webfact Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Why a Full English trumps a Pad Thai any day of the week among Pattaya Expats By Dan Cheeseman For Brits and even other Western nationalities, an English Breakfast is the ultimate morning treat. It may not be healthy but it is very tasty, even more so with a cup of tea. So why is the full English so popular among the expat community of Pattaya when there are other such delights available on the menu from Pad Thai to Thai noodle soup?

trigpoint Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Besides being tastier, it keeps you going all day, unlike a pad thai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 Is it really that popular among non-U.K expats? I reckon not. I ordered it once. Sugary beans? Yuck. Black pudding? If you like blood. Bubble and squeak? No sex for brekkie please. 8 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canuckamuck Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 I would prefer to have a stack of buttermilk pancakes with butter, sausage patties, hash browns, an egg easy over, a glass of fresh squeezed OJ, and bottomless cup of good black coffee. But you go ahead and have your eggs, beans, sausage, and toast. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar501 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Beer is the only reason some Pattaya expats get out of bed each afternoon. A big greasy English fry-up is the best option to sooth away that thumping hangover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was replaced by a dye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod reborn Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yes, only the best from one of the world's highest cuisines. I wouldn't expect anything better from the denizens of Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no escaping the fact that black pudding is made from animal blood https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/all-you-need-know-about-black-pudding Edited June 7, 2018 by Jingthing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremia Juxtaposed Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) This guy talks so much <deleted>. I don't know anybody of any gender or of any nationality, expat or visitor that eats an English breakfast more than twice a month...most never at all or maybe once a month On my visits to Big C I normally grab a hawmok pladok or if I am lucky hawmok het for 20 baht from the stalls outside and have it for brekkie when I get home.. Same same Soi Buakhao market: I grab a small bag of Thai food for 30/40 baht + 10 baht rice - breakfast sorted!

watcharacters Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Dump those beans and the "mystery meat" sausages and then check out the rest of the menu. There's got to be something editable there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To create the "perfect" profile you just need to add that you don't speak a word of Thai and that it's too hot in Thailand. 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a sore stomach just looking at that greasy mess of a meal in OP. Guaranteed that 99% of people who eat this are obese or overweight. Pad Thai is wayyyyyyyyyyyy better and healthier to boot.

poanoi Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) i like bacon potato toast and egg, and for some reason that is usually referred to as "american breakfast", but there is just no way in hell i will eat sausage or beans when i have any option at all like i have in pattaya also wonder why dan cheese keeps harping on pattaya expats eats beans & sausage ?! i bet half expats here flat out refuse beans & sausage, i'm one of them Edited June 7, 2018 by poanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Plenty of decent English breakfasts at 100 baht (Retox) for one plenty at 140 and if you go to 200 baht versions you wont need to eat again that day for sure. Even buffets now for 180 Baht that has all of the ingredients that was in opening photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 What did she do to that poor egg?
