Gaybutton Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Many of you are probably familiar with the Oz bar in Jomtien. The owners have closed the Oz bar and reopened at the beach, under the name Bondi. It's certainly a much easier to get to location. The new Bondi Bar is on the walkway that begins at the 7-Eleven, heading toward the gay beach area. It's just past the 7-Eleven, directly in front of the car park area at which all the motorcycles park. If you are headed towards the gay beach area and walk as far as the TMB exchange booth-ATM, you missed it. Bondi is a strong supporter of Thais-4-Life. A selection of Thais-4-Life books is available there. Food and drink is served, beginning with breakfast. They open for breakfast at 8:00am. Prices are reasonable. You can get a breakfast of two eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee for 90 baht. Drink prices are mostly 90 baht as well. Gin and Tonic - 90 baht. Glass of red wine - 95 baht. Bondi has retained the popular Quiz Night that attracted many to the Oz bar. That is done on the last Sunday of each month. They begin at 9:30pm, although I'd recommend getting there no later than shortly after 9:00pm if you expect to get a good table, especially if you are there with a group. You can play as a team, join a team, or play individually. Each player is expected to donate 100 baht to Thais-4-Life. The team with the most points gets a bottle of whiskey. The team with the least number of points gets a "booby prize." About halfway through the quiz the staff comes around to each table with an offering of finger sandwiches. Those are free. No extra charge to take your fill of finger sandwiches. The quiz is done by handing out to each table a clipboard with several sheets of paper on which to write the quiz answers. Make sure you bring a pen or pencil with you. There are several quiz categories, ten questions each. Your team gets to pick one category that will yield double points. A moderator calls out the questions and your team tries to come up with the answers. Between each category, the answer sheets are collected and scored. The answers and the team that scored the most points are announced before the next category of questions begins. The quiz begins at 9:30pm and it's usually over around 11:30pm. Everybody seems to greatly enjoy the Quiz Night and there are several groups of regulars who show up for it. My group had a wonderful time, except for one thing . . . we lost. Quote
