Pullman Hotel Beach Club

Pullman Hotel Beach Club

Pullman hotel Beach Club

Pullman hotel Beach Club is a perfect place for dinner while watching the sunset. There are two pools where you can take a swim otherwise just jump in the ocean.

My friend Hamish Elton

Check out the sausages

The Beach Club offers a very good ala carte menu or a buffet. There is something to please everybody.

Delicious Prawn croquettes

Beach Club Pullman Hotel From memory they cost around B250 or $11 AUD.

The name of this dish alludes me. 🙂

Pullman hotel Beach Club I’ll try to get the name next time I visit.

Oysters from France

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya are on special Tuesdays from 3 pm until sold out. These fabulous fresh French oysters are only B35 each including ++, so I indulged buy ordering 18 at a cost of B630, or $28 AUD. To see the history of my affair with oysters from around the world please follow THIS LINK. Did you know that American and Italian researchers found they are rich in amino acids, which  trigger increased levels of sex hormones.

WOW!

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

Lets not forget the fabulous sunset. For more beautiful Pattaya sunsets just follow THIS LINK.

Pork & rice

Beach Club Pullman Hotel Hamish thought the pork was a little tough in this dish.

The beach

Beach Club Pullman Hotel Perhaps you may prefer to swim in the sea water rather than the pool, or of course you can do both.

High rise condominiums

Beach Club Pullman Hotel

These tall condo buildings tower above the Beach Club. The buildings facing west would certainly get very hot from the afternoon sun.

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

November 18, 2020 by David Herd

Sunset over Koh Larn

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya are on special Tuesdays from 3 pm until sold out. These fabulous fresh French oysters are only B35 each including ++, so I indulged buy ordering 18 at a cost of B630, or $28 AUD.

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

For many years I have been saying that in my opinion Pattaya has the best sunsets I have seen anywhere in the world. If you don’t believe me just follow THIS LINK.

Looking south along the beach.

Beach Club Pattaya

Just 30 minutes before sunset, time for some fresh oysters from France. 🙂

Surrounded by high-rise condos

Beach Club Pattaya

Spectacular views of Koh Larn, but they would get very hot inside every afternoon with the hot sun belting in from the East.

Tuesday oysters special

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya From 3 pm every Tuesday they serve fabulous oysters from France for B30 a piece. Of course being an upmarket hotel the Pullman adds ++ to the price, 7% VAT & 10% service which brings the price to B35 or $1’60 AUD. About $19 per dozen making it the best value I have found in Thailand.

A complementary wine

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya

Many thanks to the friendly waiter, I will be a regular Tuesday customer.

Spectacular at night

Escape from the sun

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya This is the undercover outdoor area, if you want aircon just go inside. 🙂

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya, Fine de Claire No 4

Oestpagina_Finedeclaire

This oyster can be grown in various parts of France, but must have spent at least 28 days in the famous ‘Claires’ to be called a Fine de Claire. The Fine de Claire oyster has a higher liquid content and a delicate salty taste.

Oysters Beach Club Pattaya, I’ll be a regular Tuesday customer.

Beach Club Pattaya Just looking at this photo makes my mouth water.

I have eaten oysters all over the world

Shuck more oysters please

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

August 31, 2018 by David Herd

Opened September 1st 2018

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya has just opened at Markland which just happens to be where I live on the 20th floor. As you can see they have a perfect spot overlooking Pattaya Beach.

This business only lasted a year or a little less before closing permanently. It is now January 2022 & a new restaurant is about to open on this site. 

Perfect for solo diners like myself. 🙂

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

The first store opened on 2 November 1989 at Eagle Street Pier in Brisbane then on 1 July 1994 The Coffee Club became a franchise.

More outdoor seating

Coffee Club Beach Road PattayaThe smokers are well catered for which is a good reason to sit inside & enjoy the air conditioning.

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya A staff meeting the day before opening.

Here I am with the friendly staff at The Coffee Club.

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya I am going to enjoy a daily visit here. 🙂

My welcome coffee

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

My first coffee here & the opening is not until tomorrow. 🙂

Very nice decor & friendly staff

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya Add excellent coffee & food & it adds up to a fabulous venue at Markland condo.

Where will we meet you?

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya The Coffee Club of course. 🙂

Let’s take a look at the food.

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya Their breakfast specialty is Eggs Benedict.

So what is the verdict you may well ask?

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya Here is my opinion after only one breakfast, I’ll revise it when I try some different dishes. Location 10/10, staff excellent 10/10, decor is very impressive, Eggs Benedict had a slight vinegar taste 7/10, coffee 8/10 & finally in my opinion far to expensive for Thailand.

Baht 476 or $20 AUD or $14.50 USD.

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya

Once again this is only my opinion, similar coffee at Starbucks is B31 cheaper at B115 with every 12th one free when using their debit card.  Their price of B146 or $6.20 AUD is way over the top. Even a medium flat white is B124 or $5.27 AUD as you can see above.

