kekalot Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 BTW, there's a cuty in my wife's village seeking a foreign husband. Can't post a photograph of her, as it would cause quite a few divorces. Anybody interested having a Sott Nang Sao? This is not a joke.-. ahem, depending on what "Sott Nang Sao" means, I might be interested.. my Thai isn't up to par sadly but I am willing to learn. I had been looking to live somewhere in Isaan, not interested AND cannot afford to build a house or anything as of yet (I am 31) I talked to a few ladies that were listed as from Surin, Buriram and Sisaket.. sadly 90% of them were really in Pattaya or Bangkok.. and, nope!

SantiSuk Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 My wife is approached monthly with requests from local ladies to find them a falang. Some are dogs some are definitely not; the the cute ones tend to get fixed as soon as they go online; some of the desperate ones head off to Pats never to be heard of again. Perhaps I should start a sideline business! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loongdavid Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Two of us visited the Cuckoo's Nest in Si Sa Ket for lunch yesterday and the food is excellent, I can thoroughly recommend the place. Unfortunately, Brian was not there but his charming partner Aew was a great host and a wonderful cook. Met up with an Aussie and his Thai wife on holiday from Adelaide and had the opportunity to catch up on some local news. We'll be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawtooth Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks for the kind words David. I'm glad you had an enjoyable visit to Cuckoo's Nest. I was playing Golf (Very Badly) when you were here. I hope to be here next time you visit. Cheers, Brian & Aew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemand Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Cuckoos is good for tourists and the food was usually good when I frequented the place. Just keep in mind what happens/said at Cuckoos does not stay at Cuckoos. Edited October 9, 2014 by spacemand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could elaborate on your rather cryptic last sentence. For me it was for personal reasons, I expect people not go spreading very personal secrets when they tell me its between you and me, then tell me about other peoples very personal secrets, that I really don't want or need to know, why I have not been there in 16 months, while living in SSK all the time and never will set my foot there again, other people have other reasons. Nice place if passing through town, easy location and decent menu but the pretty much the same food except for the tex mex you can get other places in town.

Dakling Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cuckoo's is a great spot for a drink or a bite. I frequent it often and enjoy the atmosphere and the food. Tends to be a mix of folks that frequent it which I like, some locals, some expats, some teachers, some tourists. The other spots mentioned are all good as well. Try them all and decide which one you like, they are all worth a visit. There are enough places that you will find one that suits your tastes, or just cycle through them so you don't get bored with only one hangout. "Pizza 4 You", is also a nice spot to check out if you are near Kanthalalak, it is near the bus station, they have a proper pizza oven and good bread too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goanna Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Dreaming, if you go towards Bangkok on highway 24 from Khukhan, after 2 or 3 k you turn left at ban nok yung. There are two big rice sheds at the turn off. Go a few k towards cambodia, and you will see the bar/ resort. It's a fairly bold blue, with signs in english. Good to relax with some other falang.

New restaurants that aren't really new but worth to visit. Peter and wife with his "Hong Kong garden"m easy to find, there's a Facebook page, I think. Leo is in the city, when you drive down Ubon road, turn right after Wat Si Luang, then go straight for about 2 km's and you'll see leo's on the left hand side. A great place to have cheap and good food is the T-Bone steak and coffee, located right after the entrance road to the Somdet park. Plenty of new coffee shops, they usually open and close because there way too many now. Frank's Living in the Past has survived all the ups and downs of Sisaket and easy to find near the police station. A nice and big pub on the way to Rajabhat university called Cafe de tree, owned by a French guy with cheap beer, food and some Thai music in the evening. On the right hand side when you're driving to Rajabhat, you can't miss it. If you need any information about Sisaket, please feel free to post some questions here.
