Popular Post konaboy Posted September 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2021 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 KB 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thaifish Posted September 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2021 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.... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boomer6969 Posted September 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) 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.

Halfaboy Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This little extra thing where you say that it´s possible to see trains while eating sounds fantastic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Skallywag Posted September 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2021 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 ????

Popular Post nickmondo Posted September 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2021 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post buick Posted September 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2021 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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
