Sisaket Australians and other Expats

[Peter01 0]

Hi All, I would like to make contact with any Australians or other 'Westerners' from English-speaking countries who live in the Sisaket area.

As Sisaket is in the Isaan area, moved to the Isaan forum.

Welcome to the forum, Peter.

I don't live there and haven't been there for about 1.5 years. But when I was there I believe there was a farang (white Westerner) owned restaurant that served Italian and Mexican food between a hotel and the railroad station. It was run by the farang's Thai gf or wife.

I'm really stretching my memory here, and I don't know the name of the road it's on. But check next door to the train station and see if it's still there.

Again I'm stretching the old brain, but I believe they had music, beer, drinks and food.

I do recall that there are other farang restaurants there in Sisaket so look and ask around.

Guess you mean the "Cuckoo's Nest"? That's on the same road where the Pompiman hotel is. Down the road, about 800 meters on the left hand side.

That's an American guy, named Brian. You'll find Mexican food, a cold beer, and companionship there.

Then there's Frank's restaurant, near the police station, called : "Living in the past." Frank, the German owner knows everything about Sisaket and serves you some decent food , plus a cold beer.

Frank must be living here since 100 years, so he seems to have answers to all questions.

Welcome to Sisaket. An old Saga says, once arrived here by train, you can never leave.....Wish you a good start, Peter. -

P.S. There's also a nice bungalow resort, run by a friendly Thai, with a pool, called treehouse, but way out of town, direction Kantharalak rd, then a right turn at the big junction.

Hi Peter, Welcome. I live in Surin/Buriram. Try joining the Surin Farang Forum. There is section on to do with Sisaket. In fact I am planning on visiting Sisaket in the near future. Perhaps we can meet up and have a drink. I come from across the ditch.

Let me know when your coming over here, Les. I must owe you a beer or 3. Franks place has a Facebook page called 'Livin in the past'. There is also a nice Thai/Farang restaurant called 'Pop in' that's good too!'

Thanks for the answer. Good info.

I have a good friend who lives in Kantharalak as do her parents. She's a school teacher in a village about 25 kms from Kantharalak toward Sisaket. She says she works in Sisaket to make it simple, but she doesn't really.

She is a really, really nice lady, 37, no kids, never married and tiny. I think she's 4'11" (150 cm?) and 85 pounds (49 kg?) She's cute.

Hi all, many thanks for all your well-wishes and info...I plan to be in Sisaket between 2-21 November....I'll definitely catch up with whoever is around at Cuckoo's Nest and the other places mentioned. Then from Feb/March next year I'm planning to settle in Sisaket...so my interest is also relating to the region generally, including any opportunities to find work or business interests in the area....
