Best Xmas Dinner

[CiaranO]

So about to celebrate my first xmas in Thailand. Was wondering if anyone had a good suggestion for somewhere to go for a delicious traditional xmas dinner?

Indigo Pearl IMHO. There was a thread on the same topic recently:

When I came to Thailand in 2004 I wanted to avoid Christmas. I ended up in Cambodia for Christmas 2004. I had a flight on Phuket Airlines from Bangkok to Phuket booked for the 26th. That flight was canceled... I guess I was lucky...

And yes I've heard good things about Indigo Pearl as well. If price isn't an issue and they still have any servings available...

^ Was it cancelled before the tsunami or because of it?

Moo's Tex Mex in Rawai and BBQ Hut in Patong both do Xmas dinner.

Because of it. I was in the Siem Rep Airport in the morning when some other Americans told me about it. My friend who has family in Kao Lak wouldn't believe it. His family was okay though. But what a hugh tragedy it was and look what's happened to Phuket since...

What's Moo serving?

Been looking myself - found a few options below:

Irish Times, Jungceylon, Patong - 3 course, inc. turkey or ham main course and Xmas pudding, brandy sauce, mince pies - 895 baht + VAT

Islander, Soi Patong Resort, Patong - 3 course, inc. turkey, Xmas pudding & custard - 895 baht inc. glass of house wine.

Gallery Cafe, Phuket Town - mulled wine welcome drink then 3 courses, inc. turkey or ham but no Xmas pudding - 590 baht

All the above seem to be from 1pm - 9pm and all asking to make reservations.

Indigo Pearl is traditional.

Why do you think anywhere that was mentioned on this thread wouldn't be serving a traditional style Christmas dinner? BBQ Hut is owned by an American, Moo is Don's ex wife. Don's Restaurant had a great spread every Christmas. Turkey, ham, roast beef, roast pork, and lots more... She learned some things from him. But of course neither is British...

Happy Saturnalia everybody.

Gallery Cafe by Pinky in Phuket Town (590bt until 9) and the Expat Hotel in Patong (690bt near Bangla Road). The Gazette and Phuket News have quite a few options listed.

So, did anyone have a good Xmas dinner experience that can serve as an early recommendation for next year?

Had a great turkey dinner with all the trimmings at Friendship Beach.

It was excellent.

Thanks Charlie.

Ended up going to the Irish Times in Patong.....it was ok.....very stingy on the turkey. One slice of white meet.....but the Guinness was good lol

Went to one in Ubon but the Turkey had gone on holiday somewhere.

In Laguna area I ate at the Siam Supper Club. When I made reservations they said there was no special Christmas menu but was happily surprised to see a chef's special was turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Wife was very happy to find turkey on the menu but has been really craving pumpkin pie. Did anyone see pumkin pie anywhere this year? Rack of lamb that night was excellent.
