Wine 22 in Khon Kaen

A friend of mine recommend that place called Wine 22. It is about 10 minutes walking from Pullman hotel. If you go on Google Maps, put this information in the search: 16.426269, 102.827667. It is on Ruen Rom street, very close to RADS (a famous bar and complex). It opens at 17:30 until midnight. There is live music and a cellar where you can choose some wine. The selection is not the same as in Bangkok but you still can find some pretty good wine (but not cheap, this is Thailand and wine has a heavy tax). However, food is not expensive in that restaurant and you will surely enjoy the ambiance. If you want to continue the evening, move to Rads almost opposite side where you have other “gastro-pub” and more wine available. That Merlot wasn’t bad at all (And yes, I have seen “Sideways”)   More pictures on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50651722@N03/sets/72157651187088235/    

Visitor Tips

Located in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), this is one of the many dining options available to visitors and expats in the Isaan region of Thailand. When visiting restaurants in Korat, it is customary to order several dishes to share. Most restaurants in this area serve both Thai and international cuisine, and staff often speak some English.

Getting There

Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) is located approximately 250 km northeast of Bangkok. You can reach Korat by bus from Bangkok’s Mo Chit terminal (about 3.5 hours), by train from Hua Lamphong station, or by minivan from Chatuchak. Tuk-tuks and songthaews (shared trucks) are the most common local transport within the city.

About Isaan Cuisine

The Isaan region of northeastern Thailand has its own distinct culinary tradition, influenced by Lao and Khmer cultures. Signature dishes include som tam (spicy papaya salad), larb (spiced minced meat salad), sticky rice (khao niao), and grilled chicken (gai yang). Food in Isaan tends to be spicier and more sour than central Thai food, using ingredients like padaek (fermented fish sauce) and fresh herbs.
