River View Restaurant - Pathum Thani
Sawadee khap my puan puan khun Thai and farangutan friends. After a few days away in Sangkhla Buri and Kanchanaburi we made our way back home. We had an interesting night at The Resort in Kanchanaburi. What is this place? Is it a classy restaurant with live music or an upmarket girlie bar? Is it a bit of both? You have waitresses and hostesses. The waitresses are appropriately dressed, and the hostesses are all in short skirts, with their nom prominently on display. They hang around single guys or groups of men giggling and what have you. I have seen groups turned away because they may have a child with them. That, by the way, includes anyone under 21 years of age as we discovered when we tried to get in with our Thai nephew when he was 18 years old. We were turned away twice with him.
We also had an issue with booze. We ordered a small bottle of Regency. The waitress poured our drinks and The Na'ster noticed that there wasn't a lot of alcohol in her drink and that it was mostly soda. When I looked round, we were on Jamerson's and NOT regency. We called the hostesses who had taken our initial order and she started pulling her face because they would take the money for the Jamerson's out of her wages. Sorry, but tough! It was her mistake. That was my opinion on it. The Jamerson's costs considerably more than a half bottle of regency. Na'ster, however, has a softer heart than I and decided to let it go and pay for the bottle of Jamerson's. She wasn't happy when she found out that we had to pay for the soda on top of the whisky as it was supposed to be included in the promotion!
Anyhow, we decided we wouldn't go to The Resort again. We'll see!
We needed some food on the way home and decided to stop on the Pathum Thani side of the Chao Phraya. We didn't find the restaurant we went to last time - it's on the channel - but we did find the River View Restaurant. A bit of a hidden gem. Nothing over the top or fancy. Quite vintage in style and small. The food was great. We had several prawn dishes, all nice and fresh. I couldn't find anything online at first. I asked ChatGPT and it gave me an address:
ร้านบ้านริมน้ำ River View, 55/8 Thanon Tad Bomrong, Bang Kadi, Pathum Thani.
They don't have a website. If you put this in to maps or an AI search, you should be able to find the place.

      Cheers. Well, NYE is celebrated more than Christmas. You'll see Happy New Year everywhere with all the Christmas trees and Santa, but Christmas is hardly mentioned. Probably as it is a Buddhist country. Your average Thai person would not know the Christmas story. You also have to remember that NY is not the Thai NY. Thai NY is in April, Songkran, and relates to Buddha.

      @ourmaninbangkok2431 Před 9 měsíci

      Hi. I haven't been in June or July. I normally go in December or April, but I did some research: The weather in Koh Chang during June and July is characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity. According to the data from Holiday Weather and Weather Atlas, June is one of the wettest months of the year in Koh Chang, with an average rainfall of 502 mm spread over 13 days. The probability of rainfall occurring ranges between 61% and 66%, which is almost as high as it ever gets on the island. Visitors should expect to experience thunderstorms and moderate rain, occurring respectively on 42% and 40% of those 13 rainy days. Light rain might be seen as well; heavy rain is possible, but quite unlikely. The weather is humid, with temperatures averaging about 26.5°C (80°F) in the afternoon and 23°C (73°F) at night. July is similar to June in terms of weather conditions, with heavy rainfall experienced during the month. The average rainfall in July is slightly less than that of June, totaling at 25.9 inches per month 1. Visitors should expect to experience thunderstorms and moderate rain, occurring respectively on 42% and 40% of those 13 rainy days 2. The weather is humid, with temperatures averaging about 27°C (81°F) in the afternoon 2. I hope this information helps you plan your trip accordingly.@@camwells9726
