I'll be in Pattaya throughout December and would love to hear the views of other members on the current best value and safe eating outlets in south Pattaya and Jomtien. In particular I'm interested in steak houses, good Chinese restaurants and good quality buffets for lunch or dinner that some of the Bangkok hotels offer. Equally some of the ex-pat owned bars and restaurants are excellent. I recall one in particular buffet offering near the Louis Pasteur snake farm in Bangkok in the 90s (was it called Pan Pacific??) that had an excellent buffet offering hot and cold Asian and International dishes. Do any of the Pattaya hotels offer the same I wonder?
Many thanks in anticipation of your recommendations.
