Thailand | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Pattaya, friends & food 2022

Pattaya, friends & food 2022 & life is very good. I’m told Australia is getting more expensive every few months as opposed to Thailand which remains very affordable.

This group of reprobates dining at L’Auberge from the right are Bill Edge from Airlie Beach, yours truly, Joergen Ulitza from Melbourne & finally John Martin, aka Pothole Bin Laden.

Beautiful fresh vegetables

While we are on the subject of food check out these delicious vegetables from Playa Bistro on the ground floor of my condo at Markland.

Rain damage September 6

Not unexpected as September is Pattaya’s wettest month.

Impossible to stop this

The rain pours down from 2nd road, jumps the Beach Rd footpath & carries away the sand. I have lived on Beach Rd for 11 years & it’s always been the same.

Check out the Pattaya webcam, just click here.

Here’s a smile to brighten your day

One of the lovely waitresses from Playa Bistro on the ground floor of Markland.

Bye bye Sabai Resort

Lots of memories from this hoel, my friends & I stayed there for over 12 years from 1998.

Peter Hobbs from Sydney

Peter has lived at 72 Wrights rd Drummoyne since 1983, I lived there for 6 years from 1979.

La Boulange Pattaya French Bakery

Situated on 3rd Rd near Big C extra, they make the best ham & salad rolls in Pattaya.

Four Australian lamb cutlets

From Big C extra at a cost of $40 AUD.

At L’Auberge with Brad Robbins from Townsville

Waiting for our French oysters. 🙂

Gillardeau nunber 3

Fabulous oysters from France, many thanks to the owner who gave us a 50% discount down to B900 or $36 AUD.

Heavy construction on 2nd rd.

This used to be a bowling alley, it’s na huge site which may end up as condos.

Drinks at Playa

A very nice Bistro & bar on the ground floor of my condo Markland, on the corner of Beach Rd & Soi 1.

Dinner at Playa

Prawn & asparagas.

Derek Pugh, a very old friend.

Derek & I worked together in the late 60s at MacDougals LTD, an office equipment company in Clarence St Sydney.

Derek, Ian Rich Paul Slaughter

I’m guessing this was around 2002.

Sadly we lost Richard yesterday, RIP.

Richard Blair is the big fellow in the middle, beside him is Ken Shelly. Here is a post from 2004 showing many more shots of Richard.

Living in Pattaya 2022

Living in Pattaya 2024, this is my 13th year in this layback seaside city on the gulf of Thailand. Recently things have been much quieter than usual due to the world’s overreaction to the so called Covid-19 crisis.

The excellent photo above is owned by Robert Cameron, I hope he does not mind me using it.

The Space building

Located on Naklua Rd adjacent to the Dolphin roundabout.

View from Space.

Looking South.

Looking at Terminal 21

T21 is featured in the top left hand corner.

Chicken & cashews

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

March 2, 2022 by David Herd

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel

Gather Ground Payaa Hotel situated in Soi 2 North Pattaya is ony 5 minutes walk from my condo. It offers very good food & excellent coffee.

Entrance from Soi 2

Located halfway between Beach Rd & 2nd Rd.

Coffee was excellent

I visit Starbucks once or twice every day, but I must admit this coffee was far better. It’s a shame they don’t give the choice of a large mug as well as a cup.

Interesting wall prints

In fact they have included a lot of interesting prints & furniture.

Interesting coffee tables. 🙂

It’s nice to see some unusual objects. 🙂

Chandeliers

Lot’s of different areas to sit in peace & quiet. 🙂

Outdoor seating

Must be catering for the smokers, why else would you sit out in the heat?

Lunch was excellent

Hong Kong noodles were as good as I have had anywhere. In fact the food impressed me so much I dined 2 days in a row. 🙂

Breakfast is B450 or $19 AUD, I’ll stick with the Queen Victoria in Soi 6, breakfast is B99. 🙂

Feels like a library

A lot of thought has gone into the decor as you can clearly see.

Lunch two days in a row

Chicken teriyaki was excellent, as was the coffee afterwards. The service is also very good, the waiter continually tops up my glass of water. 🙂

Coffee grinder

Every home should have one, don’t you agree? 🙂 You can see my reflection lurking in the background.

Location

Easy to find & close to the Baht bus route. Luckily it’s only five minutes walk from my condo in Markland on Beach Road. 🙂

Many thanks for visiting my Gather Ground Payaa Hotel photo blog, make sure you visit as the food & coffee is exceptional.

Food review Pattaya 2022

Food review Pattaya 2022 featuring my favourite restaurants in this city on the gulf of Thailand. The dish above was only $3 AUD at one of the local food courts.

This photo blog covers the first 6 months of 2022.

It’s all about oysters

Flown in fresh from France every week. These are Fine de Clare No 2. These oysters are finished for several weeks in shallow clay ponds where they acquire a superior quality shell to oysters grown in the open sea.

Belon oysters

The true Belon Oyster is culitivated in the Belon River, France and has the AOC protected name. Technically, only oysters from this region in France can be called Belon Oysters.

Two varieties

At L’Aberge, 6 Fin De Claire & 6 Belon. Belon Oysters have a world famous name and reputation. They are the European Flat species (Ostrea edulis).

Excellent fried rice

At Playa, the new restaurant on the ground floor of Markland, my condo building on Beach Road.

Waffles at Playa

I can’t resist a good desert. 🙂

Satay chicken at the Bistro

Without a doubt this is the best satay chicken I have ever tasted.

BJs sports bar in Soi 3.

Sukiyaki soup is excellent. 🙂

Lobster soup at the longhorn

As good as it gets.

MK Restaurants

Very good food at a low price, I am a regular customer at their Central Marina branch.

Fusillo Italian Restaurant

This is a very good restaurant that I often visited when it was on Naklua Road, sadly they have moved quite a distance down Soi 18 so it really isn’t convinient anymore.

iO Italian Osteria Terminal 21

A delicious ham & mushroom bruschetta.

Clouds sunsets restaurants rain

December 27, 2021 by David Herd

Clouds sunsets restaurants rain

Clouds sunsets restaurants rain are probably my four favourite things while living in Thailand & enjoying life as much as I can. I live in the perfect spot on Beach Road Pattaya where I can enjoy the magnificent view every day.

Clouds rolling in across the bay

In fact the wet season is my favourite time of the year.

And down it comes

Sometimes all you can see is a wall of rain moving across the bay.

Houston, we have a problem.

Pattaya bay rarely gets this rough.

Clouds sunsets restaurants rain & a great view of the city

Pattaya is home to aroung 100,000 residents.

Xmas eve at Peaky Blinders

A long lunch to celebrate Xmas. See more of Peaky HERE.

Food at Peaky Blinders

Part of the interesting Tapas food on Xmas Eve.

Fine de clare No 2

Fresh oysters from France at the Pullman Hotel Beach Club. On special every Tuesday evening. I have eaten oysters all over the world, please check out THIS LINK.

After the oysters

Satay chicken or pork, another favourite of mine.

The boys are growing very quickly

Tiger & Tyrone, sons of Pothole, aka John Martin.

Pedicure & foot massage

During the Covid crisis in Soi Buakhow many of the salons are offering 1/2 price specials of B100, or $4 AUD.

Fresh crab from Naklua fish market

Five minutes to cook & absolutely delicious. Check out the market HERE.

Fresh from the market

Lots of delicious crab here for B450, or $18 AUD.

Magnificent sunset

I think Pattaya has sunsets as spectacular as anywhere else in the world. This was taken from my balcony, how lucky am I?

An iconic Thai delicacy

Mango & sticky rice for B80, or $3 AUD.

Holiday Inn special

Served with wasabi sauce, very tasty indeed. 🙂 For more at the Holiday Inn please go to THIS LINK.

Waiting for my Covid jab with Ron Sievers & Daryl Evans.

Even though Covid has thrown the world into turmoil I have not been overly effected, the worst problem for me has been the lack of travel.

