Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant at Chit Lom, 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.

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

Walk down the narrow stairs & through the bar into the beautiful restaurant.

Excellent decor

I really like the fact the tables are not too close together which certainly improves the atmosphere.

Book your Bangkok hotel through THIS LINK for a great discount, you can pay later or cancel if you wish.

Baked seafood entree

This tasty dish is prepared and served in a traditional snail serving tray.

This is a superb dish beautiful served

This superb entree featured morsels of French mussels, clams & prawns, flavoured & baked with herb butter, cheddar, Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.

If you lean closer to the screen I’m sure you will be able to smell the garlic. 🙂

An important message

This really is the best advice I can give you. 🙂

Beef Ribs

Another dish cooked perfectly was the bone-in braised beef short rib in red wine sauce (750 baht), slow-cooked until the meat became soft and fell off the bone, yet still retained a pleasant chewy texture. Notice the packet of baked garlic which was very tasty indeed.

A choice of vegetables

Choose the vegetables that you prefer with your ribs.

Here is my favourite main course

The slow cooked lamb shank is absolutely delicious.

Anyone for cake?

It would not be a proper Italian restaurant without cake. 🙂

In Bangkok you must visit some of the wonderful sky bars.

Farewell from Pirate Chambre

The photos I like the best. 🙂

FiveStarVagabond favourite photos

FiveStarVagabond favourite photos taken over many years by me, David Herd. To many people they will be nothing special, however they are very special indeed to me. Sometimes it’s the image itself that appeals & other times it’s the memory of where I was at the time.

My boulevarde of broken dreams.

Where else but New York City, it was a cold February night on the corner of 8th & W 48th st, I was about to have dinner in a terrific French Brasserie called Pigalle.

Hoi Ann Vietnam

I doubt if there is any photo I have taken that I like better than this one.

Songkran in Thailand

My number one Songkran photo taken in Pattaya. Each year a massive water fight is held to commemorate the new year. The downside is the hundreds of lives that are lost on the roads during the Seven days of madness.

Kanazawa Japan

This beautiful garden is at Kanazawa Castle. This great Japanese city west of Tokyo was a real surprise packet.

A typical Sunday on Copacabana Beach

What more can you say about Rio De Janeiro that hasn’t already been said? A beautiful exciting city with some of the best beaches in the world.

Verona Italy

Coffee time in Verona.

Sunset & Silhouettes

Opposite my condo in Beach Rd Pattaya.

Cloud over Pattaya

There is something special about clouds & I’m so lucky lving in Pattaya where the clouds & sunsets are spectacular.

Praia da Pipa north east Brazil

Praia da Pipa may well be one of the most idealic spots on planet Earth, I really must return one day.

A quick paint job in Nha Trang Vietnam.

I really love these timber fishing boats.

Gold Hill Shaftesbury

This town in Dorset where the view looking down from the top of the street has been described as “one of the most romantic sights in England.

Poolside in Koh Samui

A beautiful beachside pool on the island of Koh Samui.

The most beautiful skin colour in the world.

Copababana beach, where else 🙂

The saddest face I have ever seen.

I was in HCMC aka Saigon when approached by this little girl begging for money. I knew she would give it to her mother waiting nearby, & possibly the mother would have to hand it over to local gangsters. Consequently I filled a plate of food which she devoured rather quickly.

There is nothing quite like a Siam sunset in Pattaya.

This amazing view is from my Markland Condo in Beach Rd Pattaya.

Last but not least.

Am I having fun in Paraty, you bet I am. Three hours from Rio & one of my favourite towns in Brazil.

Thanks for visiting my FiveStarVagabond favourite photos blog. Without a doubt there will be a volume two. 🙂

Building Terminal 21 Pattaya

April 5, 2017 by David Herd

New Pattaya Shopping Mall

Building Terminal 21 Pattaya

Building Terminal 21 Pattaya started in November 2015 when they started demolishing the shopping complex. That seemed to take the best part of a year before actual building commenced. Now they are really making progress as you will see from this photo blog.

It’s a huge site adjacent to the Dolphin roundabout as you can see from the above photo.

A popular cafe

I used to often have breakfast at this popular little Thai restaurant beside the Dolphin roundabout.

