A fellow member asked me a specific question to which I replied, so why are you asking me that question ? He wanted to know if the restaurant was serving alcohol and that was my reply, or didn't you read the whole thread ??

YOU not answer my simple question !!

Next stop was Jomtien bar (no names) had maybe 20 customers at 7pm....no masks worn

 

Last stop Beer Hub Soi Boukhao 8-10pm.............quiet ,maybe 10 customers.....all had masks

 

 

I thought bars were ordered closed, or has that been recalled as well?

Thanks for the correction, but beer hub sounds to me a strange name for a restaurant ????

I ventured  out 5pm yesterday.............went to 3 Mermaids Cafe on Pratamak Hill...........about 100 people there , 90 % were thai...........looking round masks worn but under the chin.....i kept mine fully on

I know i should be holed up in the house...........and will be for the next week...........just needed to get out for a few hours.

 

Nice view from 3 Mermaids by the way.......

 

Hi Thaiflyer

 

Interesting thanks, up until about a month ago I had not even heard of 3 Mermaids. I only became aware due to a Thai lady sending me links to photos as she had just visited. Added to your own I think the place looks lovely.

 

A question please, I have not yet been but fancy a visit.

Going by photos the place seems more than big enough to handle 100 customers.

If I went would I still be able to find a decent spot to sit with a view?

Am I right in thinking I would be able to have a beer or wine there? I am prepared to try a meal there also.

 

Thank You

Seating with a view is not a problem but be careful, they have some seating 5m up in the air in a form of birds nest which cost 2000 baht for 3 hours

 

They then have 2 seater sofas looking directly onto the sea at 1000 baht for 3 hours.........lastly they have a table and 2 chairs seating which is free......i/ll attach a few photos you can see the sofas and my table just behind them, to me they are not worth the sofas are not worth 1000 baht charge, i took a coyote dancer with me and she tried to plonk me on a sofa,she was soon dissuaded with the option of some food instead.

 

Beer and wine both available but its not cheap, Hoegartten 299 a pint, smoothie 229 baht, coke 45 baht......photos below, the cupcake was 119 baht the waffle and fruit 269 baht, my bill came to 1100 baht but sometimes you have to just get out of the house.......the company also made the difference!!!

 

Also a live band from 5.30pm

Nice to know if you missed a nice load of covid for Christmas you can still get it with a drink .

[kinyara]

Excellent report and photos Thaiflyer, I'd heard about the place but the photos I'd seen previously didn't do it justice by only showing the Mermaid. I'll pay a visit based when things normalise based on your feedback.  ????

I prefer ice and a slice. You need to specify what you want with your drink.

Hi Thaiflyer

 

Thank you so much for the clear answers and photos.

I agree with you on the poor value of the paid for seating.

Table and chairs fine by me.

 

My decision made, I will go, maybe next week end.

I will actually arrange to see if a lady will meet me there.

 

Overall cost high but I generally live quite modestly so not an issue to pay more for something I consider "special".

 

Cheers

The 2000 and 1000 charges are actually vouchers, and are just minimum spend.

By taking their mask and blinkers off.

As I would be spending over 1K that is fine.
