Low end Thai restaurants; part two
Well today on my visit into the wilds of the Pattaya countryside I decided to stop off for a snack, now this place looks quite classy, nice proper wood tables etc, flowers and plants everywhere, yep nice place to take a small wife.
Anyway here is the entrance to the place.

Pattaya Cheap Thai Restaurants
This bargain place may look like a bit of a shack but the food is ok, it is on Soi Thepprasit near the Jomtien end of the road, they have probably spent a lot of time and money to deck it out to look like a corrugated iron shack.

The chef doing what chefs do best, making my Pad Kapprow.

They only have 2 tables so it maybe a good idea to make a reservation.

They also sell loads of everyday type of stuff like petrol and that.

Pork noodle soup in Pattaya
Yet again the old pork noodle soup, this place wasn't as good as the one above, bit more meat but bloody a whole 25 baht, this was more your watery bowl of water with chilli powder in it unfortuneatly, I mean I don't mind it like that but I do like the old broth from the boiled pork dish chucked in there, anyway this is on Soi Theprassit by the old Soi 17 which is now called Soi8 for some reason.

Banglamung Thai noodle shop
Yesterday I had to take my car to Banglamung to have a dent filled due to some idiot backing into it while it was parked outside my place, both the insurance assessor and the body shop demanded to see my driving license, why the fok they would want to see a driving license I have no idea, when I asked them they also had no idea, anyway, once they finally got it into their thick skulls that one does not need a driving license to own a parked car, and also that the car was not in my name they gave up on that idea, pretty dumb some of the natives, also got them to respray my bumper aswell as I blamed the damage on that was done by the idiot who backed into my car :) shall pick it up next week :)
Anyway Banglamung is about 8 kms from Jomtien, ie you go Jomtien, Pattaya, Naklua and then your there, poxy long way just to get a dent filled, so I decided whilst waiting to be picked up I would try some of the more local style noodle soup, as this is quite a way out of Pattaya it's only 20baht per bowl, but you got to remember the locals eat fat and gristle and don't mind the odd bone or insect in with their food, I was quite suprised as there was none of that sort of stuff, I think it is because it is opposite the CholChan hotel so they get lots of farangs who have turned their noses up in the past at stuff like that, all in all pretty damn good and a bargain price :)

A bbq catfish and chicken stall that was also outside, got to admit I was quite tempted by the chicken, the fish still had their heads and eyeballs though :(

The noodle soup shop also sold fish paste sandwiches, probably the most disgusting thing one could ever wish to eat, not only is the bread the worst in the world I doubt if the fish paste contains any edible parts of fish in it :(

Thepprasit noodle soup shop
Thousands of noodle soup restaurants in Pattaya and Jomtien and I still haven't been to them all on Soi Theprasit, this one is quite nicely done out, some of them on this Soi I wouldn't even venture into, this is right at the end by Sukhumvit Road, there are about 6 of them together, and after about 2pm they all close for the day, yep they make enough money in the morning and lunch that they don't even bother opening for the evening, can't be bad when your selling stuff for less than a dollar a head :)

Quality proper wooden tables, also you get the choice of bottled water which you have to pay for, or water out of that jug which is for free, never tried free water in a Thai restaurant before, but I assume it won't kill you otherwise they would be lacking in customers.

My chicken noodle soup, bit watery but okay for 25baht.
