ciaociao Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Doesn't really surprise me as it has always seemed busy in the evening when I have been and we are just coming to high season. When I phoned the Montein hotel last week inquring about the buffel they told me 800bt and 900bt. Now in the Pattaya Mail they advertise 850bt and 995bt?? Confusing Will phone again,but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah like you are really going overboard paying 400 baht for a buffet! Heck i dont class myself as a big spender but i regularly spend that and more on a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the regular price has gone up to 350B I would expect the Friday lunch to now be 450B. If it hasn't increased then that can only be a good thing.

If it hasn't increased then that can only be a good thing. sorry Darrel, you are correct when it was first opened it was 300 baht for the lunch every day except Sunday then the price for the Friday seafood buffet rose to 400 Baht around March/April i think the price rose by 50 baht on October 1st to 350 baht for everyday but Friday and Sunday so its still 400 baht on Fridays i stand corrected still great value though..........

Darrel Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's certainly very good value compared with the quite mediocre meals that some farang pub/restaurants want 300B for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timekeeper Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 as long as you don't order a soft drink (b100) and no more free water. you would be looking at it from a frugal point of view i expect free water is of American origin and whilst many Americans apparently complained that Hilton was an American company and free water should be provided as per American tradition Hilton saw fit to ignore them and applied a charge personally i thought was a bonus and to their credit they did it for some 6 months with no charge presumably they did it until it was noted that cheap charlies were guzzling gallons of free water instead of buying a 100 baht drink anyway its still only 25 baht for a bottle of Minere try getting a bottle of water for 25 baht in the royal cliff, sheraton, etc maybe you could get tap water for that anyway, i think its great value, its my favorite place in Pattaya, i say that having visited every restaurant of any note over the last ten years i go at least a couple of times a week and frankly the view and general ambiance is worth the 300 baht i am looking forward to the Skybar opening..........

Jingthing Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Free drinking water is hardly limited to American culture. Go the typical Thai street restaurant and there is ... free water. Guzzling water? Are you kidding? At an all you can eat BUFFET of any price level, my feeling is that free drinking water is totally expected all over the world. You are saying the Hilton really doesn't offer that? That's sleazy. Edited October 22, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimate Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 But Rimmer old chap ,we are discussing the overpriced European style buffet ,that some of our members have travelled half way round the world to live and then end up eating at,instead of good Thai food at a reasonable price ,if you wish to eat at such places why not stay in the West?

Guzzling water? Are you kidding? At an all you can eat BUFFET of any price level, my feeling is that free drinking water is totally expected all over the world. You are saying the Hilton really doesn't offer that? That's sleazy. Not that many years ago everywhere that did food offered free water, delivered by van in those big plastic containers. These days only the cheaper Thai places seem to have free water (and that in itself is somewhat bizarre), as do the breakfast buffets, and that often comes out of the reverse osmosis machines. Everywhere else, including lunchtime and evening buffets, seem just to do small plastic bottles and charge accordingly. Just part of the general milk-it-for-what-you-can trend, I suppose. The bottled water at the Hilton is fairly cheap, as mentioned, when compared with the prices of other drinks there. I remember some 30 years ago going into the lobby of one of the 5* places on Beach Rd every morning to read the newspaper, for free, and always being given a glass of ice water complete with slice of lime, also for free. They dont do that these days either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGJIMMY Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ha ha, you leave this threads open long enough and they ALWAYS end up in arguments!!
