hi, 

have a friend coming over for his first time to pattaya.  He's australian.   Any good hangouts of australians he might visit, to get some lay of the land ? 

 

Zen

I just wanted to recommend Kangaroo in Patpong. But according to Google Maps it is permanently closed.

Maybe look on Facebook for an Ozzie ex pat group.

We have one here on Samui, and there was one when I lived in Singapore.

Walkabout Creek used to be good but I don't think it's there anymore ? Corner of South and Third.

 

The Boxing Roo along Third Road if that still exists?

Yes, it still exists but appears to be on life support.

Anzac Bar on Soi Chaiyapoon.

Soi 6    they'll take good care of him I hear  OR Jonthiem beach road is the Aus and Nz restaurant/bar. Big neon sign hanging out to the street.

HHH runs ..

Great place to meet eveyone .

Less than ideal for someone on his first trip to Pattaya, even if it was open.

I-Rovers Sportsbar, LK Metro, Aussie owners and good craic.

Here is the walkabout Creek now, it's long gone.

 

 

Same with Boxing Roo. It's been closed for years

 

Billabong Bar on the elbow of LK Metro is still going strong. Good for an early evening session with cheap beers and band (and freelancers). Good place to park to check out the LK Metro crowd

 

Also Kiwi & Wombat bar near soi 9 Jomtien beach road is a popular Aussie/NZ hangout

 

Frasers on way into Jomtien also an Aussie run bar for good food and sports

Boxing Roo has been closed for years. Roo Sign is still there if that's what you mean by life support?

Even if it was open, that's a long taxi ride from Pattaya 😆

CoCoNut Bar and the ghost ladies of Beach Road he will get the lay of the land for sure.

YMMV.

So this is a list of bars to avoid then. Ok. Got it.

HI Boss Bar Soi 6.

Yep, we'd really like you to avoid any of these bars.

No.....that bit is ideal for a first visit.

 

I do fail to see the attraction of a national, of any country, visiting Pattaya and wanting to spend all their time with other nationals of his country.

Australia

 Hey Zen, If you are bringing your Aussie mate on his first trip you don't want to take him to only Aussie bar and talk b.s .to fellow australians.He can do that at home.Take him to a range of bars  so that he can meet people of all nationalities many who are interesting to talk to. Also after some "education" go to some girlie bars..you can't get bars like them in Australia !!!

Patpong, Bangkok.

And yes, after I wrote the comment, I realized that this is in the Pattaya forum.

Just push him alone in any girly bar - Soi 6 is probably a good start.

He will learn fast. He has to. 

Kangaroo 2 Soi Lengee

They have renamed it to Soi fatties.

In addition to the info you are receiving on here re Aussie hangouts better advise your friend to watch out for plastered poms wandering about looking for trouble in the early hours.
