I Q Navarro and I will be in Dublin this weekend. Any recommendations? Boozers, restaurants and the like.

I thought Uncle Monty was a youngish female poster - am I wrong?

Uncle_Monty

Loved it. Bangkok is a surreal experience the first time around. Headed south to Ko Lanta which was very beautiful and peaceful. The folk there are awful nice. Going back again in December. Would recommend.

Becuase I am a lady I didn't frequent the "pussy writes with pen" bars - just shopped like a demon! Also went to a great bar "Sirocco" open air and fantastic view of Bangkok.

You going back to Ko Lanta or you gonna try elsewhere?

What you looking for?

Fine dining?
Traditional boozers?
A good chance of a bunk up?

You've got to have a couple in Temple Bar but I'd leave it at just a couple.

The Long Stone is a decent boozer up near Trinity College.

The Cellar Bar under Merrion Hotel (off St Stephens Green) is cracking - good for some teatime grub.

If you're feeling flash, Brownes Brasserie on the green is first class, but it's dear.

Johnnie Fox's is right out in the sticks - about 30 euro each way in a taxi, but worth checking what music they have on. Usually touristy but a good craic.

Cheggers is right - its a fucking dear do. I always go out in the country now and don't bother with the centre of Dublin itself.

My memories of being in Temple Bar before were that it was pretty full on mental.

Staying in a B&B off St Stephen's Green - bloody pricey for a hotel like!

There was a traditional boozer where a lot of newspaper folk went that was very good fun but can't remember what it was called and where it was for the life of me. Looking for a decent pint, nice scran and friendly people who fancy a chat. Will check out the Long Stone. Ta

l.q.navarro.

I can't go till sun morning. Take it the rest of em are off.

Reporting back from Dublin. Well the weather was atrocious. The plane I was on was hit by lightning, always comforting to see a ball of fire outside your window when you're thousands of mile up in the air.

Anyway - Navarro and I checked out the Long Stone (decent, good pint) and Toners. I had been to Toners before, a great boozer, nice gruff landlord and cracking whiskies. Also decent crisps - not Tayto - but a make called "Kings" - a superb crisp.

Also went to a place called Shebeens on Great George Street South. Shabby chic with a decent menu (boxty and the like) and lots of attractive men/women for Navarro and I to peruse/slobber over. Decent restaurants and pubs on this street, it's just off Dame Street at the bottom of Grafton Street (Trinity College end).

Didn't really bother with Temple bar. Walked around it on Saturday but the weather was so dreadful ended up in a hotel bar for a bit of respite. Also went to a decent pub Doheny and Nesbitts across from Toners. Checked out the Cellar Bar too - very nice.

Regarding Thailand: WortlyLS12. I didn't really get any taxi's in Bangkok. I walked or used the buses! The occasional tuk tuk and the skytrain.
