Breakfast is so easy to make at home and much better.  Do expats really go out regularly and eat breakfast. They wouldn't know an over easy eggs style. Cold toast, frozen butter, instant coffee.

 

I second that (the ease of making much better breakfast at home) and wonder about why people would bother with the crappy 100 Baht food. The one place in Pattaya that used to have really good breakfast was Pig and Whistle on Soi 7. Sadly, that place has been closed for a while now...

 

Regardless, thanks for bringing back memories, @ChuckInBangkok, been to many of those places for a quick drink or a cup of coffee...

Personally for myself, I love to get up early and walk - have a nice breakfast - and then I'm ready to start my day.

My, is that place still going!

Indeed - when I was in Patts this year, it appeared to have expanded, and was still full.

I've had several evening meals and cocktails there over the years, (never breakfast) and always found the only bad thing about it was actually being unable to get a seat. Good luck to them!

So basically what this thread is saying is - if you want the exact same breakfast that is served at almost every bar in the city - just go to any bar in the city.

Because almost every breakfast shown was the exact same thing.

2 eggs. 2 weiners or pieces of boiled sandwich ham, 2 pieces of usually cold toast with nearly frozen butter, maybe some baked beans and a stewed tomato or two. And a cup of gahd-awful instant coffee.
I've seen the same thing served in dozens of bars, pubs, guesthouses and restaurants in the city.

Jolly's seemed to be the only one with any variety.

Friends of mine have a large bar on Soi Buakhao. They used to serve the "cheapie" breakfast (2 eggs, 2 weiners, 2 toast and a coffee). Thy seems to think most of their customers couldn't afford more.
I pointed out a couple places nearby that were serving larger breakfasts for a few baht more and a month later, they were doing the same.

I asked why they used weiners instead of pork sausages (and sandwich ham instead of bacon). 
Cost.
Weiners and sandwich ham are much cheaper and most of their customers apparently don't want to pay "extra".

I always liked the breakfasts at Tigglebitties. A bit more expensive than the breakfasts you get in all those bars, but they are also a lot better.

I think the comment is a bit sour and o

I find this thread pretty useful

Could we agree on the different between 'jam' & ' jelly'. The latter being a slimy, glutinous 'afters' that is a favourite of children especially for their birthday parties. It is not the sweet, fruit based   COMESTIBLE that we spread on our toast.

Your videos are probably fantastic but I am only looking for a place that will let me replace the hot dogs and fake meat for a couple of extra eggs and a good cup of coffee.

Jelly can be both.  The difference between jam and jelly spread on toast is that for jelly the fruit is put through a strainer so the result is a  much smoother texture than jam, where the fruit is crushed or chopped.
