KittenKong Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It's got some great reviews on tripadvisor I dont see any reviews for it. I am hugely suspicious of TripAdvisor anyway. Most people reviewing on there seem to either be idiots or to be heavily biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 For the uninitiated - who, what, where etc please Above the News Cafe on Thappraya Road. Next door to Indian by Nature. Seems to be a fairly boring and overpriced place in the style of the other nearby establishments. Should suit the pretentious "movers and shakers" brigade perfectly. When walking past yesterday I noticed another clone has popped up a door or two from there. Cant remember the name of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When walking past yesterday I noticed another clone has popped up a door or two from there. Cant remember the name of that one. So you walked past and, while doing so, found out that the place is boring, overpriced and only suitable for pretentious people. Wow - you must be very perceptive! Don't get me wrong, what you have said might be true, but usually it takes an actual visit to confirm this (unless you're one of the "frugals" who cannot stand a place that serves beer costing more that what you pay in 7-11).

I said that it seemed to be fairly boring and overpriced, and in those respects it is similar to other places nearby. I don't think it takes much perception to work that out. I can see a certain type of person being attracted to it, but that attraction need not be exclusive and I dare say other people may like it also. As for the pretentiousness of the "movers and shakers" brigade, no perception is required at all to see that: they flaunt it. The recent "Brits in Bangkok" UK Channel 5 TV series gave a sample of them also, for those who want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugJackBaron Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I like it. I'm there now, having some pretentious lamb and mint sauce pitas for the CRAZY price of 140 Baht. Sophisticated computer analysis of the menu showed that the AVERAGE price of their daily special was about 225 Baht which is on par with that other sports bar down the road known as Pig and Whistle. And far cheaper than Shenanigans. There is a separate restaurant section which is a nice touch for those wishing quiet conversation or total silence. Did I say the specials show some imagination? Like free dessert on Monday with any main meal. If you don't like alcohol there is a rich juice and smoothie menu available. The full menu was not yet ready today but from next week they will have a full roast turkey , lamb or beef for 295B Check it out! The service was fast and friendly . Oh, and did I mention that it has fantastic free WiFi? Edited June 1, 2014 by BugJackBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't that often agree or like a lot of Kong's work on here. but I totally see where he is coming from here. He's right, you can definitely tell what type of place it will be by just having a brief look, we all know what this place will be like and we all know what type of clientele it will attract. He's spot on. I will probably pop in there one lunchtime but that will probably be it for me. I live too far from there to get home if I've been drinking anyway.

willyumcr Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 After looking over their menu, I find it very reasonable. I live close by so will for sure try it out even if i am pegged as a "mover and shaker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojomor Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 There's no such thing as a shaker and mover. This is a perception on the beholder's part. Having met presidents, world champion boxers, oscar winning actors etc, they are all just people. They have all the faults and strengths of everybody else, only gifted in a particular area of human endeavour. Good luck to Stewart in his new business. He desreves to succeed, as he is one of the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungabunga Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Frasers gets the thumbs up from me. The pretentious lamb pita pockets were delicious. The amount of moving & shaking I'll be doing there however may require a name change from Frasers to Parkinsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
