After last week's Sushi on Wheels post, a friend of mine recommended a street Sushi restaurant, on 3rd Road, on the left, approaching Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya Road).

Tested it with Gilles, both enjoyed it. When Paul and Sylvie visited the week after, it was worth a return trip. Enjoyed by all.

We ate as much as we could, and even left one or two pieces. Total cost about eight euros per head..

No alcohol sold on the premises, but you can bring in beer or wine from the 7/11 store just along the road, and they'll give you glasses.

Very pleasant staff. I think I'll be there pretty often...

Following on from the previous post, I had to add my Sushi man. Each piec e at 10 baht, so a little box of ten, (and then he added a free one), cost about 2.50 euros !

Although there are some great shops in the Malls that are within walking distance, we have many shops that come to us !

And that's just a few !

  
7 ELEVEN
  7 Eleven, open 24 hours a day. Sells everything that you don't need, and thankfully some things that you do. Booze, beer, condoms, toothbrushes, pot noodles...

YING'S COFFEE STAND

Still outside the 7 Eleven, you'll find the beautiful  Ying or her daughter serving great espressos, cappuccinos and all sorts of things coffee.
Also have some brandy on the back shelf.
Great place for people watching. they have a couple of tables behind for the old 'uns.

MONBO BAR
Bar and guesthouse owned by Mon
from Thailand and her husband Bo from Manchester.
Great fun, friendly girls, and a great
Killer Pool Night every Monday at 7pm.

DENTAL CLUB
If you need some cosmetic
dental surgery, make an
appointment with one of the
professionals.

TUM MASSAGE AND SPA

Highly recommended massage parlour.
This is professional massage, no naughty business.
Downstairs for head, shoulder or foot massage,
and upstairs rooms for Thai, oil, aroma and other
massages.

PATTAYA REALTY
If you want to buy a residential or
commercial property in Pattaya use these guys.
I did.

JAMJUREE RESTAURANT
Once again, happy to mention
our friends opposite at the Jamjuree.
Never disappointed here.
Great Thai Food at great prices.
Can order from us, and they'll
send over.
Pay them direct.

It's rainy season here in Pattaya, and although it doesn't rain every day, when it does, it really comes down.
We are lucky to be one of the places on high ground. The restaurant opposite had water to their knees, but they were open again the next day....

After two months of fitting out, we finally opened. We had our very first customer stay with us two nights before we actually opened, but he loved the place and insisted ! He has actually been back on two other occasions, and even popped in on my birthday with some very nice Thai wine. Thanks Yuji.

We have now been open over a month and we are very happy with the way things are going. I say "we" because I am now with my girlfriend, who has been a great help sharing the work and responsibilities. It really is very hard setting up in Thailand, and to have somebody you can trust by your side, it helps..
("Fool !" .......I can hear you all shout.... but time will tell.)

The guest house has been busy, with many people staying on well after their initial days booked. Thanks to our longest staying guest, Alex C, a very nice gent who came for one night and stayed three weeks.
And to Jim, P John, Ludovic, Peter, Sean, Philip, Philippe, The Garden and our other customers who stayed for shorter times. Your positive compliments meant so much to us.

Yuji and a friend  The first ever customer at The Hideaway !
