Singing chicken, Pattaya
Hi Stu N Rach Sorry to disappoint, but your favourite restaurant in Thailand is no more!! When I returned here in late Feb, there were only 4 walls standing!! No roof, windows, door, inside decoration!! They have gone out of business - must have been the singer putting all the customers off!!!
