Christmas Dinner in Pattaya Dec 2015

[The Deerhunter]

I have friends over from home and we are meeting them in Pattaya over Christmas. There will be 4 of us. I was thinking of Jameson's Irish pub for Christmas dinner. Has anyone any constructive comments or alternative suggestions?

[CJK1]

Lots of my friends are going to Mantra on beach road.It's meant to be really good and is #7 of 693 Pattaya restaurants on Trip advisor.

[KittenKong]

Perhaps a mod will move this to the Pattaya forum where it belongs?

[KittenKong]

This lot should get people started:

The Marriot - Dec 24 - 2900B++

Enjoy the spectacular shows and performances, a variety of fun-filled entertainment for the entire family. Not to forget the enormous dinner buffet prepared our chef featuring the age old traditions; from tender roast turkey to succulent seafood, from baked Virginia honey glazed ham to Christmas pudding, our buffet has it all.

Let us do the work and have yourself a merry little Christmas at Pattaya Marriott Resort & Spa for the price of Baht 2,900++ per person, children half price.

Mantra & Sportsman look interesting. Good promotion by the Sportsman, though. No address, phone or email on the poster. Perhaps it is designed as an on-site-only poster.

Personally I think that nearly all the Xmas prices in Pattaya and mentioned so far in this thread are way over the top and have been for several years. Supply and demand, I suppose. There's only one Dec 25th each year and if you want to eat a special meal on that day you have to pay the price. I expect that the same meal on another day would only cost half the quoted prices.

That said, if you get some really luxury items and entertainment at the big hotels then maybe the meal is worth 2500 or 3500B.

The Sportsman's contact details are easy to find online and for anyone who doesnt know they are in Soi 13 opposite The Avenue mall. Their food is usually good but is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Same applies to their Xmas menu.

Quite possibly. Dicey Reilly usually does a discount for early orders on these special menus, so maybe that will apply to the quoted prices. There have been some quite big increases in many restaurants this year, I think. Not just limited to Xmas menus or particular places.

It's not hard to find better and cheaper restaurant meals in the UK now.

Their early bird offer was 100 Baht off the posted price. For Christmas Day I think you had to book by December 20th. I suppose the +/- 50% price hike is related to the turkey shortage in Thailand.
