Flemish and Dutch catering industry (restaurants and bars) in Pattaya, Jomtien and Naklua
In Naklua, Jomtien and Pattaya you will find a surprising mix of Dutch and Flemish restaurants, perfect for expats and tourists looking for a piece of home in tropical Thailand. From cozy pubs with bitterballen and Heineken to Belgian beers and Flemish fries, these places offer a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy European comfort, with the warm beaches of Pattaya in the background.
Belgian blond beer brewed in Thailand
The Cosmos Brewery, part of ThaiBev, has launched a craft beer called Huntsman Belgian Blonde. Belgian? Brewed in Thailand? Well, I had to know more about that, because as a Dutchman I am all too often referred to the excellent beers of our southern neighbors.
After a total of 7 months in Hua Hin, I have not found a single drinking establishment where you can drink Stella from the barrel. The only Belgian draft beer I found was Hoegaarden and this in the “Engine house” at the entrance of Hua Hin Market Village.
events take place. One of these is the Hops Fest 2018, a party organized by the Thai-Belgian/Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, where the emphasis will be on several Belgian beers, such as Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, La Chouffe, Duvel and Leffe.