Waiting for food handouts

Many Thai people have been suffering the side effects of the Covid virus, here they are waiting for help near Bali Hai in Pattaya.

Clouds sunsets restaurants rain

Pattaya Beach after a storm.

Too many clouds are never enough. 🙂

Absolutely beautiful from my balcony. For my collection of fabulous clouds just CLICK HERE.

Lobster soup

If you like the look of this go straight to the Longhorn Steakhouse.

Talking about soup

The Hungry Hippo has to be the best value in Pattaya.

That’s all folks my last post for 2021.

Sky Gallery Pratumnak Hill

November 22, 2021 by David Herd

Sky Gallery Pratumnak Hill

Sky Gallery Pratumnak Hill Pattaya is a terrific venue for food & an ocean view in a very lay back enviroment. TripAdvisor rating is #91 of 1,099 Restaurants in Pattaya.

Ocean view

Looking west to Koh Larn.

Relax & enjoy the view

This is one of the best places in Pattaya to enjoy food with a view.

Excellent bar

Relax and choose your poison. There are many different places here to eat & drink with your friends.

Sky Gallery Pratumnak Hill with koh Larn in the distance

A wonderful sopt to enjoy Pattaya’s magnificent sunsets.

Scallops & garlic

Very tasty indeed although I left most of the garlic cloves. 🙂

My friend John Martin

More commonly known as Pothole Bin Ladin the Mouse of Markland.

Fried rice with crab meat

We both agree this was one of the best examples of this popular dish we have ever tasted, it was absolutely perfect.

Nice air conditioned section

Most people tend to eat outside & enjoy the view, my preference is always the aircon. 🙂

Mango juice

Served in a small ice bucket, it’s a well known fact that I’m a sucker for mango.

Pothole ordered fish

In my opinion it didn’t look to attractive but apparantly it tasted fine. 🙂

Another section

As you can see there are quite a few choices of where you can sit in this rather large establishment.

Semi outdoor setting

It’s been abut two years since I visited this excellent restaurant, I certainly won’t leave it that long to visit again.

Interesting Food Chiang Mai Thailand

September 4, 2021 by David Herd

Here are some excellent restaurants

Interesting Food Chiang Mai Thailand

Interesting Food Chiang Mai Thailand, even though we were only here 4 days we found some very good restaurants. I hope his photo blog takes away the guesswork for you. 🙂

Aiku

Aiku was right beside our hotel above Starbucks, good Japanese food at a reasonable price. Our hotel the Dusit Princess was a terrific hotel in the very best location in Chiang Mai, book through THIS LINK for a discounted room rate.

Out of 108 Japanese restaurants in Chiang Mai TripAdvisor rate Aiku number 5.

Whole Earth restaurant

Nestled in a beautiful garden setting this turned out to be a nice surprise, food & service were excellent.

Mushroom soup was delicious

Very filling & a great start to our meal.

A large menu & you can sit inside or out.

The staff were very obliging, the chicken above was very good indeed. Rated 51 out of 1,744 restaurants by TripAdvisor.

The long & the short

My friend Patrick is around 200 cms tall, we just had to get a photo with this tiny waitress at Whole Earth restaurant. 🙂

Rabieng Na Maerim

This delightful restaurant is halfway between the city & Wat Ban Den which is the most spectacular Thai Buddhist Temple I have ever seen .

Fresh spring roles to die for. 🙂

My only criticism was the serving was so big. 🙂

Chicken sate & a Thai Omelette.

Both excellent.

Beautiful country view from the restaurant.

Here comes the storm. 🙂

Rock Me Burgers & Bar

Watch the passing parade while enjoying the burgers , hot dogs & beer. Rated 38 out of 1,744 by TripAdvisor.

I settled for a hotdog

The best I have had in years. 🙂

Fabulous green pea soup

TripAdvisor rate David’s Kitchen the number one Chiang Mai restaurant. I’m not going to argue as the food was very good and the staff excellent.

