Entertainment

Pattaya’s latest English style pub is now open on Soi Yodsak (6). When you walk through the doors of The Lord Nelson, you are in fact taking a step back in time. The decor is all things nautical from brass lamps and fittings to pictures of Nelson and his ship H.M.S. Victory. The bar is serving all your favourite drinks at sensible prices along with soup and bar snacks. Upstairs the nautical theme continues in the rooms but with nice comfortable beds rather than hammocks! All rooms have air-con and fan, cable TV, DVD, fridge and are provided with free tea and coffee. So me old shipmates, sail on down Soi 6, pop in and ask for Bosons Mate Ray and have a drink, a game of pool or darts or just a yarn at the bar.
