Popular Post thailiketoo Posted July 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2014 Went to Pattaya last night for dinner and a night out. The clickbaiters and bashroos would have you believe that the town is slow or tourism is down. Maybe But........... It's perfect now. Waited 10 minutes for a table at the Hopf brew house. The food came quickly and was a great mix of Thai, German and pub food, excellent pizza perfectly cooked. The beer was fresh wonderful. For dessert went next door to Melt Me and had Hokkaido chocolates and gelato. A great show put on by the old punters with giant lady boys in tow. The town never ceases to entertain and now it is the perfect mix of everything open but no large crowds. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1000 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Glad you enjoyed. I have eaten there, never disappointed. As for Pattaya, always the same, just people and their circunstances can change hence their views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Pat Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I remember my first night out too and wanting to tell the whole world about it. Ooohh, look at me everyone, I had a night out and am now going to tell a bunch of strangers on the internet what I had for dinner. Did you take pictures of it too and put it up on facebook? You did, didn't you. Anyhow, glad you enjoyed it. I went there years back and don't have fond memories, but I think I wil give it another go soon. I'd kind of forgot about the place.

Actually it was my one thousand and fifty second night out in Pattaya. I lived there for a number of years. My first time there was in 1968. Not much to write home about then. 2 bars one hotel that I remember. How about you? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was up in Khon Kaen recently and they have a nice German brew house in the basement of the Pullmans hotel. I'm actually visiting Germany in October and taking in several cities, looking forward to it and the beers. Never been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailiketoo Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) You are obviously nothing less than another real estate agent! Buzz off before our harpies descend to rip you apart. I have never been a real estate agent in any country. I've been in Pattaya when it was slower and when it was busier. The customers at the Hopf are an interesting sign of the times. When I first went there 10 years ago all the men spoke English and the women looked at the food with trepidation. Now there was about 20% Western men and 80% Asian. All drinking the beer brewed there. There were a number of Asian women dining together eating Western food; something one didn't see 10 years ago. A year ago at the Hopf there were a lot of Russians singing; last night none. We got there at 7 and it was busy by 10 it was slow. Nice mix. The streets were easy to walk on but still had enough odd sites to make it interesting. A few stunners sitting at one of those VW bus bars and that surprised me.

Been waitin' to hear how the member who bet "both nuts" is now faring. Suggest you not go that far. Talk to Tim, the brewmeister, great guy. While you're at it, order his favorite dish from the kitchen. Me, I went there just last week and had a pint or so of wheat beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailiketoo Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 OK Thailike, you went to Hopf and liked it. Congrats. ... And that makes "Pattaya Perfect" ? No. The amount of people in Pattaya, which was my point, is perfect. No waits but enough people to have everything open and functioning. See, if it was real slow Pattaya would have closed down parts of the action. Some one who posts on Thai Visa likes to go on and on about Pattaya being slow and without tourists. Not so. I went there last night and looked. It was not jammed with people but there were people there enjoying themselves because the place was not overloaded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are thousands of pictures from Google Image of the place, the pizza ovens, the kitchen and yet strangely not one showing the beer being brewed, the place is always busy and sells a lot of the wheat beer, its would be major operation to produce that much beer, its not done on the premises, certainly not in those tanks behind the bar, the vents are not even connected your kidding yourself if you think it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Search of Space Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 What beers do they serve? If you like German wheat beers then it is worth it, dont order the biggest glass as it is flat by the time you get to the end ! Pizzas are good too, but unless you are on the beach road, getting to it by car can be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
