The next in our series of lovely places to live in Pattaya. Soi 17 or Soi 8 as it is now known, this leads from Soi Theprasit, over Pattaya 3rd Road, and into South Pattaya.
So lets start off with the most important stuff first, birds, booze and food, we can get onto the boring stuff later.
The Eden Pub and Restaurant, this place is probably the longest running place for farang entertainment on Soi 17, or Soi 8, this is at one of the entrances to Suksabai Villa, if you have family with you then you want to drive inside a bit and enter through the garden as you probably don't want your kids to see old guys groping young Thai ladies in the bar area, the outside bit is a restaurant and bar and also has a swimming pool, it's actually quite nice, the restaurant is more German/Swiss orientated, but hell aint nothing wrong with boiled cabbage, believe it or not they actually eat other stuff aswell so the restaurant does normal stuff also.
The bar is the interesting bit, nice big well done out bar, aircon, music on pc, probably the only complaint is there isn't really enough pretty girls, still your only going to rent them for an hour or 2 so it aint that bad.
Liberty Mansion is owned by an Indian guy, they got nice rooms for rent there, they got a nice restaurant there, and they got the Lion Pub there, the Lion Pub is a short time bar, bit small and not really seedy and dirty enough for my tastes, got to have a bit of sleaze
The Caddyshack Inn Restaurant and Guesthouse, got to admit I have never been to this place, drove past it hundreds of times though, it does English and Thai food and has free wifi internet in the bar, also has rooms for rent for 750baht per night, this place is also on one of the entrances to Suksabai villa's.
Tomorrow is time to find the slum dwellings and the nice houses
