I'm going to be in Chaiyaphum from around 17th July to 23rd August 2009 and was wondering if anyone else will be in the area and up for a beer some time. I'll be with the wife and kids and probably travelling around a bit but could certainly find time for a beer or two.

I also noticed on another thread that there is a Farang Corner in Nong Bua Daeng and was wondering if this would be worth a visit. Does anyone have any up to date info on this ? I haven't been there before so know nothing about the place.

Cheers

Thanks Dee. Have been a few times before and spent three weeks there last time and enjoyed it. Staying a bit longer this time so if anybody is about would welcome the chance for a beer or two and a chat.

I missed my annual pilgrimage to Chaiyaphum this year(Credit Crunch) but even 18 months ago when my wife and I visted there we both had FLU !!! .....TWICE!! "first we both went down with "head colds"....then a really nasty bug that kept us both sweating in bed for a week!!.....about the worst holiday I had in years,....I just hope it don't happen again......apparently the current "in crowd" meet up at Tesco!!

There is a farang bar in Chaiyaphum?

i have not been visiting pubs too much recently(wifes orders),....but there used to be a Scandinavian chap who had a bar but was closed,....I don't know if any more recent bars are now operating.

I was there last at the end of 2006 and didn't find any.

I am pretty sure there would be at least 2/3 bars open nowadays with Farang connections,....wouldn't there?? .....or shall us 3 open one!!...

I have small pizza bar in Non Sung. Come for a drive here and I shout you a pizza... You pay for the beers

Its about an hours drive through the back roads. It is a realy scenic drive through true Issan farmland and worth the time.

Glenn

Non Sung???? I probably know it having toured all around Chaiyaphum(wife will remind me)but I am not very good at remembering town names!! I am presently in sunny UK,,....IS IT HOT THERE?

A few years back when I used to live out there(Chaiyaphum) I had a couple of regular drinking partners(Chris and Gary) and we would dissapear from the wifey's for a few days,(despite them telling us not to booze).....it would all start when either would roll up at my house with a bottle of Sponsor laced with Gin......... unfortuneately I don't think my liver is quite what it was!!

Thanks Glenn I'll probably take you up on that. I have just located Non Sung on my road map, south of Chaiyaphum near Korat if that's the one.

I'll be traveling from this Saturday, the 27th, so will only be on the internet from time to time and certainly not every day, especially the first few days, but I will keep monitoring the thread.

I live in Chaiyaphum since 1 year now in july. I can tell you that there are no farang (falang) pub here right now. That Scandinavian one is closed. But nevertheless, find a pub isn´t that hard. If you like we can meet for a beer or two. It is always welcome with company up here. We are a couple of guys that meet every now and than, so just come and join.

Hi Glegolo

Actually I understood your post it was Handydog I was referring to.

I will be in Chaiyaphum on a Friday for sure. I should be arriving on Friday 17th so maybe 24th or one after that. I will get in touch once I arrive. I am flying out in a couple of hours so won't be checking my mail for a couple of days at least.

Will be in touch

Cheers

Hi,

Nong Bua Daeng now has a bar! Ran by a Thai/Western couple. It of course sells alcohol plus food and has a pool table and computer with

internet. Think it's called JJ's. Nong Bua Daeng isn't big so finding it won't be hard. Ifyou pm me I'll get you the owners telephone number.

If you need to stay in this area there is a very nice resort with aircon chalets round a pool with a small bar up in Kaset Somboon called Barry House that I can recommend, again pm for phone number. 400b a night.

Won't be around until sepember myself but hope you enjoy the trip.

Andy

Sweet as = very good, no problem, all is good, OK, cool

Kiwi slang. Sorry for the confusion it caused.

No problem I am in Thailand, Ban Chang, now but using a slow internet connection. I will move to Bangkok tomorrow and still scheduled to be in Chaiyaphum for the 17th July. Will try and visit you during my trip

Thanks aswell Andy I will try and visit Nong Bua Daeng during my stay.

Will get in touch again Glegolo when I arrive in Chaiyaphum

Thanks all

Ok I am finally in Chaiyaphum. I arrived on 17th July as scheduled but went back to Bangkok on 20th for a few days to watch the Liverpool game.

I am now back however and will be here for a few more weeks. I have sent PM's to Glegolo, Andy and Handydog. So hope to find JJ's and also meet up with you guys.
