First trip to Kalasin

[bangkokjulia]

Hi, I am travelling to Kalasin soon where I will be spending the best part of a week. Any recommendations on places to eat and drink both during the day and at night? Any up to date info will be greatly appreciated

Here is the most recent thread on the drinking side of things. There are a couple of earlier threads on Scott's bar etc.. Suggest you do a search on the forum.

Thanks 33

Scott's Bar is our only "Farang" Bar, and it is just a short walk from the Bus Station... Amadeus is the only Truly "Farang" Restaurant is a little harder to find but still in the "Downtown" area... And of course there is the usual KFC', Pizza Company and such, at both Lotus and Big C...

Thanks for this piano-as advised by 33, I did look up some older threads and "Dara Bar" and "L Club" were mentioned. Do you know of these?

I just returned from there. I put everything I learned here: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Kalasin. I suggest other TV users also contribute to WV.

Just to avoid any confusion, the 'Red Sun' mentioned by Seligne on Wiki is the same Tawan Daeng that some of us mentioned on past threads. This is one of a chain of music venues found in several Isaan towns. It is up some steps to the right of the bus station as you look in from the main road. I don't know whether Dara Bar is still open, but it was a few yards along from Tawan Daeng towards the main road on that same side, and down an alley on the left. The bars close to King Karaoke, near Tesco, can also be interesting. You'll see on another thread that some posters mention Black Canyon Kitchen cafe in the PTT services between Kalasin and Yang Talat, which sells western food. I've never been there, but plan to look in - though I get the impression it just offers slightly expensive fried food.,

P.S, Looks like Darabar is still going, and also a map of L-Club in a link from this page.
