link to your friends, I hope you enjoy the view.

Pattaya is a city in Thailand, a beach resort popular with tourists and expatriates. It is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Bangkok. Back in the 60s it was a sleepy fishing village before it was discovered by the U.S. military personal on leave from the Vietnam war. Then through out the 1970s it really took off when Europeans, Australians & Americans started pouring in for their annual holidays.

Bookmark Thailand Beach Cam Pattaya so you can check out the view, traffic or weather anytime you wish.
