They include Witherspoons in Pattaya, Thailand, where a pint reportedly costs just £2.13, while a breakfast - consisting of two eggs, bacon, a sausage, toast, tomato and baked beans - can be bought for £2.78. It also has patterned carpets, pool tables, dartboards and plenty of TV screens to watch sports on.
