The Pig and Whistle has come to Jomtien and apart from being a disaster for my waistline, it’s a very welcome addition. They are gay friendly and just outside the Complex (three shops towards the beach from the second entrance), but aren’t really a gay place. The hosts are all girls and very much so. The bar itself is smaller than its counterpart in Pattaya, and they have three TVs with sports on them. That gives me my only complaint – the sound from all three added together makes any one hard to hear, and makes conversation a tad difficult. But hey!

They are open from 8.30 am and have the full range of food from the Soi 7 branch. So gut busting breakfasts, amazing fish and chips and wonderful Sunday roasts have arrived.

The drinks are the right price and it’s one of the few places in the area that does good draft beer (including draft Guinness). If you want some sport, a pint and a great English meal, give it a try!
