Its built on the land where dons cafe was on Sai Yuan rd Rawai
Very popular with single male expats, has about 10 TV's for watching sports, good range of beers including Lao, also ciders and all types of spirits
Excellent range of Thai and western food at reasonable prices
Worth a try if you are in the area and it has plenty of parking avaliable for customers
i remember Don's cafe
hadn't thought of that place for 20 years but was great breakfast spot
also don had a great "order in advance " thanksgiving dinner..
Don battles was a really nice person, he put on all you can eat buffets for about 300 baht plus drinksQuote:

He shifted to Chang Mai and had a fish farm last i heard, i hope it was successful, he deserves it
Same Don Battles that was involved with aerospace kinda stuff? If it is, he's doing fine from what I see. Interesting fellow.
Same personQuote:

They are short of staff at present same as most places when the high season starts, everyone wants staff that speak good English which are hard to find and they get good offers from other businesses, only way to keep good staff is to pay them well all the year round, a good short order cook who can cook both Thai and western food is essential as well when catering for expat/Thai couples which no business is catering for at present
Gone down-hill since the American couple that started the place sold to an Aussie bloke. Food isn't as good and there are lady-boy bar tenders.
Foods OK in my opinion compared to other businesses in the area but their Thai food is expensive compared to other restaurants in the areaQuote:
