[kevin2008]

Yes, go to both places quite often but am perplexed as to how to reply to your question.

[kevin2008]

Sorry for the confused post, but my wife is from the area ( wang )which is approx 12km east from Sawang dan din on R22.......visiting the area on and off over the last 6 years ....wondering any falangs lving in the area...seem like a rarity around there.

No airport in SAWANG.....nearest airports Udon or Sakhon Nakhon both appox time 1.30 each way.

[jumnien]

Au contraire, there is a grass strip private airfield in Sawang, 700 metres!

Yes I live about 12kms west of Sawang, a village called Nongluang. Go into to Sawang about twice a week when home.

There are quite a few falangs living in the area,always see at least 4 or 5 at Tesco Lotus.

Yes, It is on the road to Song dao. Haven't been to Chomdao resort yet, there's another place about 1km out of town, turn right if coming from the west at the crossroads by the Bangkok bank, can't remember the name,great food, not expensive.

Also there is a bar in Kings Plaza, owned by a german, went with my mate also tv member, not bad but very slow service.

What is the name of the place next to the police station?? is it a falang bar?

Regards.

Where in Sawang is german guys bar...

The bar is situated in the Kings Plaza complex, in the centre of town opposite the post office,very near to Udom hi tech centre, at the back,as I said Its ok but not to good on customer service.

I'll check out out JOM NANG next time back which will be begining of september for 2 months.

there is a German guy running "FC Falang pub", has German beer (weisse) and German Menu, 3 internet PC's, pool table etc.

You find his place opposite the new market when you get into SDD from the West and turn left one soi before the traffic light, it's on your left, car parking available. Seems he has a farang team playing football against the local cops.

King Plaza complex, where's that?

I live 30kms West of SDD and don't come often to SDD.

Plan to try the restaurant at Chuanthanpanya resort some day. Thai food mainly or exclusively?

So thyphoon, we're almost neighbours then?

[kevin2008]

[kevin2008]

Heading back to Dublin on 20th feb... found out German bar is closed because owner is not well.....nice small new development to the rear of Tesco..2 mins off main road....bungalows..1.3m to 1.7m...office next to Tesco on main road (PAMASTIC)...new hotel, cinema, and bowling planned for next to development....changed internal layout of my bungalow to european style. (my last post should read BANGKOK BANK not farmers bank...

[johntim]

checked out new house builds at tesco, great location on main road, udon thanee 1 hour 20 mins away.

[tartempion]

Unfortunately German bar closed, owner had heart attack I was told by his missus and still in coma (for 6 months? )

She still had a few Weissen beers in the fridge, the place sell woman's clothes now.

Will give Dutch bar a try some day.

[kevin2008]

At the junction close too Chill out bar there are 2 police cameras.....had a smash there with motorbike. When police arrived they pointed out cameras and said if theres a problem come to police station and look at images.

Anyway motorbike at fault and agreed to pay for damages, but suprised to see cameras, especially in a town the size of SAWANG. (motorbike had no insurance, no brakes, and admitted failing to stop at junction coming from direction of chill out bar )

[kevin2008]

Back out there (SDD) next month for 3 weeks....house build rear of TESCO should be completed and ready for furnishing
