Firefan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Looks like I will be back in Phuket there! Friends visiting from home - and do not want to miss out on those 2 piss-heads! I will try to drag them along should I manage to be there on the 5th precisely. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Rawai has some nice venues, Kata/Karon is kind of a compromise for all... .. I'm really not up for Patong, it costs too much, it always gets messy and hurts in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall64au Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Ok will get my thinking cap on. Totster is referring to the Freedom Bar in Rawai - they do have a live band on weekends and a decent garden lounge - also handy to home for me... Other suggestions for Kata/ Karon area most welcome!

smartecosse Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) rawai sounds good as its 2 mins from my house where is the Freedom bar then? Edited July 18, 2006 by smartecosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigerd Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 rawai sounds good as its 2 mins from my house where is the Freedom bar then? When you are heading down to Rawai beach it's just around the corner. May be this time I'll be there as well. But first going to my personal-piss up to Pattaya on the 28th.

Firefan Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Rawai!? Ah, can we at least look at Karon/Patong beach - and preferably Patong beach - or at least close to...... Alternatively we can have the Phuket piss-up in Hua Hin! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratri Jazztaurant on the Kata hill is funky, with fab views, a great deck and excellent jazz band, but not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 hmm... I only know one place up there .... sells cheap beer (Chang Draft on weekends) Pitchers for 100 baht ... met the owners last weekend. Lotsa "My type" of people there but friendly and welcoming ....

Sir Burr Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Frankly, I can't think of any nice bars in the Kata/Karon area that won't cost an arm and a leg. Even the beer bar areas are more expensive than Patong. How about the Tamarind bar, not far from Chalong circle? Booze prices reasonable, good food if you're hungry, very friendly owner and staff and best of all, it's by the water over-looking the yachts in the bay. Convenient for those who live north because you take a right onto the Bypass road and then it's straight all the way. Anyway, just an idea.

smartecosse Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) now obviously i dont get out and about enough cos i have lived in this part of thailand since sept and i dont recognise any of the bar names at all edited to add "note to self - must get a life !

donna Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 ive not been living here long enough to know too much about these places you are mentioning (ditto smartecosse - get a life donna) but am open to anything. jdinasia, i will probably (hopefully) be living close to you by then, so we can 'pool' in a tuk tuk if you like. i DO have a car, but dont want to not be able to drink - is that a bad thing? ccbloom sounds nice. worth a look. i hope we dont have to sing bette midler songs whilst there....wind beneath my wings is a bit depressing really....the crying drunks and all.... i like joes downstairs, even though a water costs as much as a beer in there! but it leaves a huge dent in the wallet. not to worry if its not to often though. i will check to see if i can get a discount at my place but its in patong. but im already getting scared....firefan, we all know you want patong because you want another sighting of that katoeys boobies! or is it because you want to make out with me in the back of khalls toyo.....oops, was that meant to be a secret?

Firefan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Donna; he,he - well first we have to get you to drink 4 drinks...... As for Patong I have another idea! I had beers and Thai food with my mom last at sunset at some of the bars/restaurants right on the Patong beach - basically where Bangla road meets the beach. They had good happy hours with 40 Baht heineken Etc.(but cheap even after that), perfect beach view and good Thai food for less than 100 Baht. If one of the "locals" walked down there and reserved a good table it would be a great spot to meet. I promise to be there on time this time! Feels a bit "off' to me to be on a beach island and not have the beach/ocean view at the piss-up..... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadman Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Is it safe to assume that we will be at that place in Patong, then? I don't care where, but I shall be at the soiree (khall, I shall be bearing peppermint tea; wolfie - Tetleys). See you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantal Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why dont you guys consider the Ska Bar under the big tree nest to Kata Pen Seafood Restaurant on the southern end of Kata Beach? I am sure that you could negotiate with the owner Khun Ring for a discounted price. Also if you don't like Reggae music she has plenty to choose from.

tom yum goong Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I would also recommend the Ska Bar at the end of Kata beach for an evening drink. Much more relaxed than Patong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartecosse Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 last time i looked there was a beach at rawai ?? must be an ulterior motive in "patong" suggestion, perhaps the proimity to the katoys r us bar.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Chalong: Tamarind Bar - great location, not expensive, nice food and a stones throw from my house! (might as well have the party at my place!) Rawai: Nikitas - great venue, not expensive and has been host to the first Phuket Pissup! Freedom - Dont really like the place myself, but i guess i can go there if thats what everyone wants Kata: Mellow bar - nice open bar, reasonable prices good tunes and close to the action should any of you dirty old buggers wanna head that way! Achor Bar - My local, good prices, decent grub, ok venue. Karon: Our House - nice venue, not expensive, i know the owner so can probably get us some kind of deal Patong: Dragon disco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Never let it be said that Wolfie doesnt do anything for you... George has kindly offered to make this an "Offical" party and buy a few changs to get the ball rolling... ... but... We need to get a strong idea of numbers and we need to decide on a venue. So, lets get the ball rolling and get an idea of venue. Personally i think Kata/Karon would be a more central location on the island, but its upto you lot. I have opened a new thread with a Poll on it (i couldnt figure out how to add a poll to this topic, sorry!) So i'll close this thread now so we dont end up with multiple threads covering the same topic!