Above you see it, below you don’t. 🙂

November 2015 and they start demolishing.

The wrecking ball at work.

It’s a huge job pulling down this large building, it is taking months & months.

Slowly everything is coming apart

Escalators & elevators have already gone.

Here comes the heavy machinery

Now they are getting serious. 🙂

Workplace health & safety

Does not really exist in Thailand. 🙂

Looking like a bomb site December 24 2015

You could be mistaken thinking this is a war zone.

Bye bye Hong Club

Not sure what went on here but it’s all over now folks.

All this has to be removed

Knocking it down seems like the easy part, now somebody has to remove the rubble.

OK, we are getting somewhere May 21st 2016

In the top left hand corner you can see the Dolphin roundabout.

Building Terminal 21 Pattaya

You may recognise 2nd Rd North Pattaya.

Pile drivers are here.

June 28th 2016 8 months after the start.

Phoenix rising

February 6th 2017 and we see the start of the building.

March 27 2017

They are working at a frantic pace, 7 or 8 cranes are in operation.

April 2nd 2017

At this rate I think they will finish by mid 2018.

This shows the progress

Taken from the 26th flor of Markland Condo.

An exciting project.

This is only the shopping mall section, the 25 story hotel is going up at the back of the shops.

July 18 2017

The work never stops.

October 21 2017

The mall is really taking shape.

November 6 2017

These guys work 24/7.

Sky Bar perhaps

Looks like there will be a sky bat at Terminal 21.

Waiting for take off. 🙂

No, it’s not Pattaya’s new airport. 🙂

We have lift off.

July 29 and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Almost finished on the outside.

August 25th & the end is in sight.

Centrepoint Hotel

The entrance to the 400 room hotel.

Outside area almost finished.

Normally you would see 100 workers here. 🙂

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro

December 16, 2016 by David Herd

Wine Connection Silom

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro chain of restaurants has quickly become one of my favourite places to eat in Thailand. Excellent food and a great selection of wine at reasonable prices.

Beside Sala Daeng Sky Train station

Located in the basement of the Silom Complex right below Starbucks.

Spanish Style Gambas

My favourite dish at Wine Connection only B210.

Very reasonable prices

Not just the food, the wine prices are also very affordable.

THE GRILL @ CentralWorld

Located on the ground floor at CentralWorld, Wine Connection claim The Grill is their most upmarket outlet.

Pasta & Salmon

Absolutely delicious Serrano Ham & Truffle Oil Fettuccine only B230 or $6.50 USD.

Lots of fresh pasta

By now you probably understand why Wine Connection is such a favourite of mine. 🙂

South African Red wine

On special at B499 a bottle or $14 USD.

Wine Connection @ Rainhill

This is my favourite location, just a short walk from Phrom Phong BTS station.

Large cheese selection

A selection of cheese and a nice bottle of red, what more could you want?

Wine cellar

Wines from all over the world at very reasonable prices.

Great value food & wine

Every Wednesday from 7 pm to 9 pm there is free flow wine & beer for B499.

Location

Take the Sky Train or a taxi along Sukhumvit.

Wine Connection at Central Festival Samui

We only spent 4 nights in Koh Samui and chose to eat here twice.

Low cost wine

They offer a wonderful selection of wine from all over the world at liquor store prices. Our red wine from Chile was a bargain B650.

The chain I’m told is owned by a French group, I only wish they would open a branch in Pattaya. Hallelujah on November 28 2018 they opened at Royal Gardens in Beach Rd Pattaya. See for yourself on THIS LINK.

Lamb shank at the Wine Connection.

The food choices are extensive, lots of terrines a a big range of pasta.

Amazing Bangkok buses

July 14, 2016 by David Herd

Amazing Bangkok buses

Amazing Bangkok buses transporting tourists all over Thailand, many are decorated in bizarre colours often featuring Japanese cartoon & Disney characters. Eagles, serpents you name it they have got it. I have never seen anything like it anywhere in the world, take a bow Thailand for giving us so many great photo opportunities.