Lamb shank

Two of us ordered the lamb shank & were surprised when the bill showed a B200 price difference. It turned out there were 2 versions o the menu, my advice to David the very attentive owner is to ensure staff point this out rather have have an argument at the end of an excellent meal.

Talking about he owner

He makes an effort to interact with his customers & explained that his wife come in of a morning to make he deserts. Here are two fabulous old photos of them in their younger days. David looks like is stepped out of the role as the artful dodger in Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. 🙂

Interesting Food Chiang Mai Thailand

The staff singing happy birthday to some happy customers.

A terrific hotel in the very best location in Chiang Mai, book through THIS LINK for a discounted room rate.

Living with Covid-19

June 25, 2021 by David Herd

Living with Covid-19

Living with Covid-19 in the first six months of 2021 makes me feel like I am just treading water. It many ways life is good, it’s very peaceful in Pattaya without tourists. The downside is not being able to travel & having friends & family who can’t visit me in Thailand.

In fact for the last year or so it feels like I have just been treading water.

A surprise addition to Pattaya

This monster is parked adjacent to Soi 6, plans are to turn it into a tourist food destination. Progress has stopped due to Covid.

Good value in Soi Buakhao

Cheap Charlies is a very popular restaurant, breakfast starts at B89, or $4.84 AUD.

A super breakfast

Robin Hood Tavern is the only place I know that offers avocado which is a perfect breakfast for me. 🙂

A-One hotel sidewalk food.

Very good dumplings for B50, or just over $2 AUD.

Fiber optic internet

Check out the fabulous speed, my old signal was 32 down & 11 up.

A-One hotel

A big renovation has been in progress for the last six months, however I think the original looked much better.

A-One hotel from my balcony

This mob just like to spend a ton of money unnecessarily. 🙂

New hotel between Soi 2 & Soi 3

There is no hurry to finish this project as Thailand’s hotel industry has been devastated by Covid-19. In May & June the average occupancy rate is only 6%.

Farewell Pothole aka John Martin

This is the evening before Pothole Bin Laden travelled to Australia in early June for a 2 year stay to qualify for the Australian aged pension.

Pothole arrives on the Gold Coast

Here he is with his sister & niece, he is obviously feeling the cold in a mild Gold Coast winter. 🙂

Oyster frenzy at Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse.

My friend Hamish & his lovely wife May are with an always smiling Jamie Lord.

The rest of the mob at Patrick’s.

Certainly one of our favourite restaurant, for more shots please check out THIS LINK.

The view from my balcony, how lucky am I?

See for yourself, just check out my webcam on THIS LINK.

I love seeing a storm roll in over Pattaya Bay from my condo.

Once again if you bookmark THIS LINK you can see the bay on my webcam.

Soi 33 Naklua

Obviously there is a big project about to begin here. This is opposite Leckerle one of my favourite restaurants.

Luca is the owner of Toscana restaurant on Beach Rd.

A very interesting guy who hails from Pisa, I caught up with him one morning for coffee. Here are some shots of his great restaurant.

There is always time for a pedicure

Only B150, or $6.30 AUD, if you want to know more about the cost of living in Pattaya just follow THIS LINK.

Jasmine’s Cafe in Pattaya Klang

Excellent low cost food for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Some of the dishes at Jasmine

Located between Beach Rd & 2nd Rd. Check out more of their dishes on

My new chair

The old one finally collapsed under my 112 Kilo weight. Having said that I have been making an effort to lose some weight. Since the new year I have dropped 6 Kilos down to 106.

There is always a building being demolished in Pattaya

This is in Soi 1 right opposite my condo.

Cottage Pie at the Sportsman Pub & Restaurant in Soi 13

Another excellent venue for very good food.

Finally Pattaya Beach is deserted

I have lived here 10 years & this is the quietest I have ever seen the beach.

Food handouts for the Thai people

Sadly there are many people struggling to survive in the pandemic, daily food handouts are a great help for them.

OK, I’m ready for the next 6 months. 🙂

Lets hope by Xmas Thai & Australian borders will be open.

