May 19, 20196 yr There is also tables & chairs on the 3rd Floor roughly outside of Carl's Jr burger place. Quite popular with the mall's customersRefreshing to see farangs gathering around playing chess than sitting around shirtless along Beach Road drinking beer.

I was there YESTERDAY. The tables were all gone as I described in the OP. You guys must look more closely. These tables were still there yesterday evening, as said and proved by @bkk6060 - but they are on the other side of the wall from before, so inside Tops.

If that is true then that explains this little mystery. But sorry if they are INSIDE Tops that obviously implies that they are only inviting Tops customers probably mostly to eat snacks and drinks they have bought there. When the tables were outside the confines of the store, that was obviously an invitation to the tables for everyone and anyone.

I remember the good old days of pay toilets and this classic poem from the day, Here I am sitting broken hearted Paid a dime But only farted Yesterday I took a chance, Saved a dime and crapped my pants.

If referring to Starbucks / Beach Road, one can sit for half the price at McDonalds as far as Coffee is concerned. Only 20 meters away. Same view, same noise, same air-pollution, same passers-by, same Motorbike salesmen wanting to sell you a 500 Bht quality Swiss watch. - It's just if one sits at said Starbucks, the local Female Population frequenting Beach Road will deduce that one is a 2-week millionaire, thus applying Starbucks-Prices when it comes to administer a classic Thai Massage. You got to love the "inner-workings of Pattaya. PS: The Coffee at Starbucks isen't any better than the cesspool effluent that is served at McDonalds. Maybe one just wants a coffee...

May 19, 20196 yr This seat was near the front on the first floor crying for attention. If the OP needs a place to sit and rest, seems like the perfect spot....

Think of walking into a bar or restaurant with ZERO (or few customers). NOT inviting.

I like seeing the chess players every day on the beach....That is till they removed all the seats...

They installed some at the north end yes..but the ones at the south end was where all the "action" used to take place..as for chess they used to also sit in Burger King at Royal Garden.. I've also seen them at the food court downstairs at Central Pattaya Beach. When Harbor Mall first opened they had lots of lovely sofas..soon signs appeared saying "no sleeping" then the sofas where removed ????

This was not a joke or exaggeration... 95% of the seating on the promenade was ripped out never to be seen again in 2013.... The seating went from north to south solid..... If you were not here then this may be hard to believe but thats the way it was....
May 20, 20196 yr Too many old white guys sitting around all day, with a bottle of water they brought from home.

So if old white guys are not spending 3000-5000 baht a day their life is worthless.....And they should just stay home or check out as soon as possible?.... Thats just horrible to have to look at retired guys sitting and talking to other retired guys on the beach..

The tables downstairs at TOPS were a throwback from the food centre that used to be there. Following that Cheap Charlies would buy food in the supermarket and eat it at the tables placed outside. Maybe they became unsightly or weren't tiding up after themselves. Who knows?
