It will always be Delaneys to me.

Me too.

Ditto.

havent been in since it last was

Same here. The quality of service of the staff and especially the manager was much better

It's hard to imagine a better casual atmosphere bartender in Thailand than Khun Tan, that guy would rate well anywhere in the world. I've always liked the rest of the staff quite well too, though, and I wasn't around when it was Delaney's, but absence does make the heart grow fonder. It'll be good to have him back in the neighborhood.

Agreed, Tan is a great barman and so is Nui actually, she has also been there since Delaney's days.

i beleive tan was around even in the delaneys days, shaved head big smile?

Yep, that's him.

Somebody said "the Irishmen dried up;" I've never met a dry Irishman!

(Joking of course).

I've been going since Delaney's too. Sounds like the next version will be great. Look forward to the opening. Tan's great.

Surprising how many people go there regularly. I probably see them every week and don't know who they are. Weird.

If Molly Malones in BKK is like Phuket, now worries.

Just for the sake of curiousity, why did the Irish pub on Soi Convent, the Irish Exchange, close down?

The supply of Irishmen just dried up, people would come in with two kerry men and a desparate need for a donegal man. Sadly none could be found. After a while they were imprting knock off irishmen made in china with names like Lao Ping O'Mally and Seamus Hang Soin Murphy. These ting tong copies would start to leak Guinness after only a week. In the end it was cheaper to refer people with irish to exchange to to save them up until they had a hundred and then exchange them for one Yorkshire man. Strong intelligent, full of charm with a full head of hair and rippling muscles. In short........Moi

Oh my. Thanks for a laugh!

Irish pub, English pub - what's the difference?

Irish pub, English pub - what's the difference?

Not a lot, same beer, different decor as a rule, especially in this part of the world.

Of course, it might be different in Ireland ... or, err ... England