Bright & exciting colours

I have no idea how they produce these amazing creations, I’m guessing it’s all created on computer then automatically painted on the production line, then again how would I know? 🙂

There was a comment on Facebook that explained to process, it is a vinyl wrap, using the same machines that produce outdoor posters, then they just wrap them round the bus.

For a discounted hotel rate in Bangkok just book through THIS LINK

I see Johnny Walker at the front

I’m also guessing they didn’t get permission to use the Johnny Walker logo. 🙂

Back view

Six exhausts and speakers for sound.

This beast is one of my favourites

It was parked a few meters from where I live in Soi 1 Pattaya so I was able to have a close look.

Eight lethal exhaust pipes

Imagine if a motorbike crashed into the back of this bus, the exhaust pipes were on a 45 degree angle with sharp edges pointing upwards. Perfectly positioned to impale a human being. You gotta love Thailand.

Beach Road Pattaya

Every morning hundreds of buses converge on Beach Road Pattaya bringing thousands Chinese tourists who board the boats to go para-sailing and visit Koh Larn island.

For a discounted hotel rate in Bangkok just book through THIS LINK.

This yellow one will get noticed.

There are so many amazing styles, this one looks like a huge yellow monster. 🙂

The Eagle has landed.

And the beat goes on, it must be a prestige thing the way some of these guys push it to the limit.

You light up my life

Or so the song goes, I really want to ask a question, do you think this guy is trying just a little too hard?

36000 buses idle

Tour bus operators are in dire need of measures to cushion the impact of the coronavirus crisis, as an idle fleet of 36,000 buses countrywide has already missed out on 7 billion baht in income during the sluggish tourism period.

President of the Thai Transportation Operators Association, said that while tourism was at its peak, each bus could generate 50,000 baht a day from tour services.

The current lack of income has led operators to carry a cost burden of roughly 2 million baht from each bus leased, and they don’t have enough cash for installment payments.

Many thanks for visiting my Amazing Bangkok buses photo blog.

Sukhumvit Rd Ploenchit building boom

May 20, 2016 by David Herd

Sukumvit-Road-Ploenchit-Bangkok-shopping

Bangkok building boom

Sukhumvit Rd Ploenchit building boom

Sukhumvit Rd Ploenchit building boom is in full swing. Chock-a-block full of high rise office buildings, up-market condos, lots of embassies, luxury hotels & very expensive shopping malls. I love the area which is close to where I stay in Soi 11 Nana.

Weird & wonderful

Most of these modern buildings can be seen from the sky train which is by far the best way to move around Bangkok.

Sukhumvit Rd Ploenchit building boom

Is another huge building site which will add another sky scraper to the Ploenchit skyline.

One of my favourite buildings on Sukhumvit Road Ploenchit

Park Ventures recently achieved the highest office rental in Bangkok of B900 per M2 per month. The building is 35 stories high and has an elevated walkway leading to the station and various shopping malls including Central World which is directly opposite. The section jutting out is the infinity at the Okura Hotel.

The Okura Prestige Bangkok is a super luxurious hotel in the building, for a discounted rate USE THIS LINK.

Rated 9.1 by Agoda

As you can see it is rather special and in a great location. Using THIS LINK will get you a room for under $200.

For other hotels use this link.

Great design the Park Hyatt Sukhumvit Road Ploenchit

Park Hyatt Bangkok, opening on May 12th 2017, has its sights set on being the capital’s leading icon of luxury and hotels in Bangkok. Presenting internationally inspired architecture and interior design; exceptional accommodation. Central Embassy will be hoping they will bring potential customers as their traffic since opening has been disappointing.

For an excellent room rate t the Park Hyatt just book through THIS LINK.

These great walkways take you off the street

Linking hotels, shopping malls, restaurants and offices these modern walkways are quite fantastic. You can walk from Ploenchit to Chidlom and Central Embassy and Central world.

Busy Bangkok corner

Watch this video on YouTube

Deutsche Bank Sukhumvit Road Ploenchit

Prestige companies, condos, hotels etc really love the Ploenchit Chidlom area of Bangkok.

Now if it’s good food you want…..

Right beside Chidlom station is terrific Bangkok restaurant, the Pirate Chambre. A little hard to find but worth the effort, there is a walkway from the station. The fabulous lamb shank was only B480.

