I'll have to to get in and try some. The food was always excellent in Faultys but after drinking the draught Heineken in the Irish bars I gave it up as a bad job.

Mmmm.. No disrespect meant but its not what I consider a pub to be.. A pub to me is an enclosed area, Not an open one, A bit of live music at night, Good grub, And more times than not has the footy on a big screen... Nor would I class the Islander a pub either, Both are more like Bar/Restaurants.. And both good places in there own right...

My bad, I misunderstood what you were saying...

I tell you were there is a good pub, The Dubliner in Bangkok is a real Pub...

Also Shenanigans on Second Rd and the Killkenny on Walking St are good also!!

I will have to Check You Out

Sorry Faulty

I have been to Phuket for almost 20 years but I have never been to Your Bar,

I have spent many a late night at the Ex Pat eating beans on toast and watching movies like the Cannonball Run.

I must try a bit harder and come and look you up.

Best Wishes


Drew

I remember reading that in an online magazine or something a few months back.....Now that we are in high season, is it 24 hours again or is that gone forever?? No late night movies is bad, Bad, BAD!

Last time I was at the Expat (Songkran 2K5) i gave my copy of a stephen leather book to someone...a HHH member i think. Just wondering if you know who thats likely to be as I have read the entire collection (i think) since and would be happy to move them someone's way who may find them useful.

I second that Marc26.

Stopped in a couple of times, my last visit to Patt's. (Sunday roast, my last night in town)

I definitely like the feel of Faulty's, in Patong.

"Normal"??? service is back on for high season .

As for the book , it has probably passed through about a dozen pair of hands and ended up in Faultytowers Bar. A lot of the guys bring books over and when they've finished with them leave them in the bar for others to read , basically there is a mini "lending library".
I am sure Crusty and the guys would appreciate any "new" reading material , if there are any specific requests , I usually bring them over when on holiday.

Just so you know, For the next time..

If you come out of the Sportmans, Turn right and head upto Second Rd..

When you get there, Turn right heading in the direction of say Walking St..

Continue walking for about 3/4 minutes and you cannot miss this place on your right hand side...

Its big...5555555..
