Pattaya | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Le Bordeaux Pattaya Restaurant

August 19, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya French Restaurant

Le Bordeaux Pattaya Restaurant is located in what you could call the Pattaya French Quarter behind Tukcom, due to quite a few French restaurants in the area.

Nice warm atmosphere

I was the only person there at 6.30, 2 more customers arrived an hour later, however like most businesses in Pattaya they are suffering due to Covid-19.

Very friendly staff

Meet Lay. he provides great service at Le Bordeaux Pattaya Restaurant.

Wine & a liquor

Two drinks are better than one. 🙂

This is what I came for

Marennes Oleron number 2, these oysters are born in Marennes Oleron, then when they are 1 year old they are taken to Brittany where young oysters will grow more easily thanks to a more favourable environment. At the age of 2 they come back to Marennes Oleron, a few kilometres out in the sea, so that the shell can harden and take a cupped shape. There they remain for 1 year, until the time comes for refining in Claires (saet marshes) for up to 6 months.

Lamb stew

Lots of flavour here however I wish I had ordered the slow cooked lamb shank. 🙂

Warm atmosphere

A very classy fit-out, put this delightful restaurant on your bucket list.

Gay Paree

Très bonne ambiance

Here is a nice version of the song Gay Paree.

The bar at Le Bordeaux Pattaya Restaurant

As you can clearly see the decor is excellent.

Crème brûlée to finish

One of my favourite deserts, for more great deserts just follow THIS LINK.

Thanks for visiting my Le Bordeaux Pattaya Restaurant photo blog. Friday or Saturday night if the best time to visit for fresh oysters.

Art of desert Pattaya

August 2, 2020 by David Herd

Art of desert Pattaya

Art of desert Pattaya is a far more interesting subject to me than the Art of War for instance, written by Sun Tzu in the 5th century. For some excellent images of the Art of Desert here is a LINK on Pinterest.

The photo above was taken at the Pullman Hotel at Wongamat Beach.

Belgian waffles at Patrick’s Steakhouse

Many people in these troubled times of Covid-19 will feel they are living in their own winter of discontent, well to brighten up their day just check out some of my favourite deserts in beautiful downtown Pattaya. 🙂

Great pancake at Leckerle

Researchers have found pancakes in the stomach of Otzi the Iceman, human remains dating back 5,300 years. In ancient Greece and Rome, pancakes were made from wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk.

Magnificent Crème brûlée

France, England, and Spain all claim to be the country where crème brûlée had its origin. The first printed recipe for a dessert called crème brûlée is from the 1691.

A special from The Bistro at Soi Yamato 13/1.

Tripadvisor rate this small restaurant very highly at #6 of 1,085 Restaurants in Pattaya

Mixture from the Mantra

Sadly the Mantra closed it’s doors in 2018, their Sunday buffet was the best I have ever seen anywhere in the world. Here is over a decade of dining on THIS LINK.

Mango & sticky rice

The iconic Thai desert needs no introduction, it’s simply wonderful.

Hollys Coffee

Without a doubt this is the best pancake I have ever eaten. 🙂 This company was established in 1998 and opened Korea’s first espresso shop that year. Its shops offer espresso, coffee, tea, specialty coffee- and tea-based hot and cold drinks, a variety of pastries and other snacks and coffee supplies.

Banana pancake

Absolutely delicious & only B40, or $2 AUD.

The finished product

Surely must be the best value in Pattaya, or perhaps even the northern hemisphere.

Thanks for visiting my Art of desert Pattaya photo blog, I will certainly add more delights as I discover them.

Food review Pattaya 2020

July 23, 2020 by David Herd

Food review Pattaya 2020

Food review Pattaya 2020 is simply a record of many of the great dishes I have enjoyed in the Autumn of my years. 🙂 According to TripAdvisor there are about 1300 restaurants to choose from. However 90% of the time I tend to visit places I know & like. The 1st & 2nd photos are from the food court at Central Festival shopping mall.

