AUGUST 26
Woke up…checked out of and headed to . (hell of a story by the way…I’d love to have a beer with Chaucer). Checked into room. Safe didn’t work…told lady at desk, she said no problem, call boss. So me and J headed to the “hole in the wall” on soi Buakhao and had a massive fucking meal for 290 baht. I had a giant singha and then a small one, the biggest bowl of Thai green curry I’ve seen over here w/rice, and she had 2 Thai meals. After that we hit the massage place . Foot for me, oil for her. 1 hour of relaxations for 300 baht.
After we hit up the room for a few boombooms. Later on we decided to go to the little Volkswagon van on soi buakhao. They have them everywhere, but I’ve always steered clear of ’em. Until the other day when she told me that you could grab a bucket full of alcohol for 100 baht. Not quite…230 baht, but still a deal compared to gogos n shit. We had 2 buckets…mostly me drinking…didn’t take too long for me to get tipsy. After we headed to Liquid Lounge where I played pool for a little bit.
After enough drinks I had the great idea of going to soi 7 to play pool with one of the mamasans. If I won, she would pay my bin…if she won, I’d ring the bell. Yes…I’m retarded. Of course she won and I forked over the cash and took the walk of shame to the bell. Not soon after we headed back to the room. I was fucked up by now, but J was even worse off. I’m not sure how it happened, but we ended up arguing about something. Basically she was being irate and fucking stupid. I kept telling her to shut the fuck up. I ended up just telling her to get the fuck out of my place so I could sleep. She went nuts, but finally left.
So…after she left I went back on the prowl. I have no clue where I went except that I’d called a few girls up. I only know this because I woke up to a ton of angry messages and missed calls. Whoops, “I was drunk last night” is about the only thing I could say. I’m half assed pissed now and about to head out on the town. I’m booking this room the entire trip next time. I haven’t had the chance to try Dave’s famous breakfast yet, but I will soon.

I stay at the Canterbury Tales Cafe & find it one of the best run guest house in Pattaya, the rooms are clean and well designed with everything working, the free Wifi was fast, the safe worked perfectly, the food was very good for the price and all in all the place is great value.
I am booked in again in a few weeks, the banter with the regulars is great fun and the bookshop 2nd to none in Pattaya.
Yes this place is good place, I like rooms here and also have book from Norway, many many many book
I have just been staying at Canterbury Tales Cafe and love the idea of the discreet back door for sneaking in and out away from prying eyes, quite a nice touch considering some of the sorts I wake up with.
Great location, nice priced clean rooms, fast wifi, strong room safe and big TV and dvd player for those motivational videos.
I am back there in January so cant wait.

Harry I thought you were a Happy Hammer, well an unhappy one, Yes Canters and Dave go well in Pattaya, you always know when a place is good when the competitors slag it off all the time.
