Online Payments in Thailand: A Practical Guide for Expats Thailand has made rapid progress in digital finance over the past decade. From the widespread adoption of PromptPay to the dominance of mobile banking apps and QR code payments, the country has moved quickly toward a cashless society – at least for domestic transactions. For expatriates,…
This place has been really cool for me during the last months. It’s own by “Nu”, a Thai man and managed by “Mix” who is also a young Thai man. I haven’t seen many foreigners there, only few friends of mine knowing this place. It is located in front of “Some Might Say” on Suranaree…
Khao Na Phet: My 3 Best Food Places in Korat Khao na phet – literally “rice with duck” – is one of those deceptively simple Thai dishes that reveals everything about a cook’s craft when it is done right. In Korat, a few places do it exceptionally well. But this post is about more than…
Location: https://goo.gl/maps/HKzJba8d3TAUbBrt9 Since the reopening of bars and late night in Korat, this is my favorite place. Why?

8 Dinning is located at Condo Link and one of the best Thai restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima. The owner is “Bus” and was a contestant at Iron Chef Thailand. He is the brother of “Bon”, the owner of 8 Bistro and Fat boy Tavern. I didn’t know that they have special promotion for street food…
Bar and BBQ Location : https://goo.gl/maps/zPjnFJb2B6vya9Vn8 I visited in a new “bar/restaurant” in Korat called “Utopia” last January. Outside, the name is only written in Thai (ยูโทเปีย) and it is located near the 100 years market. I think it opened maybe a month before I went. I saw a banner outside written CRAFT BEER and…
Fat Boy Tavern in Korat: Is It the Best Pizza in Isaan? For expats living in Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima), the search for a good pizza is a recurring mission. Thai food is extraordinary – I eat it most days – but sometimes you want a proper Western meal, and pizza is the benchmark dish. Fat…
At the Mayfair market, near Fat Boy Tavern Location : https://goo.gl/maps/dHmJVi6PxSJXUer77 (It really just opened, do not care about the reviews and pictures yet. I think they are unfair. I liked it). Today, I had Dim Sum at Cha Kafair. The main branch is in front of Suranaree Witthaya, in the old city, but they…
There is a new coffee shop all in white where people likes to take selfies in Korat. You might have seen on your Facebook these white stairs or a white building… It is actually kind of hidden in a small soi but you will find it easily on Google Maps : https://goo.gl/maps/QEXdCKnvHpi3qrgn6 I went twice…
