Taste of Thailand

By


The 'Taste of Thailand' is a small bar situated on Soi X-Zyte in the city of Pattaya in Thailand. This 'Deliciously Different' bar is placed between the Jit Massage Parlor and the Soi's only telephone box. It is not difficult to find and just a ten minute walk from Beach Road, a minute from Soi Bukhao and two minutes from Soi Honey.

Soi X-Zyte may be a little off the beaten track but the bar is very close to Pattaya's one and only Bowling Green. Any motorcycle taxi knows the whereabouts of X-Zyte as this is Pattaya's largest and noisiest Disco.

Chicken Soup

Taste of Thailand  serves the most delicious Thai (Isaan) Food from mid morning till late evening. It is very popular with local working girls and many will order their meals a day in advance. This allows the freshest ingredients to be purchased in the morning.

All food is FRESH and purchased from the market daily and prepared as you order. If you want real unforgettable Thai food then place your order on your visit and return the following day to eat. Remember, Isaan food can be very spicy so state your preferance.

If English food is your preference then the choice is limited to Chicken Soup but it is the most delicious chicken soup in the world. Customers return time and again for it. This is Chicken Soup for the body and soul. Chicken Soup to remember.

Nights and Days at Taste of Thailand

Yaa Dong

'Taste of Thailand' formerly specialised in Thai Whiskey (Yaa Dong) though a range of beers, spirits and soft drinks was and are available.

Yaa Dong is very popular amongst Thai's but quickly becomes a favourite of Westerners who give it a try. The whiskey is served in small glasses along with a glass of 'special' water and a tasty berry snack. It is very cheap. Each glass costs as little as 10 Thai Baht.

Sadly many tourists believe they have tried Thai Whiskey when they order it in a bar. They are usually served a Thai Rum, which is completely different. For the REAL Thai Whiskey try Yaa Dong in the Taste of Thailand.

Note: Taste of Thailand no longer stocks Yaa Dong but it could be ordered in on request.

Customers

The clientele of Taste of Thailand is a mixed bag of very friendly people, from local working girls, taxi drivers and people of all ages and nationalities.

You are always assured of a welcome in the Taste of Thailand.
