Moved to Buriram. What now?

[konaboy]

Finished  Quarantine Yesterday. Came outside in Buriram, and hey, I know nothing. I speak Taxi Thai and have a Thai wife. 

Can you guys give me some ideas as to;

Restaurants, Thai and others, like Mexican, seafood or American steakhouse?

Places where Expats hang out. I have several Clancy and other books to give away.

Anything else you might think I would like to know.

 

Thanks so much

It's all closed right now.  The only thing selling is look chin meatballs on a stick with sauce due to the LaLisa blackpink fanatics.

Seriously the "look chin" sold at the Burriram railway station is the best in Thailand. You gotta try. You can sit and train spot while you eat....

 

[papa al]

Ask a taxi guy or your wife.

Whittling is fun.

[zzaa09]

Oh dear.

Pathetic.

Get yourself a house with a swimming pool, stock up beer and wine, hook up with a couple of high school girls and get your wife to learn to cook good farang food.

 

New Zeland beef ans lamb can be had at Tops Robison. Croissant and Danish there too with decent coffee. Get your wives, major and minor, pregnant; kids are entertaining.

Decent food can be found here.  http://www.nookiesdelights.3baht.net/

What did you expect, or is it one big surprise adventure?

 

My advice is to get a hobby that doesn't involve too much drinking.?

Not sure if I can mention the name, but there is a forum for expats in Buriram. You could get some friends there by signing up. Do a google on 'buriram expats and forum'

 

If the moderator does not like my post it can be removed.

Yeah, but that really seems like the high of everyone´s wishes. We just gotta try that! This little extra thing where you say that it´s possible to see trains while eating sounds fantastic.

Nookie delivers to Buriram every fortnight, the Buriram Pie Man's pies (and especially the steak & kidney puddings) are worth a try.

 

Friends speak highly of The Swan; good breakfasts/Sunday lunch at Jimmy's and a good craic at Lakeside bar. I am not up to date with Paddy's bar but my want to give that a try as well.

Strange that Buriram is all closed up and the fact I've been going there regularly without passing, or hitting a police road block in that time. My wife and family went there yesterday to a 'Sausage Festival' by the train station. Are we talking about the same Buriram?

[Skallywag]

You got your Thai wife, best ask her. 

Have you tried a search on Google maps, just type in "restaurants near me"

Is there some reason you did not spend time finding out about Buriram before "moving" there?

It's all good man ????

Peace

I chose to ignore it so's not to lower the tone of the thread.

Now you'll find out why people move out of Buriram.

[nickmondo]

i have stayed there many times.

not much to do unless you like football, motorbikes and drinking

Baan Suan Wassana, a small resort behind Robinson.  Owner named Liam, go there, they

have a good social scene there with ex pats, nice bar and restaurant.

nice market at night on the railway tracks near to the Hop Inn, although a bit dead now with covid

Ask for the Irish Bar.  Very nice bar, very sociable people there.

If you like football, you have to go to watch Buriram United, a great stadium, and very friendly club

there are a few expats dining places, but just ask around, you will see

but generally, nothing much to do there.

i love rural, so i go there to relax some times

massage very few and far between

if you are looking for bar girls........forget it.

 

 

[Halfaboy]

If you are looking for Buriram bargirls you better go to Pattaya....

[buick]

i've been a regular visitor to buriram for the last five years, as often as twice a month.  i go to relax and get away from bangkok so i'm not all that interested in things to do in buriram.  but i have had decent tacos at what used to be harley 288, i guess it is now known as AfriKa.  i was last there in july 2020 so name change since then.  but the menu appears the same, tacos still available.  i didn't see mexican food anywhere else.  i usually eat lunch somewhere inside the Robinson complex.  pick up some beer at the tops market there.  i've been to bamboo bar a few times, they've had live music at times.  muang pizza is worth a try, i haven't seen the dutch owner in awhile as mostly done delivery.  book n bed is a decent restaurant, not quite a steakhouse.  but i've had many steak moo's at their outdoor table.  i thought about playing golf a couple times and went to the local golf course, i think the expats play on tuesday and friday.  if you play golf you could join that group and meet some people (i never did play).  the guys that i talked with at harley 288 seemed friendly enough (expats) but now i'm not sure if the owner is still the same and maybe the clientele has changed.  there was an italian place that seemed popular with expats, i spent some time at a seafood restaurant next door and while there i thought 'i wish i was at the italian place right now' (i hate seafood !!).  maybe some guys know the place i'm talking about.  they've also got the walking street market thing that goes monday and wednesday ?  i can't be certain as i've been away from thailand for a year.  i just got back in july.  i am in buriram right now though.  will update if i see anything exciting.

Why spoil a good hobby with another one?