Oysters at Central Festival

Oysters were on special, B360 or $11 USD for 9 & they tossed in one for free. 🙂

Good value here at a reasonable price.

Salmon sashimi

At Genki in Soi 4, one of my favourite Japanese restaurants.

Another dish at Genki

Toast Skagen at Longhorn Steakhouse

Consisting of two pieces of toasted bread, mayonnaise, and many prawns. Sometimes crab or crabsticks are substituted for prawns.

Excellent breakfast

Bake & Brew is a little out of the way for me, however the food is very good indeed.

Roast pork & noodles

Another dish from the food park at Central Marina shopping mall.

Teriyaki chicken at Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant

This tasty dish comes with vegetables, steamed rice & miso soup. Located at

Hachiban-ramen

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

July 19, 2020 by David Herd

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya at the Royal Cruise hotel, which is named because it looks like an actual cruise ship. Malibrew is a rather spectacular bar & an interesting concept, with some good points & some bad which we will discuss below.

Main entrance is on Soi 2.

About 60 meters from Beach Road.

Happy hour is between 5 & 6 pm.

You can get 2 for one Singha for only B120 or $3.80 USD. The bar has only been open for a few days & strangely enough has no craft beer on sale yet.

Price list

Red wine is B290 per glass which is way too expensive in my opinion.

Open plan kitchen

The food is very reasonably priced.

Cold appetizers

good selection here.

Main course

Menu is a computer tablet, my preference is a normal style menu, but I guess I’m a bit of a dinosaur. 🙂

More main course choices

I had the spaghetti & meatballs.

Spaghetti & meatballs

Enjoyable without being exceptional.

Beer taps are not connected yet.

I can’t help wondering why they opened before the craft beer was available.

Another dining area

Lots of places to sit at Malibrew Craft Beer A-One Pattaya.

Here is the entertainment area

I have already admitted to being a dinosaur so please view my comments accordingly. I was 2/3 through my meal at 7.30 & the music started. A guitarist & a drummer decided to pound out around 100 decibels. It was so loud I didn’t finish my meal, I just paid my bill & left.

Many thanks for visiting my Craft Beer A-One Pattaya photo blog.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

July 8, 2020 by David Herd

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya is located in the arcade off 2nd road opposite Mike shopping mall. In the same arcade you will find Patrick’s & the Beefeater.

A table or a booth sir?

Plenty of space between the tables. 🙂

Walking Street

This is dated 1960, however it should show 1980, the reason is I actually took the photo on my first visit to Pattaya.

The original photo

That’s my friend Rob Symonds walking towards the camera. We have visited Manila & Hong Kong on the way to Thailand. Follow THIS LINK for more 1980 photos.

July promotion was exceptional value.

B595 or $19 USD.

Lobster Bisque to begin

It tasted as good as it looks. 🙂

Australian Ribeye

At Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya this Australian Ribeye was extremely tender & tasty.

Guess who was celebrating his birthday?

Guilty as charged. 🙂

Creme Brulee is a favourite of mine.

It was a toss up between this & the Tiramisu. Creme Brulee is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is normally served slightly chilled; the heat from the caramelizing process tends to warm the top of the custard, while leaving the center cool. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla in French cuisine or with cinnamon and lemon in Catalan cuisine, but can have other flavorings. It is sometimes garnished with fruit.

Toast Skagen, one of my all time favorites.

The Beefeater also offers Skagen. Toast Skagen is an appetizer and Swedish food. Consisting of two slices of toast, mayonnaise and many prawns. Sometimes crabs are used instead of shrimp. The name of the dish originated from Skagen in Denmark, but the dish is not very well-known and most popular in Sweden, which was created by the restaurant and chef from Stockholm Tore Wretman. He introduced the Toast Skagen … Wikipedia

Australian Shiraz

Tonight I chose to take my own wine as it was a special occasion, the corkage fee is B300, or $9 USD.

Tiramisu

Very rich, I prefer the Creme Brulee.

Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya

Thanks for visiting my Longhorn Steakhouse Pattaya photo blog, I highly recommend this excellent restaurant. Don’t forget In the same arcade you will find two other very good restaurants Patrick’s & the Beefeater.

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

March 21, 2020 by David Herd

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya is ranked by TripAdvisor number 40 of 1340 restaurants in Pattaya. Every Sunday they have a Mexican “all you can eat” buffet. Another excellent feature here is they offer 3 sizes of the steak of your choice.

My friend Larry Krausz

Larry loved his food & really enjoyed visiting the Beefeater, sadly he suffered a major stroke & passed away in 2017.

Toast Skagen

Here is the dish I always have at the Beefeater, the owner/chey is Scandinavian so I guess that’s why Skagen is on the menu.

Toast Skagen – Shrimps in dill mayonnaise served on toast

Ham & salad baguette

The Beefeater Steak House Pattaya offers so much more than just steak, the baguette is excellent as is the Lobster bisque.

Talking about the Lobster Bisque

Very rich as you can imagine.

Prices seem to be creeping up

It’s now 2021 in the middle of the Covid crisis & most venues seem to be lowering prices or offering specials, however not here I’m afraid.

For anyone with a sweet tooth. 🙂

A classic banana split to finish off an excellent meal.

Apple Pie

Homemade apple crumble pie with custard and vanilla ice cream, absolutely delicious.

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

A well stocked bar for you to choose from.

Beefeater Steak House Pattaya

Located in an arcade on the corner of 2nd Road & Soi Diana. Opposite another well known Pattaya Steak house, Patricks Belgium Restaurant.

Pattaya storm water solution

March 11, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya storm water solution

Pattaya storm water solution involves digging up part of Beach road and laying a 2 meter pipe underground to stop the storm water flooding the road & footpath.

Huge drain pipe

Lets hope this strategy works, the current system has never been able to handle the huge volume of water from storms in the wet season. It is not just the water that falls on Beach Rd, most of the Soi’s in North Pattaya run down hill from 2nd Road bringing a huge volume of water that runs over the footpath and destroys huge sections of the beach.

Here’s what happens to the beach

This has been the case for many years. For more storm damage just follow THIS LINK.

Here is a video of the flooding

Beach Rd Pattaya flooded, more water than Songkran.

Watch this video on YouTube

That’s a lot of water right there.

They are sparing no expense on equipment

It’s a very noisy disruptive project, let’s hope it works.

No problem on the footpath

All the disruption is on the actual road, traffic of course move very slowing with on one or two lanes to use.

Near Soi one

I must give them credit, they are making good progress.

Pattaya storm water solution

Trucks and excavators all along Beach Road.

This footpath is going to need some work. 🙂

It’s now March 2023 & I think we are in for another 6 months of pain before this project is completed. Having said that I really believe the workers are doing a great job & as fast as possible.

Opposite Markland Soi 1 March 15

Progress is being made.

Pristine equipment

This fabulous gizmo is probably only 30 years old. 🙂

Finally the steamroller arrives

This one will leave you rather flat. Steam, what steam? I don’t see any steam. 🙂

May 21 2020

I’m guessing it will take another 6 months to level up & re-fit all the pavers.

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

March 10, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya-Beach-Coronavirus,Chinese-tourists

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya which has resulted in a 44% drop in tourists in February 2020. Many Thai people find themselves without work so they have left Pattaya to return to their villages in the country. As you can see the beach is deserted at 8am on March 3rd 2020, only a few short months ago it was teeming with Chinese tourists.

This is how it was…

Seven days a week thousands of Chinese tourists would storm the beach to clamber aboard the boats to para-sail & visit Koh Larn island.

Typical over powered tourist boat

Only about 25% of the boats remain on Pattaya Beach, the rest are in moth balls. 🙂

Patrick is feeling lonely

Well known restaurateur Patrick Van Den Berghe finds himself alone on the beach, time for him to go back to his steakhouse & order some French oysters & lamb shanks. 🙂

Pattaya Beach never looked so good

Of course my opinion is purely a selfish one, however there really is nothing to like about thousands of Chinese tourists inhabiting the beach. 🙂

“There is high chance that the country will be in a technical recession — contraction of the economy for two consecutive quarters,” said Anusorn Tamajai, director of Economic and Business Research Centre at Rangsit University.

