KhonKaenKowboy Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would describe the food as kind of like a Greek owned restaurant...you're not sure if you should send it back, order more, or simply vomit. But, he has outlasted most bars by 25 years...owns the building. They also understand the concept that people from places with 10X per capita GDP do not put ice in their beer. His WiFi is pretty good, too. It's fun too watch the Chinese and fat trashpacker girls trip on the three inch step.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Probably the Best Bar owner in CM. His Thai food is good and cheap. The Staff Come and Go and often return years later. Treated me well over last 16 years but then I do prefer the Old Style Thai as opposed to modern western poo. john Told the upstairs used to most interesting in years gone bye.

You need to go to The Game for a proper beer. Err, wait a minute...the Game went out of business...oh, well you need to go to the highly touted Hangout for a proper beer...err, but it went out of business, too. Perhaps, a trip to Mad Dog to see if staff and customers are as nasty as the numerous reports...but the canned beans look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What is the name for the area above ? The reason I asked is that back in 2002 , the year after I came to live in CM a family friend came to CM on a holiday. I did not know the guy a former UK Police Inspector and he booked into the Prince Hotel. I met him on his second day in town and he had been for a walkabout in the streets round the corner from the Prince. He was disgusted by what he saw. He even found a Gay place which sent him over the top. Not a nice report on CM when he got back to my UK home town. john But I am very broad minded. 555.

There were numerous super-cheap Thai brothels all over that neighborhood and all over the city. I think it was about 1995 when they were all shut down. Las Vegas still had a windmill. "1991" was called "99" back then and there was no pretense that it was a karaoke bar. There was another place called the DD Cafe which became the 2nd home of the Escape many years later and several others on the same street near the corner to the North that turns to the left and hits the moat.