JW Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit Road Ploenchit

Breakfast at the JW Marriott bakery on Sukhumvit Road Ploenchit is always a pleasure & the coffee is excellent. Just a short walk to Ploenchit station, for an excellent room rate at the fine hotel USE THIS LINK TO BOOK.

Thanks for visiting my Sukhumvit Rd Ploenchit building boom photo blog.

Great location

When I’m in Bangkok I like to stay in Sukhumvit Soi 11, here is an excellent budget hotel, if you USE THIS LINK you will get a great rate of around B1100 per night, or $30 USD.

Weekend Bangkok May 2016

Via Vai Soi 8 Sukhumvit

Weekend Bangkok May 2016

Weekend Bangkok May 2016 included visiting new restaurants, sky bars & shopping malls. It’s nice to have a break from Pattaya which is where I live 2 hours south of Bangkok.

Dinner at Via Vai

My friend Hamish Elton and I in Soi 8 eating Italian food which was ok without making you want to rush back.

Via Vai is opposite Monsoon which is one of my favourite Bangkok restaurants.

The Game sports bar

On Sukhumvit beside Nana station this bar has lots of screens showing all the sports. A separate smoking area overlooks the footpath which spares the drinkers inside the bar. The header to this post is a favourite shot of mine that was taken at “The Game”, I call it Minnesota Fats racking them up. 🙂

Beef stew at THE GAME.

At best it was barely average, next time I’ll try something different.

Now if it’s good food you want…..

A terrific new Bangkok restaurant, the Pirate Chambre at Chidlom. Hard to find but worth the effort. The fabulous lamb shank was only B480.

Enjoying a red wine at Pirate Chambre

Put this excellent restaurant on your bucket list.

Signing the waiver

Sign before you ride, the guy didn’t last to long in the saddle, they just pump up the speed and it’s all over rover.

Asoke intersection

A very busy intersection, you can see the building where the Long Table sky bar Bangkok is located on the 25th floor of the Colomn serviced apartments in Soi 16 Asoke.

JW Marriott

A very good breakfast and the coffee is excellent. Plus I have a 20% discount card.

A guy I know gets preferential treatment

I showing the staff this photo next time I’m there and asking for the same serving of avocado. 🙂

I started with this shot and I’m going to finish with it.

Every now and then I take a photo I really like, this is one of those. It was taken at “The Game”, sports bar in Nana and I call it “Minnesota Fats racking them up.” 🙂

Jomtien Beach Pattaya south

April 9, 2016 by David Herd

Pattaya-south-Jomtien-Thailand-beach-restaurants

Fishing boats on Jomtiem beach

Jomtien Beach Pattaya south

Jomtien Beach Pattaya south in my mind used to be Pattaya’s poor cousin, well times have changed. There are many people who prefer to live in this quieter area on the Thai coast rather than busy gridlocked Pattaya beach. The beach stretches for miles & miles and the water is much cleaner than Pattaya bay.

Relax in the shade

Sabai sabai means relax in Thai, one of about 10 words I know the meaning of. I have only been living in Thailand five years so that equates to 2 words a year, hmm I guess I’m a little slow. 🙂

Building boom

The first couple of photos may have given the impression of a sleepy backwater, well nothing could be further from the truth, High rise condos and hotels are exploding on the skyline. This monster has the unfortunate name of Cetus which always reminds me of part of the female anatomy.

Jomtiensaineung Road

Chom Tian is the name you will often see on road signs, located 165 km south-east of Bangkok and a few minutes south of Pattaya.

Magic sunset at Jomtien

A great time of the day to swim or just enjoy a cocktail by the beach.

https://www.facebook.com/jomtienplazacondotel/videos/2084677088444742/?t=0

Lots of restaurants

The beach is about 6 kms long and there are many restaurants opposite where you can enjoy the sunset and the sea breeze.

Indian, Italian, French and many others.

So many restaurants and so little time.

Natan’s is my favourite

Put Naten’s on your bucket list, it is in my top 6 restaurants in Pattaya and Jomtien. The food and décor is exceptional and rather inexpensive

Drifters Beach Cafe

A little further south overlooking the beach is a nice little cafe bar where you can enjoy a cocktail or a pizza while watching the beautiful sunset.

