dream place..

was exploring but no lb bar there....around Chris massage many bars with some lbs https://goo.gl/maps/rFVBajrn1fgZvtJa6 The owner of my hotel told me that many lbs in Phuket ( Patong ) are the worst...stealing everything they can... but as said before i was with my lb..( jeaulous )...no had much time to explore... she was really annoyed because everyone was looking at her..had some problems never experienced before in Thailand...she always yak yak with people looking too much at her ( in Thailand considered as an offence ) i guess patong is to avoid about lbs..too much marketd..but going outside..maybe it is worth ( if You like swimming the best place i've seen ) my bar 3 is definitely a good place..not expensive and not pushy. Bangla...to ovoid... i strongly suggest kata night market for food...the best i've ever had in Thailand in 10 years

And at Nicky's Bar on Soi Buakhao, Cereal, Full English Breakfast, big mug of Coffee or Tea (plus a refill) This was the normal breakfast but they also do a Big Breakfast, very good value imho Mint

Interesting. Thanks, sustra. So no LB-bars inside soi paradise? Didn't care much for Bangla or soi croc. I loved Phuket with its surroundings, but its a long time ago now. Didn't make it to Kata though. Thanks for the update!

This was my breakfast at SImple Simon's

Thailand Is Being Too Good for Its Own Good Thailand really should let its hair down. The currency is strong and the current-account surplus is big versus the neighborhood, while there's a lot of scope for fiscal expansion. The Bank of Thailand has been grudging in cutting interest rates, in contrast to the easing party under way not just in Asia but in emerging and developed markets the world over. Two decades ago, a perky currency would have been a great problem to have. Today, the baht's strength masks an array of problems, some of them distinctly first world in nature. Inflation is virtually non-existent; consumer prices rose just 0.3% from a year earlier in September. Productivity is low and wages are high for the region. Thailand’s aging population means it resembles Japan and South Korea more than Malaysia, the Philippines or Indonesia. Unemployment is low, in part because the labor force is shrinking. Thailand’s politics are also looking old. The military has staged two takeovers since 2006 in the ongoing feud against the populist former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, and his partisans. A long-delayed election in March that extended coup leader Prayuth Chan-Ocha’s tenure as prime minister is a throwback to the era of military-dominated politics that South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines learned to leave behind. https://www.yahoo.com/news/thailand-being-too-good-own-032343305.html

Simple Simons has a good breakfast for 130 baht. The sausage and bacon were high quality. Don't know if the beans were Heinz but they do sell cans of Heinz beans there. What I like best is that it comes with a mug of a coffee and a free refill. The mug has about twice as much coffee as other brekkie joints so with the refill that's four times as much coffee. So if you want to linger over a second cup while reading the Bangkok Post, Simple Simons is a good choice. ========================================= There's a joint named Harry House a couple shops away from the Family Mart by the Tuesday/Friday market. They have coffee and a croissant for 49 baht. Much cheaper than Benjamit. After 5PM, croissants are only 10 baht and they have various types such as chicken filled etc.
