Traditional Thai food and some American dishes. Live music. View on the lake, just outside.

This restaurant is located in a two-storey wooden house. A score of waiters and waitresses are there to take care of customers on both levels. Tables on the groundfloor are outdoor and surrounded by some vegetation. Upstairs there is a roof but no walls. When we visited there was live piano bar music.

The menu is rich but not all items are always available. After finding out that no fish or crabs were available at the time of our visit, We ordered some common Thai dishes.

We had a rice soup, fried mixed vegetables and Isaan sausage (see photo), all for 240 B including water and tip. Everything was delicious, with special mention for the Isaan sausage and for its side dish of cold eggplants.
