Ubon - Karaoke & Isaan Shows

[jay-uk]

Hi All

My family and I are visiting Ubon next month and wanted to know of any better class Karaoke around the city and restaurants that have live music (Isaan) and/or shows. The reason for asking is my wife likes to sing and we heard the Lai Thong hotel had since stopped using their basement area for a karaoke lounge. My two young sons are sure to love Isaan shows if any are available. It may keep them happy listening to the music on an evening when out around town having something to eat.

Thanks.

Regards,

Jay

"better class Karaoke"

Surely this is an oxymoron?

Not really.....just wanted to take my wife to a place where you can sit comfortably and enjoy yourself singing in the absence of drunken thai men. A place that is regarded as "better class" IMO having nicer suroundings not cafe style lounge where the majority of girls are there selling themselves to customers. Unlike the Lai Thong hotel which I regarded as "better class". Oxymoron to you maybe but to me i'm looking for a nice place fit for wife and family and not single strays out for a lay.... but if you think that no such thing exists in Ubon and is a contridiction in terms then maybe you are right. I have visited karaoke both good and bad in the past and know there are two place types you can frequent and a knowledge of where to go and where to avoid is important.

Where to avoid, given your requirements? Among others, perhaps the smaller karaoke bars on Upalisan Road.
