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?

kevin2008 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