It’s very sad to see so many businesses close their doos due to Covid-19, please see more on THIS LINK.

Thanks for visiting my Living with Covid-19 photo blog, let’s keep our fingers crossed that this awful virus will soon be behind us. This article sums up my first six months of 2021.

Cost of living Thailand

June 22, 2021 by David Herd

Cost of living Thailand

Cost of living Thailand compared to Australia is is quite surprising. As a rough estimate it is around 35% lower in Pattaya which is a beachside city 90 minutes south of Bangkok. I will highlight some examples including services which I would not be able to afford in Australia, such as pedicures & massages. 🙂

Cheap Charlies is a good example, breakfast starts at B89 or $4.84 AUD including tea or coffee.

Cheap Charlies

Located in Soi Buakhao beside the Sutus Court Hotel.

Cha Bear coffee

Diagonally across the road from Cheap Charlies & opposite Sutris Court Hotel, a hot coffee latte is only B40, or $1.68 AUD.

I love a foot massage

Normal price in Pattaya is B200 for 1 hour, or $8.40 AUD, I usually leave a B60 tip.

Some parlours in Pattaya Klang have slashed their price to B100, or $4.20 AUD.

The Covid crisis has forced may to close their doors or offer a discount. This is one of them located near 3rd Rd. The average price in Australia is around $70 as opposed to $8.40.

If you want to spend a little more on breakfast

This is B175 or $7.36 AUD, naturally the 1/2 avocado & the smoked salmon is the reason at Robin Hood Tavern.

If you have trouble reaching your toes…..

A pedicure is definitely the answer for B150 or $6.30 AUD + tip.

The view from my studio apartment

Rent is B4,150 or $175 AUD per week, for a view like this in Sydney or the Gold Coast you would pay $500 t0 $600 per week.

Now an example of low cost living close the the action of Soi Buakhao

Air conditioned room with a sports bar & restaurant downstairs. B4,500 per month or $190 AUD.

Only 2 minutes walk to Cheap Charlies. 🙂

Great location for $44 AUD per week.

Low cost lunch in Pattaya Klang

One of the many Chinese restaurants in Pattaya Klang or Central Road. Total cost including a bottle of water B240 or $10.90 AUD.

Massaman chicken curry at Robin Hood Tavern

Only B185 or $7.80 AUD, not only was it delicious I ordered take-away & got two full meals.

Transport in Pattaya

These Songthaews or Baht busses are a fantastic method of transport in Pattaya, there are hundreds of them, you rarely have to wait more than a minute. It’s hard to believe the cost of each ride is only B10, or 42 cents Australian. 🙂

Great value at Jasmine’s Cafe in Pattaya Klang.

Breakfast, lunch & dinner, excellent good low cost food.

Prawn & broccoli at Jasmine.

Only B140 or $5.90 AUD, + breakfast at B119.

The best value breakfast in Pattaya.

Foodland at Terminal is the place to go if you are looking for a low cost breakfast, only B65 or $2.70 AUD. This low price is available everyday between 6.30 & 9.30 am. Includes Tea or coffee, orange juice 7 toast & jam 🙂

Sewing lady

These nice ladies set up on the footpath and repair anything that needs sewing. She fixed up a pair of shorts for me for 80 cents AUD, so I I gave her an extra 80 tip. You gotta love Thailand.

Local doctor

Located on 2nd Rd 250 meters north of Central Rd, B100 or $4.20 AUD.

Hopefully this has given you an idea of the cost of living in Pattaya, come & grab yourself a slice of happiness.

Ten Years in Thailand from 2011 to 2021, including friends & family who have made an impact on my life. The first 9 were great before Covid-19 hit with a vengeance & people could no longer travel freely between countries.

How lucky am I?

This is the magnificent view from my condo on Beach Road.

Pattaya in all its glory

Home to around 100,000 people.

Farewell for now

Thanks for visiting my Ten Years in Thailand photo blog, I look forward to the end of the Covid crisis so we can all enjoy life as we previously knew it.
