CanadaSam Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 As I haven't been in Pattaya long, I would appreciate suggestions on venues where we can celebrate the holidays, personally I prefer A/C, rooftop, or other nice view, but all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Yes, but beware the obligatory 'Gala Dinner' at many hotel venues.. they can be good, but a lot of money, and drinks expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Many bars lay on some sort of special to celebrate Christmas. There are several good rooftop bars to go to, my own favourites are Horizon Hilton, Siam@Siam, Arbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bones Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Grab a 44 gallon drum of filthy water and start Songkran early? You will be popular with our female PM.🙃🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they're godless heathens who celebrate in their own fashion. It's hardly fitting for a Westerner to pass the occasion in such a turpid manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The trouble with those 2 nights is the terrible traffic. Impossible to get a bus/taxi anywhere. Stay in your local bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like to think these super busy days/nights are an exception, silly season, Songkran, Fireworks Competition and other events. Although the powers that be seem to be aiming at 52 such weekends every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of potential retirees, if they have not traveled a lot, have a postcard notion of quiet secluded tropical islands in Asia. I just wanted to point out that it has not been my experience in general, with a few memorable exceptions. The vast majority of the time I have been in crowded noisy areas and privacy is at a premium. Edited December 30, 2023 by JimTripper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
