Patong2 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Driving down to Rawai area for lunch, anyone any favourite places for a lunch. Euro or Thai food, cheapo or more, just looking for somewhere different. Naketa's has a nice view but feel like something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Try Friendship Beach. Good food, tho not cheap. Great view. Good Sunday roast at Happy Days. You can Google both for location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been there once, many years ago. Good food, but, wasn't impressed with the nearly one hour wait.......and I was the only customer. Has it changed in this respect?

pagallim Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Phuket Yacht Club (open to non-members). From Chalong Circle onto Chaofa East, about 1 km, turn right. Good views, good food. An excellent Sunday roast lunch for 370 baht. Live guitarist between 2 and 5 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The roast at the PYC doesn't have roast potatoes and is more expensive than Happy Days (which I personally think is better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBB Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Sabai Corner, along the southern coast of Kata, is great. There's a little road just south of the Karon view point, on the road from Kata to Rawai, that goes down the hill toward the water. If you take that road, Sabai Corner is near the end. Here's the location on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/1vWi76Dbaqv Menu includes Thai and European food. Medium priced, by Phuket standards.

KarenBravo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thanks for that. Obviously changed (maybe people kept pointing it out?). Looking at the picture, Happy Days roast is better and it's only 290 Bt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found the tables well set out and (for Asia) very well spaced. Kim's food is excellent and the atmosphere and views are great. Service very good. Be aware Sundays are yachting days and you may find yourself inundated by animated hoards noisily discussing the day's events on the water..

Most Yacht Clubs I've visited worldwide present the vision of glamour even luxury, and I am prepared to pay for that. This PYC is on a little road behind an abandoned building under construction (at least it was last time I looked) and on eventual arrival at the club it's hardly glamarous. Scruffy or shabby were my thoughts when I sought this place out on 2 previous occasions. Must admit that was a number of years ago and on pag's recommendation I will give Happy Days a miss and drive on to PYC for lunch very soon. To be honest I miss the days when Jimmy ran the Lighthouse. In my opinin gone downhill with the last 2 operators. Again I have not been back to Lighthouse for a few years. Happy Days has been my regular eatery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
