Gaybutton Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 If you are looking for a good, and very inexpensive buffet, you might want to try the LK Kitchen on Soi Buakao in Pattaya. I've been there with friends several times, and we really like it. There is a small salad bar, a fresh fruit bar, two soup selections, garlic bread, five or six Thai food selections, five or six 'farang food' selections, spaghetti bolognese, and even a barbeque grill where you can order large prawns, all you want, along with various satays and kebobs. The 'farang food' dishes usually include beef, chicken, pork, and fish selections. The selections change nightly. They also include potatoes, white rice, and fried rice. There is even a wonderful coffee machine that dispenses choices such as cappuccino, cafe latte, cafe mocha, hot chocolate, a couple other coffees, and even plain old coffee! The coffees are good too. I don't know how they do it. How much for all this? Would you believe 189 baht? Incredible. They also serve a breakfast buffet for 125 baht, although none of us have tried it yet. Getting there is easy. As you can see from the map below, the restaurant is located at the LK Suite hotel, very close to the Central Road (Pattaya Klang) side of of Soi Buakao. Probably the easiest way to get there is to take a baht bus or motorcycle taxi down Soi Buakao (That's the first intersection past Center Condo, heading toward Sukhumvit Highway. Left is the only direction you can turn.) You won't miss the hotel. It will be on the right side. Their trees and shrubs are decked out in an array of small lights that resemble Christmas lights. On the other side of their soi, heading toward Central Road, there's a Family Mart. If you get as far as Central Road, you went too far and will need to backtrack by a block or two. We really enjoy it there. For 189 baht, you can't beat it! Quote
Guest Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 They also serve a breakfast buffet for 125 baht, although none of us have tried it yet. I have not seen too many breakfast buffets in Pattaya except for the big hotels. I think the Marriott charged me 600 baht a head for its morning buffet. Other than LK Kitchen, do you know of other breakfast buffets? Quote
Gaybutton Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Other than LK Kitchen, do you know of other breakfast buffets? The Lek Hotel, across the street from Villa Market, has an inexpensive breakfast buffet. The quality had gone downhill, but I'm hearing it has become good again, although I haven't tried it myself yet. The Diana Inn also has an inexpensive breakfast buffet, but it's been a good three years since I last tried it. The breakfast buffet at the Hard Rock Hotel has gotten good reviews. I understand the Areca Lodge, on Soi Diana Inn, also has a good breakfast buffet. Other than those and the major hotels, I'm not aware of any. Quote