Location

You really need a car to get to Drifters cafe.

Thailand’s ugly overhead power lines

A common sight in Thailand, the next photo highlights the highly trained workmen.

Master electrician at work

Workplace health & safety is not a high priority in Thailand, however there is a guy holding the ladder ?

Miles of sandy beach

No problem finding a place to sit at Jomtien. 🙂

Restoring the beach, July 2021

Certainly a worthwhile excercise.

Babes Blogs Love Pattaya

Babes Blogs Love Pattaya

Babes Blogs Love Pattaya Thailand, a popular Pattaya web site that asked me to write some blogs for them. Sadly I don’t get paid for doing it however I thought it would be a good way to promote my fivestarvagabond blog site. Plus they invite me to all their promotions where the food and booze flow non stop. 🙂

Virgins in Walking Street Pattaya

A new club recently opened featuring eastern European ladies. It’s rather upmarket so take plenty of money with you. There is also an interesting roof top bar and a jacuzzi where for B6,500 you can spend 30 minutes with the girl of your choice including a bottle of champagne.

Hooters bike wash

Unlike many other people I’m a Hooters fan, the Pattaya venue is terrific and there are lots of gorgeous babes. I believe these girls get paid very good money compared to similar jobs in restaurants and hotels, plus they get to keep their tips, however they really worked hard on this particular charity day. When they were not serving drinks and food they were dancing as you can see above. I’m sure by the end of the evening the poor girls would have been totally worn out.

Sexy Girls Dancing At Pool Party

All I can say is WOW! What an incredible body and trust me folks this blonde Russian babe knew how to move it. She was one of several who work at Galaxy Cabaret in Walking St. I am told the drinks start around B400 which is way above my pay grade.

No boats in Pattaya

A very windy day saw the boats were idle and tourists had to find something else to do. January 25th 2016 they disappeared for three days apparently because a storm surge was causing rough water and unsafe conditions. Full marks to the officials for giving tourist safety priority over big business.

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok is known as the cities original red light district. These days it is more popular as a night market, however many pole dancing & beer bars are still there. These days Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are more popular so called entertainment areas.

Shop to you drop at Patpong Road Bangkok

I notice many of the items here are so much cheaper if you shop at Chinatown.

Patpong Road Bangkok

It was a Tuesday night and very quiet, perhaps it was a little early for the crowds at Patpong Road Bangkok.

Nice corner bar

Most of the bars are in the next street which runs parallel to this one.

Larry finds some company

Sadly I felt I had to point out his companion was actually a LadyBoy.

Say no more

I’m guessing this is not a pet shop where you can buy a kitten, but then again what would I know?

No photos please.

I think she may be a little shy. 🙂

Happy hours and happy endings are always available in Patpong Road.

Happy hour in Patpong 1993

Travelling from Europe to Australia in 1993 naturally I had to stopover in Bangkok for some R & R.

The Inn Saladaeng

A very nice little hotel a short walk to Patpong. You will get a very good rate if you book through this link.

The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to Cloud 47 one of Bangkok’s fabulous Sky Bars.

Bangkok burger company

Right next door to the hotel is this very good burger restaurant, good food and cold beer, but for some reason they don’t serve wine.

Wine Connection is the better option

A short train ride to Patpong and to will find the Wine Connection, an excellent restaurant.

Choose your wine

A very busy restaurant with a great selection of food and wine.

Street food stalls

Fresh vegetables Bangkok style.

Bangkok breakfast

There is no doubt Thai people have taken street food to an art form.

Sala Daeng skytrain station is about 200 meters from the main Patpong area. If you are travelling from Nana or Asoke on Sukhumvit you need to change trains at Siam station.

Fabulous street food

You can eat well here for around B50.

Lucky his friend is holding him

I guess he just finished a hard days work so it’s time for a little nap.

Goodbye from Cloud 47

When I’m in Bangkok I like to stay in Sukhumvit Soi 11, here is an excellent budget hotel, if you USE THIS LINK you will get a great rate of around B1100 per night, or $30 USD.

The best Bangkok budget hotel I have ever stayed in.
