It’s more or less behind “Ban Korat” and near to “Stories”. You can have a simple drink and listen to live music after 9:30pm, or go earlier and have an EXCELLENT dinner with friends, in a beautiful environment.
The terrace at Happy Land, a popular pub on Mahat Thai Road in Korat.
At the entrance, there is a smoking section, otherwise inside the restaurant is all non-smoking. The terrace is awesome and the place is generally full almost every night. It’s similar to Dok Mai Café, or Bali restaurant. The crowd is actually more mixed: You can easily have tables with couples, or friends, or only girls, etc. Inside is on 2 floors with a stage for musicians. They start playing around 9:30pm.
Warm lighting and tropical decor at Happy Land in Nakhon Ratchasima.
I have to say that I believe they have the most beautiful waitresses in Nakhon Ratchasima at the moment. Of course, you are going there for food and drink…but it doesn’t cost anything to have nice furniture and be comfortable! The place is nicely decorated and clean. The food is fantastic. It is obviously a place “to be seen” and “a place to be” at the moment. Tom Ka Pla Salik. Very nice fish soup with coconut milk. The slogan is “Din Dan of fun” which means a place with fun. “Din Dan” is rarely use for talking and more a written expression in Thai. The musician are very good. It is REALLY nice to sit down outside, on the terrace, have a nice meal, relax, and later on, have live music at 9:30. When musicians are playing, it’s a little louder but still, acceptable and fine to me. Yam Pla Salmon. A spicy (very spicy) salmon fish salad. Not my favorite. Very good Laab tod. A kind of fried minced pork with herbs. Tom Het. A sour Thai soup with mushroom. Spicy and quite sour. The menu has 2 pages with pictures. The rest is in only in Thai. See below. Example of one page on the menu. They serve a Vodka Tower for 350 baht. It’s a vokda cooler tower. They have a parking. This place is highly recommended.

Happy Land is a local Thai family-style restaurant in Korat serving shared dishes — stir-fries, curries, and rice plates eaten communally. This format is the backbone of Thai provincial dining, where groups order multiple dishes over hours of conversation.
How should non-Thai-speaking foreigners order at local Korat restaurants?
Use Google Translate’s camera function on the menu, show food photos on your phone, or point at dishes at other tables. Most Thai cooks are welcoming to adventurous foreign customers. Ordering at busy lunch hours when everything is ready also simplifies communication.
What dishes are safe bets at any Thai restaurant?
Universal standbys: pad kra pao (stir-fried holy basil with pork or chicken — Thailand’s national dish), khao man gai (poached chicken rice), pad see ew (stir-fried wide noodles), tom kha gai (coconut galangal chicken soup), and khao rat kaeng (curry over rice from the daily selection).
Is Korat food cheaper than Bangkok?
Yes — a street food meal in Korat runs 40–70 THB vs. 60–100 THB for similar quality in Bangkok tourist areas. Sit-down restaurant mains are 100–250 THB. Overall food prices in Korat are 20–40% lower than equivalent Bangkok meals.
