CTO Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Pink house on road out of town in middle od SSD on the left. It splits - one road to Callasin - the other to Khok Si area. About 3 kms down that road is the Pink House - it's "interesting" - went there with a bunch of thai lads I hang out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoyT Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I lived about 15 minutes from Phan Khong in 2007 and 2008. Sawang Daeng Din has a Tesco Lotus, other than that pretty typical Isaan towns from what saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hey I missed the party! No sign of them building anything behind Tesco like a Cinema etc. The nicest little bar is "stumps" bar as we've taken to calling it - open air - all wood - very nice - on corner just down from SMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2008 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 You missed a great party...110 turned up...Chamdao resort done the cartering, supplied everthing ....site at the rear of Tesco filled a few months ago but everyone is tight lipped as too what is earmarked for the site....person building existing bungalows have said they will consider a club house for the development ......Finnish spa and golf club at present at building stage and will open next year, opposite side of road from Tesco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyCool Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Which is better Chom Dao or Chuanthanapanya resort? Spending 3 days in SDD soon. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2008 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Cannot fault either resort....both, too a very high standard re; accommodation and food....both approx 600baht a nite....american breakfast available at both...Chomdao chalets are solid red brick whilst Chuanthanapanya are wooden. Just one point...a bottle of wine is 400 baht at Chomdao and 800 baht at Chuanthanapanya, but you can get wine in local Tesco ( 200-300 baht) and both resort restaurants will cork at no charge......no website for Chomdao. http://www.chuan-resort.com/about-us.html Edited January 25, 2010 by kevin2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I really like Chuanthanapanya Resort - restaurant is great - but do book if staying over a weekend as lately it's been booked out. Breakfast is so-so - I wish the owner who is a very niuce bloke and approachable, would put some of his night time cooks on breakfast duty. Not it's about 600 baht a night - don't book online if you want the cheaper rate. Not many good places for breakfast in SDD, The Black Canyon at Tesco closed and is about to be replaced with a hair solon - erghhh Pink House doesn't open till 11 am I believe Still - the disco is going great - stumps still irregularly opening. If any one up to a bit of a lads night out I'll always make the drive up to the "Big Smoke" of SDD! It's always a fun night out and I like the locals.

kevin2008 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Not good news about Black Canyon....would have thought it was busy enough.....is Pink Lady north of SDD. Coffee shop by name of NANA , west side of SDD on left heading towards Tesco....gets alot of Falang customers.....yes, certainly would be up for a lads nite out ...nice pics Edited January 26, 2010 by kevin2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Nana coffee shop lives up to it's name - awful food and opens weird hours - after 9am for breakfast and closes often early. Very sad Black Canyon is gone however I still have a cappuccino machine at home that I use with my Laos Beans. The next best coffee is the petrol station leaving town heading to Sakon Nakorn - lately they give a free plate of watermelon with every order - nice! Coffee as good as Black Conyon. Pink House is on the road to Khok Si - turn at the lights in the centre of town and head out keeping left, if you take the right fork you end up at Charoen Sin PM when your in town.

Stumps is up the road heading back to the town - just before bus station and the traffic lights turn right for two blocks, stumps on the corner - same soi as the disco.

CTO Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The black canyon at Lotus is open again, looks pretty much the same as before, I "think" what happened was a change of local franchisee, same staff though, no real idea, but it's back. And KFC seems to have had chicken available over SongKran which is unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
