A nice place for some nice grub and a coffee or a snack. Aloha is in an area where there is not too much of a choice for a bit of grub and a bit of aircon. Situated on the edges of Khon Kaen and Chaiyaphum districts Chum Phae is here Google Maps link is here. Been there to get my fix of Farang grub many times, and always good food and good staff. Apart from Pizza’s there are a variety of Salads, and then a variety of Pork, Beef, Salmon, Chicken and Fish & Ship! I must admit I have never tried the Fish & Ship but probably ok […]

This is a really nice place to pop in for some posh nosh or a good coffee and a cake. Run by a very nice man called Robert who hails from Scotland and has been doing a good job there for just over three years. I have been here numerous times and it has never failed to hit the spot. They produce Thai, Fusion and International Cuisine. I guess the most visits are for coffee and cake. Always something to tempt increasing my waistline! On my last visit I had a burger and it was really good, and then it turned out to be a record breaking one, as by […]

Ok it is just about thirty yards, sorry thirty metres, up on the right hand side of the Soi from Beach Road. A veritable quiet spot for a bit of nice food away from the noise and madness that Soi Six tends to be! Been here many times and always good grub. This time I had the Lasagna from the Chalk Board out front. It was really good! Not sure my picture does it justice but it came on a sizzling trivet! A mix of French / Italian food I think because of Marcel, the owners background. But Thai food is also availiable. And Pizza is a speciality. Lots of […]

This is a friendly Guest House and Bar. Situated just off Soi Buakhao. Run by the owner, a very friendly chap called Andy and when I met him I found he was someone I had to really look up to! He has been running the Hideaway for almost four years. They are on Soi Buakhao 15 which is the Soi that runs from Soi Buakhao to the back of the Avenue Mall, so it is easy to find. For Google Maps this is the link. They are down the Soi opposite the Nature View Hotel. They do have entertainment on some evenings, such as every Wednesday evening at 8.00 is […]

The Tree House is a quiet place to go for some grub or a coffee and cake. Or even both! Pleasant clean and inexpensive! Nicely decorated inside and a nice garden outside which is worth a wander round with a childrens play area and swings. Food is a gentle mixture of Thai and Farang including snacks and a showcase of assorted cakes to choose from. Staff are always helpful and polite and in abundance! Oh did I mention Bingsu? This is a Korean dessert which is made from Shaved Ice and sounds at first a bit of a non starter but in fact is, surprisingly, really good and worth a […]

This is a very nice Pub and Restaurant and it has a Continental flavour. Ok it is actually a Continental Restaurant. They have been around here a while now but they have just moved about 400 metres further up the road (away from the Sukhumvit ) and round the corner on the left. Easy to follow signs are there to help find the new location, but it is on the road opposite the new CJ Supermarket. I always thought the old place was a bit oversize, but maybe that was just because of the long and narrow layout. The new place is a little smaller but it is not small […]

A very nice little Continental Bistro, Cafe, Deli and Bakery. This is a very multi-functional place. Hot or cold food, Cakes, Coffee, Beer, Wine or Spirits as a Cafe. Bread, Cheese, Cooked Meats, Cakes, Bottles of Wine or a Coffee Machine and Coffee pods as a Bakery/Deli. Food is always good and I usually have a breakfast which comes with a juice and a nice coffee. Sometimes something a little smaller or just different, chosen from the bi-lingual menu. Being on open fronted Cafe there is, of course, always a chance of someone with a fag on, but the two innermost tables have a no smoking sign which is always […]
