It doesn’t matter if you’re from North or South of
Watford in the Queen Victoria Inn (Soi Yodsak 6) as every
Saturday you have a choice of either pie, mash and liquor for you
Eastender fans or if you’re more inclined towards Coronation Street it’s
pie, chips, beans or mushy peas and gravy, both are followed by ice cream and
both for only 140 baht. A great value meal to sit and watch Saturday sport on
the big screen and 5 TVs. As with all other bars, Queen Victoria Inn has lost
Carlsberg Draught; however, they now have an alternative, along with Heineken
they now have Chang Draught, almost the same taste as Carlsberg, from the same
brewery and at a far lower price. So for 100 baht a pint Changberg, as they
have nicknamed it, is “probably the best lager in town.” Email:
