“The Bangkok floods have now disappeared and we hope for no reoccurrence this year. Thank you for your support during the floods. With your help thousands of animals were saved!

Khun Ruen spends 7 days a week selflessly caring for the dogs at Phuttamonthon. Will you help Khun Ruen to keep fulfilling her promise to the animals in her care? Please consider helping Khun Ruen by donating to the Phuttamonthon Shelter appeal today and help these now all but forgotten dogs.”

“Pattaya travelers beware! P72 Hotel in Pattaya Thailand are now scammers. Cracking down on late checkout customers and charging them for a FULL DAY for late checkout only by couple hours.

Picture of the P72 room

I’ve stayed in over 300 hotels in my life, in 25 different countries and this was the first time I’ve every experienced anything like this.

I’ve been to Pattaya many times, and stayed in P72 hotel on Walking Street many times, and never have a problem. But this day, around March 12th, I checkout at 3pm, and the front desk representative insist that I need to pay full price, we have an argument and I told them I’ll never stay there again, and he laughed and said “up to you, do what you want” in a very cocky and smug attitude.”

What I Ate: I ate the Hippo Burger Classic, With ratatouille cheese sauce & peppercorn sauce, this comes with choice of 2 sides, I have french fries and veggies. Also we ordered the appetizer combo with spring rolls, some bbq chicken wings, fried calamaris, and some fried potato & cheese things. The burger may have been 1 of the best tasting cheeseburgers I’ve eaten in Thailand. It was delicious and everything else was great too. I love the sauces! Prices for burger platters were about 350 – 400 baht.
The Staff: The staff was nice and friendly, always smiling. There was also a live band playing some soft rock songs, all English language songs.

Bangkok Burger Co. is definitely a great choice for anyone in the mood for a true American style, American sized cheeseburger or specialty burger in Thailand.

The Menu: Find your favorite gourmet burgers here at Bangkok Burger Company. They have many rare types of burgers like The Sgt. Pepper, The Good Fella, The Carbonnara, The Aussie Burger, The Triple Cheese, The Gastro, The Yankee, The Cajun Chicken, The Philly Steak, The Swiss Burger, The Falafel, The Reggae Reggae, and many more! Also there are lots of side orders, salads and many drinks too. They also say “we use only prime cuts of aged charolais beef in our secret burger recipe” and also “our freshly made buns are served straight from our baker’s oven for that famous bbc taste!”
What I Ate: I ordered the Bacon Cheese Large. The burger was probably the thickest and fattest beef patty I’ve eaten in Bangkok. So the beef portion was huge, but I’ve tasted better burgers. The side order comes with steak fries, very rare to find in Thailand, and these were very delicious. I ordered an extra side order of baked beans for 37 baht, and this was the smallest portion of any dish I’ve seen in my life.