Let’s compare it to Bon Cafe

Best Pattaya breakfast coffee service

  Bon Cafe is a very good breakfast spot. Just under $8 AUD or 185 Baht you get this excellent meal including coffee & orange juice, 668/17-21 Pattaya-Naklua. As you can see there is a huge price difference, $8 or $20 AUD, the choice is yours.

Phad Thai & prawn

Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya This dish was ok, & priced at B200 or $10 AUD. 

When it comes to coffee I prefer Starbucks or the Holiday Inn.

Thanks for visiting my Coffee Club Beach Road Pattaya photo blog.

Beach Club Pattaya Bay is a fantastic location to enjoy a cocktail or 3 and watch the sunset. You can swim in the ocean or the 2 beautiful swimming pools.

From memory you pay 1000 Baht or $30 usd to hire for the day, however if you spend the same amount on food and drink the tent is free.

Another view of the tents

Tents, what tents? I don’t see any tents. 🙂

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

June 5, 2015 by David Herd

Singapore Malaysia border.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

 Legends Golf Club Malaysia is a 90 minute drive from Singapore. In 2007 my friends and I (all legends) decided it was time to tame this course.

Is that Casey Stoner ?

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

This colour coordinated guy shot past us like a guided missile. 🙂

This is more our speed

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

As you can imagine it is far too hot to walk the course.

Unless we meet one of these guys

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Then we go faster, much faster. 🙂

Here we are Legends in our own lunch time

The course was magnificent.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, The Legends is one of the toughest tests of golf in South-East Asia. Legends can be best described as dramatic and can always be found in excellent condition.

The original concept of this resort included three championship courses: one designed by Jack Nicklaus, one by Arnold Palmer, and one by Gary Player. Only the Nicklaus course and nine holes of the Palmer course have been finished, though. The Gary Player course remains in the planning phase.

The par-72, 18-hole Jack Nicklaus course opened to golfers in 1997. This 6,710-metre (7,338-yard) course features views of the neighboring palm oil plantation. Don’t be surprised if monkeys stop to check out your game on the back nine too.

Legends Golf Club Malaysia Lovely par 3

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

 Legends Golf Club Malaysia is a beautiful course, if you are a golfer put it on your bucket list.

We almost had the course to ourselves

Legends Golf Club Malaysia

A guy called John Hallisey said “My worst day on the golf course still beats my best day in the office.”

Where else would you rather be?

We almost had the course to ourselves.

My lovely caddy

With two hole to go the storm came in and blew us off the course as so often happens in South East Asia.

Rated 16th best course in Malaysia, it,s hard to believe there are 15 better. 🙂

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

January 30, 2014 by David Herd

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf Course

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf Course is rather special, particularly if you are a golfer. The standard of the hotel is fantastic & the golf package can’t be beat. For 3000 Baht or $90 usd, which sadly is now $104 aud, you get 2 18 hole rounds of golf on the magnificent Kabinburi Sport Club which proudly boasts of being the longest course in Thailand. Add to that one nights accommodation & breakfast included, makes this the best value golf package in Thailand.

If that was not enough the three of us were all upgraded to a wonderful one bedroom suite which is the best hotel accommodation I have ever seen anywhere in the country.

One bedroom suite

Super value at Kantary Hotel Kabinburi.

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

The kantary hotel has excellent food and a nice selection of wine. Imported Australian beef was cooked to perfection & washed down with the house wine from South Africa. There is also a Japanese & Chinese menu as well, however the Chinese may only be on offer for their lunar new year.

Without a doubt AGODA is the best online Hotel booking site.

Lets talk about the golf course.

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

The longest course is quite magnificent, very tough for hackers like myself but an excellent workout for the more skilled golfers. 6652 yards long from the white tees up to a monster 8075 from the championship tees. The condition of the course is quite remarkable, by far the best fairways I have ever played on, and the greens are groomed beautifully. If you enjoy your golf the Kabinburi Sport Club is a must to play, make sure you book the hotel package for the best value.

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

Beautiful bougainvillea decorates many of the greens and there is plenty of water waiting to gobble up your brand new golf balls.

The dreaded bunkers

Kantary Hotel Kabinburi Golf

 I spent so much time in the sand traps on the back nine my friends were calling me Lawrence of Arabia.

Brad lines up a long putt.

The greens were perfect, very fast but fairly easy to read, of course the caddies make putting an easier task as they know them backwards. This photo gives you an idea of just how perfect the greens are.

John Martin aka Pothole like to dress like a Jaffa, he also often wears the orange outfit when he visits Pattaya bars.

The excellent driving range & pro shop is beside the main road, they have a bus to take you and your clubs to the course.

We all agree the whole experience was quite special, Kantary Hotel Kabinburi a great hotel & staff & a terrific golf course. To borrow a General MacArthur quote, “we will return.”
