New To Nakhon Pathom (Samphran)

Suppose the header says it all really, looking for a bit of interaction in this neck of the woods, sitting at the corner store with a like warm Chang aint doing much for me. Anyone out there in these parts?

Might be best if we try this in the Central Thailand local forum. Not everybody follows the General forum.

well Oz. there are not many good places in samphran. but Nakhon Pathom has lots of nice places.

near samphran you have Orange restuarant. and. for a beer there is a small pub on petchasem near the samphran traffic lights.

[ozsamurai]

Well thats a start, thanks for that. I see alot of farang around, being close to Tesco, but haven't managed to find the local 'hangout' as yet, are we Central Thailand? 30km from BKK....

there is no real local hangout as such. most falang are teachers so don't tend to drink in the week. Me I go to NK at the weekend it's so much better than SP.

JSM further down petkasem is a nice enough restaurant but take a jacket the aircon is COLD.

I motored past the Guitar Bar today, I must admit I had seen it before, but in the day it looks, well.... its very close so may have a pint there and see what hapens one day. CBR is just a name or the bike to go with it?

I have one of the Thai made 2011 cbr 250's. I had the original before that. but cost to much to keep running.

do you have a bike?

[ozsamurai]

I have owned 8 CBR's in my time, at the moment no, just an Airblade, may see you round the traps someday..... looks like just you and me here....lol

Hi Oz,as thaicbr say's , not much in Samphran-i usually get on my bike & head to either Om Noi further East down Phetkasem Rd (towards BKK) or West to Nakhon Pathom.There's a few bars & local Thai nightclubs , scattered around but i'm yet to discover a 'meeting-point' as such for expats in the area.Being a teacher in Samphran though i tend to wanna get out of town come friday & ride into BKK for the weekend.

[ozsamurai]

Well when ur out and about give us a heads up..... might check out the guitar bar this weekend. BTW totally unrelated, but any of you know any guys that can do bathrooms? Having problems finding handymen....

Hi guys

I am teaching in Nakhon Pathom at Silpakorn and have been having the same problem. Not found anyone to hang out with and the bars seem pretty dead. So if anyone fancies a beer do drop me a line. Off back to UK for a couple of weeks tomorrow (20/1/2012) but any time after that I will be looking to hang out.

I looked up Samphran and it is not that far from Mueang Nakhon Pathom.

Hey I will be moving back to Nakhon pathom in around 6 months time. Definitely keen to make some expat friends as although I am Thai born, I grew up in oz. lived here a few years ago and taught at anuban pathom for a year. Not keen to teach again this time round but there's probably not much else I can do in the area that earns decent money?

well make sure you have an education degree for your teaching license. it's getting tougher to find and keep a decent job these days.

I live in southern Suphanburi, not far from Nakhon Pathom and for entertainment I go to the market to check availability and prices of my favorite fruits and vegetables...just found a stall with home made tofu and that made my day...

for refreshment I'll go down to one of the stalls near the bus station and order a tall Leo beer...the beer is undrinkable but there are a lot of pretty country girls in small shorts, crotch high, native attire for young girls in this savage environment...

in panama hat pulled low and mirrored shades, no one can tell that I am silently slavering over the youthful smooth brown thighs and etc...'thanks, Mr tutsi! see you again soon!...'
