This small bar opened at the end of 2009, beginning of 2010. It’s a charming place where you can have some drinks and cocktails and enjoy the young crowd of Roi Et. This place attracts foreigners and Thais, all age, but mostly people around 25-35.
This bar is located in an old wooden house, near the corner of Padungpanict Road and Konpong 10 (often called “Soi Hello” by foreigners in Roiet). There are only few tables but the place gathered a lot of people, often starting at around 7-8pm until midnight.
This is a picture of the bar.
The menu has a butterfly form and is mainly composed of beer, drinks and cocktails. Young Thai girls will like “Lao pan”, a kind of mixture of Ice, Vodka, and syrop that you can have for cheap. Snacks are also available, like French fries.
There is a giant screen on one Wall and the place is nicely decorated.
Toilet paper dispenser in their bathrooms.

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.

There is one pool table (20 baht?) but the main attractions are really the shows. The food is good and prices are reasonable. The concept of this place is very similar to Ta Wang Dang, a famous brand of bars all across Thailand.
Some of the musicians in that band have been playing there for many years (at least more than 5 from what I remember!). They will play Caraboaw and other Thai folk songs.
But you might have other bands and singers, like these 2 guys, doing some hip hop or rock modern songs.
And obviously, in the heart of Isaan, you will always find some Isaan girls singing and dancing traditional songs. And in Roiet, these are very popular. You can literally see the crowd standing up and dancing crazily when Isaan music starts.
The bar closes late, around 2am.

“Phimai National Museum is situated on Tha Songkran Road near the Moon River, Nai Muang Sub-District, Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, 300 metres from Prasat Phimai and 59 Kilometres from Muang District. At first, it was an open site museum, collecting art objects from Prasat Phimai and its neighboring sites, and under the supervision of the Archaeology Division. Later in 1975, it was sponsored by the National Museums Division and established to be the regional museum of the Lower Isan. From 1989 to 1993, the Fine Arts Department received a budget from the Royal Contribution Project (or the Green Isan Project) to develop Phimai National Museum. The Permanent exhibition and its building, the museum office, auditoriu, study collection, storage area, guest houses, and other facilities are now completed. H.R>H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided at the opening ceremony of Phimai National Museum on August 4th, 1993.
The museum is the center of cultural heritage in north-eastern Thailand, emphaxizing artifacts from the lower Isan, such as Nakhon Ratchasima, Chaiyaphum, Buri Ran, Surin and Si Sa Ket. The interesting art objects belong to Dvaravati and Khmer art styles. The Dvaravati style can be seen on Sima or boundary stone while the Khmer style is evident in stone carving of lintels, pendiments, pillars and antefixs. The master piece of the museum collection is the stone statue of King Jayavarman VII of Angkor Thom which was found in Prang Bhramadhatta, Prasat Phimai.:â€
