Finnish restaurant/guesthouse Maikan Majatalo Soi Yume

[jpmelville]

This one is for good food and huge portions and huge really means HUGE. They have a traditional Finnish dishes plus standard farang food(schnitzels, steaks, pastas, soups etc) and a large thai food menu. Prices are not the cheapest(but affordable), but the portions are really huge. For most of the farang food mains they have a warranty, if you finish your dish and still feel hungry, you can have the another portion for free.

 

It is located on Soi Yume couple of hundred meters of Pattaya Klang's Big C. You may think it's far away, but when you have finished your main, no problems walking to the crossroads of Pattaya Klang and Soi Buakhao(about 500m away) just to digest the amount of food you just ate.    Restaurant is open 7:30am till midnight.

 

Maikan Majatalo translates as Teacher's Guesthouse. It's a popular spot for the Finnish punters but also the other nationalities are finding it a fab place to be. If you want to eat, Thursday is not the best day to be there after 5pm. There is a quiz with a 130bht all you can eat buffet every Thursday on 7pm and it's packed full. You can also watch most of the European sports from their 84'' TV or participate a "killer" pool tournament.

 

If you're hungry and want to discover some new areas of Pattaya, make a visit there.

Rooms are 300-800bht/day or 7000-18000bht/month. I think it depends if it's on the high/low season and the size of the room. Better to ask from them directly if you're interested: [email protected]

 

I haven't been living in the guesthouse, only eating and having fun/watch the sports in the restaurant.

Ok thanks ,always good to hear about food/accommodation places off the beaten path or usual places.

If you like a cold smoked salmon. They have it too. There is a friend of the owner who does it. You can buy it and enjoy it. Not cheap but just delicious.

Damn jpmelville, was planning to do this also, but I've been too lazy.

 

For full menu (also in english)

Never had a bad meal there.

I specially like the Tex Mex chicken

Also the American Breakfast used to be very big portion & tasty.

 

There is also Finnish Sauna in the roof,

It is hot on saturdays 100b/person (free for guesthouse customers)

Saturdays they also do some barbeque on the roof terrace.

If you go to sauna better buy beers from downstairs before you go up since they

dont sell it upstairs (havent been in sauna there for 3 years, so things may have changed)

there is a fridge upstairs where you can keep your beers cool.

 

Also they heat it up for private parties (minimum 3 persons I think)

some pics of Sauna there

Now that's a proper sauna. (Except it doesn't look wood fired, but one can't have everything.) Too many fancy "saunas" around where they apparently think that slow cooking people at 60 degrees is going to get them clean.

 

I imagine getting fresh birch branches in Pattaya could present a bit of a challenge, though

But you can import the torturing devices from Finland. Frozen Vihta(Vasta) can be bought from the supermarkets during the wintertime. They don't last long though. Last year we had one in Hua Hin and it lost all the leaves within one sauna session. Sometimes the owner of this place advertises there is the vihta's in their sauna. They say in Finland if the sauna, booze, or tar will cure you illness, it's fatal. The sauna will be the first cure...

 

This is vihta. When in sauna you will beat yourself(or someone else) with it. Great for your blood circulation. Also gives a great aroma when you put the wet vihta on the top of the heater(beer also gives the great rye bread aroma when poured in to the heater with some water).

 

 

Sauna is the killer for some. Don't try it with Finns and if you don't like the full frontal nudity In Finland it's pretty common to dive in the snow after the sauna session, or dive to the icy cold water. They say it's good for your health but I just can't do it. Too cold after the nice hot sauna session.

 

 

One more thing. As I wrote in the OP, there is a thai menu too, so BGs can also go there with you. One BG told me the thai food was good too. I haven't eaten from their thai menu as those schnitsels and steaks are too good to be missed.