The masked man cometh

I actually tried a mask, I hated it & lasted 1 hour, in fact it was because of pollution not the virus.

Pattaya pollution

This was January 10 2020.

This was a typical Pattaya morning

Hundreds of buses would clog up beach road from 8 am seven days a week.

Waiting to pick up the tourists around mid day.

It’s fantastic now without these monsters taking over Beach Road.

Nothing like a peaceful Pattaya morning

Well folks enjoy it while you can because at some stage in the future the dreaded Chinese tourists will return. 🙂

A beautiful Pattaya morning

March 8 2020 & a perfect day. See for yourself on my webcam, just follow THIS LINK.

Coronavirus impacts Pattaya

This man & his dog are loving the peaceful atmosphere.

Desperate times in Pattaya

People queue in jomtien for a free meal outside Yupins. Twice a day. The queue goes past The Venue, past The Spring Onion, down the road, round the corner and today reached Dicks Cafe. 75% of working age people have lost their jobs in Pattaya. No savings, & no chance of getting any money over the next few months. Can’t pay their rent & 3000 are homeless. They can’t sleep on the beach without getting arrested. Can’t sleep in the parks (closed) and can’t sleep on the street (strict curfew after 10pm). Desperate, desperate times here for these poor people.

Here are the numbers as of March 10 2020

Thailand doesn’t feature in the high risk area.

Australia	6,400	61	Australia/Oceania

Lets put it in perspective

One hell of a difference don’t you agree?

Thailand on march 11 2020 cancelled visa on arrival for 18 countries.

On Wednesday March 11th Donald Trump announced the United States would ban all travel from Europe for 30 days.

Thai Airways suspending all Italy flights to and from Italy following the Italian government’s decision to lock down the country to contain the coronavirus outbreak.

Thailand update September 11 2020

The figures are excellent, they may resume flights etc before Xmas.

Businesses close in Pattaya

Burger King on 2nd Rd has closed it’s doors as well as 2 other branches, beach Rd & Central Fesival.

Coffee shop at the Bay

Another one bites the dust.

Closures in North Pattaya

Please follow THIS LINK.

It will take years to recover.

Covid booster jab

It only took 35 minutes to get the booster at Royal Garden Plaza in Pattaya on January 6 2022.

Holiday Inn Seafood Buffet

December 14, 2019 by David Herd

Holiday Inn Seafood Buffet

Holiday Inn Seafood Buffet at the East Coast kitchen in the executive tower on the 6th floor. Available from Thursday night until Sunday night. Priced at B1100, very reasonable for what they offer.

Lots of seafood choices

Apart from seafood there are are a variety of Thai dishes, salads & deserts to choose from.

Oysters from Korea

I always enjoy a buffet that offers fresh oysters.

Holiday Inn Seafood Buffet

Korean oysters don’t particularly impress me, I prefer French or Australian, check out THIS LINK for lots of variety.

Barbecue prawns were delicious

Oysters to start followed by these prawns.

Delicious crab

Very fiddly to eat of course, you just need to persevere. 🙂

The busy chefs

They do a great job on the barbecue making sure everybody has plenty to eat.

There is also an indoor kitchen

When you count all the waiters & waitresses there is a huge number of polite staff looking after you.

Thai food is also available

A very good variety of food to please all pallets.

Desert to finish off an excellent dinner.

There is also lots of ice cream flavors on offer.

A choice of 2 place in the hotel for a pre dinner cocktail.

Before dinner we went to the sky bar for happy hour, two for one drinks between 5 & 7 pm are terrific value.

Holiday Inn Seafood Buffet

This is also a wonderful venue for cocktails at sunset. I’m so lucky to live only 200 meters from this fabulous hotel, I guess you could say it’s my local drinking hole. 🙂
