buriramboy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 for those of you who want a bar on the beach which is basically open all hours, next week when at the Elephant bar walk down to the beach (about 100 steps to go down though) and you will find the Tsunami bar, its not the biggest bar in the world but for about 10-15 people no problem. like i said in a previous post it is the only place in pattaya/jomtien that comes close to feeling like you are on an island. Worth a look and make up your own minds. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buriramboy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 i'll definately be at the elephant next week and probably but not 100% yet at the drunken duck tomorrow. probably easier for someone to post a map with cabbages and condoms on as most people know where that reataurant is and the elephant bar is near enough next door. no idea how to post maps etc. so can't help there.

Pattaya_Fox Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Drunken Duck -- Where is it? I could not see it and I walked all the way up Soi Diana Inn this morning Here you go... http://www.thedrunkenduck.org/THE-LOCATION-MAP (thanks Brit!) 7pm tomorrow night.....Friday, 2 February. All TV members are cordially invited to meet and greet fellow members, to evaluate the facilities and to post their observations to the TV management for future pissup consideration. Slightly off topic but if you guys feel the need for a sobering large mug of nescafe (after your evening of alcoholic libation at the DD) the open bar/guesthouse right on the corner further down soi L K metro (walking away from Soi Buahkao) provides such a pick me up for about 30 baht. It somehow revives the legs. Edited February 1, 2007 by Pattaya_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Conners Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Somewhere (anywhere) outdoors so we don't have to breathe 2nd hand smoke Phil, I take it you are one of those reformed smokers, who keeps waving the air around you when people smoke, pulling faces. We could always have a beach party. Neutral ground ? Simbo, I take it you are one of those addicts who try and try but who can't stop? Or keep trying to convince everybody that they "enjoy" it and don't worry about the health consequences of their habit? Beach parties are fine as long as it's somewhere relatively safe. The Tsunami bar referred earlier is a great little place to take your girlfriend/wife but I'm not sure it's the right place for a large party, it would kinda spoil the serene atmosphere of the place. Someone mentioned Tropical Bert has an outside area? Or maybe I got that wrong... What about Monty's place out at the lake?

raro Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Drunken Duck Recon: Beer prices are lower than at Blues Factory. Girls look better than at Drunk and Dare-a-Licks Food was ok. But no parking anywhere around and not really the place for an official Piss-up. Nevertheless, we had a great time and nice meeting also finally Kurgen and Lovely Cutie in person!

britmaveric Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) So how many showed? Must admit, parking is non-existent but owner is great lad, couldnt miss him, might give daleyboy a run for his dosh for being giant. Not a good sign when the first thing mentioned is the ladies.

Buckwheat Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I believe there was 9 folks there at one time last night. The accessability was non-exsistant. I drove the truck and had to park about 500 meters down the street and walk back to the DD. Also, navigating Soi Buahkao was an event in itself. I don't think any of us sat there for longer than 2 minutes at a time without having movies, bikini's, lighters, flowers etc. shoved in our faces. One of the more "in your face" street hawker hangouts that I seen yet. I believe it would be too small for a gathering of more than 20 people. I didn't eat so I'll have to defer the food issue to those who did. The only music I heard was some sort of techno music, but it wasn't at ear splitting levels. Don't know if the owner/manager is a TV member or not. It would be a great place if you were a single guy on the back of a motorbike looking to have a good time, but I believe it would be a bad place to have a pissup. Once again, great company and I enjoyed meeting new faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buriramboy Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 nice to see you all again, like others have said parking non-existant, all in all though a nice enough bar, especially the well endowed waitress. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatgaz Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 My thoughts on this subject is weekly recons are too much and will end up spoiling the good thing you guys have got going.Fortnightly or even every third week would be abt ideal to keep the interest level up.

You're right and everyone had decided at the last recon to meet up every 2 weeks. And the interest is there, as we had more people at the last recon at The Caddyshack than we did at the last official pissup. This one was kind of impromptu because we had reservations about location, accessability etc. and still had 9 people show up. But weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, all TV members are cordially invited to meet and greet and to evaluate the possible venues. If any TV member has any other venue that they would like to have a recon at, please post it here. Other than next weeks recon at The Elephant Bar, I don't believe there are any venues waiting in the wings. Besides that, it will give Raro something to do on his Friday nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buriramboy Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 i am getting stuck for ideas for bars that are big enough and wife freindly, so people start posting some ideas, 1 off the top of my head though is the bowling green (near x-yte), if its still open as i haven't been there for probably 2 years.

davethailand Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I would hope that the beer prices are lower than The Blues Factory as its a different kind of bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well don't know until you try def sounds like there are better spots for pissups. Tropical Berts sounds like its still in #1 position? Dave - yes, I'd pray prices would be way lower than Blues Factory, Disco or a Go Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....we also had that feeling...but after we chained buriramboy to his barstool and forced him to down some refreshments at gunpoint, he relaxed finally and enjoyed our company after just one week of recovery from our last encounter...

elsie Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Nice meeting you all. And very lovely to see Mr Buckwheat in his favourite pink shirt. I have very similar opinions regarding the DD. A bit difficult to find for someone who is not familiar with the neighbourhood. And then, DVDs.. watches.. elephant.. flowers.. Not too bad of a place for a boy to hang out, though.

banchang Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Why not all hop on to a baht bus and head on over to Ban Chang for a fun and cheap night out!! It would also save me the efort of getting to Pattaya. ps can you make it easter week as im in the UK till then. Yours hopefully Banchang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours hopefully Banchang What an incredible coincidence! I was just about to make the same suggestion. Myself and another TV member (who shall remain anonymous unless he chooses to volunteer his name), did a small of reccy of Bang Chang this afternoon and came to the conclusion that it would prove an excellent venue for an out of town TV Pissup. Parking? - No problem Food? - The offshore is a classy pub, with good cheap food. Non smokers? - plenty of tables outside each of the bars. Wives? - tuck them away to natter in the Offshore. The rest of us? - there's enough bars there to have one for each attendee, and if you feel sleepy, plenty of comfortable beds on the second floor. Who's for it?

Mobi Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 30 mins, its where the wifes from. Yes, I guess it would be about that. I drove from The Mobi Mansion down Highway 31 and then took a right to Bangchan. About 25 mins door to door. BTW I was joking about the wives - strictly a 'no wives' venue. We could meet in the Offshore (plenty big enough) and take it from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh101 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 With the exceptions of the first and last bar on the strip, The Camel and the Offshore bar, Ban Chang is not really a place to take the wife............................I mean, would you take your wife to Soi 6 ?
