Are you sure its Fish & Chips that they sell in that place? :shock: :?

We have a very good map on here that took a lot of effort to produce: any chance of a grid reference, please? :cheers:

Are you sure that the directions are not a complete wind up? :twisted: Doesn't sound like a good place to open a retail outlet to me - don't think they'll be trying to catch any passing trade.

Big Boy, it is, or was, a very small one man or family owned operation. Not exactly a tourist spot but catering to the fish and chips connoisseur; a low budget operation with a great product.

I called the owner and the place is indeed in operation (lunch and dinner) again at Browne's Guesthouse, wherever that is. I will find it because as I said when I started this thread, they make the best fish and chips I've ever had in Thailand so it's worth the effort even thought I live on the extreme other end of town (south towards Pranburi).

And don't think just because I'm not British I don't know good fish and chips. I'm well traveled among the pubs of England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand where I ate mostly fish and chips (cause I love 'em!) and this place does them right. Everyone (including Americans, Brits, Canadians, and Australian friends) I sent to the previous location agreed with that opinion.

I'll be finding it again this week sometime and then I'll provide precise directions.

I don't think anybody is suggesting that.

Precise directions would be useful - if for nothing else, to compare them with lovethailand's directions.

It still seems strange that he'd locate a retail outlet away from the crowds - still, I suppose if the product is good enough, people will travel to find it.

Go out towards Cha Am from the Non operating traffic lights (away from town) for about 500 metres you then past the Yellow Bridge where the Arsenal is and then take the next bridge. Over the bridge to your right you'll see Stand Online Internet Cafe once over the bridge turn Left then take next left up a gravel road Brownes is the first building on the Left about 100 Metres from the Junction.
Ok, I went there today for lunch... The directions above given by lovethailand are good except that when you go over the bridge, make an immediate left and then the next right on the gravel road, not left. Another left would put you into the canal.

So, heading north on the canal road from the non-working traffic light (which is the intersection of soi 56 and the canal road) you will see a bright yellow bridge. Pass that one and turn left over the next bridge (which is pale yellow and white) and goes directly into Karat Village (big sign over the entrance). Once across the bridge, don't continue on into Karat Village but turn left immediately along the west side of the klong and take the next soi (gravel) to the right. Brownes guest house is a little more that 100 meters on the left but not much. They only have a very small sign but it is the first nice looking two story house you come to.

They still have the same great fish and chips that was at the other location plus there were several Brits there eating breakfast and lunch. The breakfast also looked great and the ham and bacon sandwiches for lunch looked good as well.

The guest house is nice as well and all rooms are en suite, have A/C, large refrigerators, and room safes and the prices start at only 500 baht per night. It is kind of out of the way in a quiet neighborhood (where a lot of this forum's members and moderators live), but they have rental cars and motorbikes as well making it easy to stay there and still get around.

hhfarang.

Can you say if this place is within walking distance of the Clock Tower - or how far is it.

Have had the fish and chips in the previous place and would like to visit the new place when Im next in Hua Hin.

It appears to be a lot further out than where it was.

Thanks.

About 2-3 kilometers I'd say. Enough to work up an appetite!
This is the way

Thanks for that.

Yes 2 to 3 is a little too much for me I think especially in the hot humid weather you get in Hua Hin.
