Best Pubs for Farang

Post by Marco75 »

Hi All,

Semi moving to Hua Hin for 6 weeks to see if the lifestyle, retirement style suits me.As few friends live already and recommended it, but are house cats and food markets generally their external walks

Just be interested to know what are the most pleasant places to watch live sports? Predominantly English premier league Just a bar you can casually chat, without being asked every 5 mins 'buy me drink handsome man' wanna play connect 4 etc, heard soi . Just a normal bar / pub.
Have lived out here for 4 years and can speak average thai

Since nobody has responded, I'll have a stab. Not sure about EPL specifically but Cheers Bar on Soi 94 is one of my regulars. It has a lot of screens and plays most major sporting events.

If you're south of the town. I can recommend 'The Pink Elephant' on Soi 112. Large bar with an 86" Qled screen. There are girls there but you won't be bothered.

My favourite, using the OP's wants list is Father Teds. IMHO it ticks all of the boxes.

Father Ted's used to put a blackboard outside during the day saying which EPL, rugby, etc. matches they would be showing. As I'm a 'house cat' I didn't go recently but imagine they still do. Multiple screens, central location and good food, but live music some nights, if you like that sort of thing. Check their Facebook page for the live entertainment dates.

Several bars in Soi 94 is farang friendly. To name a few: Friendly, Le Pub, Cheers, Fame, Tonic & Ginger +++ Just wander around and take in the atmosphere and try some out for yourself.

What is that about?
1. The thread is about best bars (plural) to watch sport.
2. There are several places that fits the bill.
3. IMO the 'Pink Elephant' ticks the boxes. Full size pool table. Large TV screen. Food available.

I've lived here for 25 years and the Pink Elephant has been my local since it opened. There's been a couple of name changes and owners but I've always found it pleasant.

Indeed! I'd always enjoy the pubs in that neck of the woods. Had a pint or two with yourself in the area if memory serves me. :laugh:
