leprechaun Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hiya... I’d like to introduce my family to some western culture. Can you recommend a nice pub in BKK that would be suitable for a family for that traditional Christmas dinner on the 25th? If you have addresses/telephone numbers it would be beneficial. Thanks-Leprechaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockstar Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Myself, Big Dave and the girls are thinking about going to the Xchange. Also a few people from the footy team. but we will need to book. Just waiting on the total numbers. Its about 1000 baht each. You can check out the menu. Goto farang food and pubs forum. On the 2nd page there is a link. someone else posted a similar question to you. If your up for it then you can come with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks-Leprechaun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Plenty of good "farang" pubs serving Christmas food this year, but many are near roads associated with girly bars as thats where most forigners socialize. So dinner in the evening might be an eye opener for young kids.... Nevertherless, if its a family Christmas dinner, and you're in the Sukhumvit area, try the Huntsman Pub located below the Landmark Hotel. Large, reasonably priced (Thai & western Men should someone not like the Christmas dinner) and with live entertainment..but book now!!!!!

Axel Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) I am sure, all the well known pubs will be doing something special. Huntsman, as mentioned above in Landmark, is always a good recommendation and not expensive. Bobby's Arms in Patpong carpark comes to my mind oldest pub in town, afaik or the Bull's head on Sukhumvit 33/1 Check out Bangkok Post for specials but book asap. They are usually full. Here a link to pubs, but no phone numbers: http://www.bangkokbob.net/bars_pubs.htm PS: Sorry, cannot recommend too much, as myself celebrates on 24th. and usually not in Bangkok but back home.

Why is it that the French and the Scans have XMAS dinner on the 24th? Surely XMAS day is the day for a XMAS dinner. I used to live with a Danish guy and his tgf in Bangkok and he was always wanting to have big Xmas dinner on the 24th. It never happened. Because XMAS dinner is on XMAS day. Strange!

Axel Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hey guys, it is the jolly season and peace to the world. Dave said it, it's different everywhere. As far as I know, England and the rest of the UK celebrate Christmas on 25th as their old colonies do... The Christian Europe has Christmas on 24th, i.e. Christmas Eve. Traditionally that's the first time the candles are lit on the tree, gifts exchanged and a light dinner at home (once a year not too much work for the housewife) Later mass (never went there myself) For children the gifts are brought by Christ's child on th 24th and put under the tree (not in socks on a chimney on 25th) Big food on 25th, which is called 1st Christmas holyday. Relax on the second holiday and try to get sober, slim down by taking a long walk... (Boxing day in english speaking coutnries, I was told comes from the fact that you do away with the gift boxes ?? Anyway, have a nice, happy and merry Christmas. No need to fight over different traditions, although I would try to introduce the mistletoe back home. Peace and joy to all of you.

yeti Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm having a dinner on the 24th at home with french friends, and another on the 25th in a pub (Londoner) with english friends, so I think I found a good "compromis" . But I have a question for a better understanding of this strange english culture: do you have your New Year dinner on the 31st of December, or on the 1st of January ???

I made a reference to Scans in general. But where did i mention Europeans as a WHOLE? As for why people celebrate on XMAS Eve in Europe. No one has actually given a decent reason for this. Except thats the way it is. Well lets look at it this way. On Xmas day we as people from the Uk celebrate XMAS On surprisingly Xmas DAY! We have our Xmas DINNER surprisingly on Xmas Day! Not the day before as this is NOt Xmas.. People from Oz,Eire, Nz Sa, US, Canada, Sth America, and so on and on celebrate on Xmas day and have their Xmas dinner then also.

Why did you not include the REST of Europe, as opposed to picking out the countries that you mentioned. ?? And yes, we Europeans, do all celebrate the “Eve of Christ’s Birth". Hope that answers your question. Squeeze me "Scot from that Land", and beg my pudding, but do not you eat at Luncheon Time on that day ? and not at Dinner Time? Hence this questions ? Kwai do you call it “Xmas “DINNER”” then Cheers:- Jock have a good one. Love all of you lots. Kan Win P.S. Have you noticed why all the hotels in Bangkok are celebrating Christmas Eve?
