The Apex all u can eat breakfast at 110 baht is quite good.

Seems better than the breakfast at the Lek but my Apex visits were at 7 AM after footballgames whilemy Lek visit was near the 1PM closing time so that could have an impact on the freshness of the food.

Where is the Apex located?

[Beer Chang]

Apex is on the eastside of 2nd Road, near Soi Honey.

Thanks

[Beer Chang]

Your welcome LVD, enjoy! I always pig out too much though.

That's the inherent problem with buffets.

There is a good one in Jomtien. I can't recall the precise name of the hotel, Danemark Hotel, or something like that, but you can't miss it. Between Soi 7 and Soi 8 on Jomtien Beach road there is an unmarked soi. The yellow hotel sign is easily spotted on Jomtien Beach road. It is an open air restaurant all the way up the soi, on the right. If you get as far as the parking lot, you just passed it.

They have unlimited everything! Several different kinds of breads, Thai dishes, potatoes, bacon, Danish meatballs, several different kinds of cereals, an egg cook who will make all kinds of different omelets or eggs any style. They even let you cook your eggs yourself if you prefer. In their refrigerated case there are several different kinds of sliced ham, salami, cheese, a pickled fish that is quite similar to pickled herring, pate, and a couple different kinds of yogurt. You can choose whatever you want and eat it as is or you can have the omelet cook incorporate your choices into your omelet. They also have unlimited juice choices, coffee, and tea.

I don't know what time they open, but the breakfast goes on until about noon. They are open every day. The price is 160 baht. I think it is well worth a try.

That soi is known as Soi Whitehouse.

Yes! That's it. I couldn't remember the name. Have you tried the breakfast I'm talking about?

Not yet, I'll check it out the next time I go to Immigration in the AM. I'm a late riser.

Bar 54 at the beginning of Soi Whitehouse has happy hour until 9PM with 40 baht Singhas, Tigers, and Changs. It's much breezier than the other bars on the soi.

I am not fond of buffets. Not only because I tend to overeat, but sometimes find it all too easy to catch the diarrhea bug from food sitting out too long.

[Beer Chang]

Best to go to buffets as soon as it opens.

[Wino]

Or stay away.

That's what I usually do. With brekkie not too difficult cause I'm generally not awake in time.

The new year's resolution is to shed a few kilos. Better to stay away from the buffet and the many, delicious temptations.

[Beer Chang]

Yup, hard to resist going back for seconds even if we're not really hungry anymore.

Some people go back for seconds because they want to make sure they get their money's worth of food. For me, I like food and want to try everything on offer.

I think for most people it's about getting there money's worth as at a regular restaurant those pigging out would probably not order a second entree that they had to pay for.

I must be weird/unusual (hmmm....you don't all have to jump in and agree on that at once!). Restaurants in the US for the last decade or more seem to be having a contest to see how much food they can give you. When I go (rarely) to a buffet, I actually go and get less food than an average restaurant would have served me. Strange, maybe, but true.

Another good breakfast buffet is held at the Lek Hotel. 110 baht and is held from 7am to 1 pm.
