A drink & snack at The Udon Tap Taste House in Udon Thani

Not my photo but from their Facebook page
Jan'2015 While in Udon Thani we were invited by friends to have a drink & snack at TAP. It is not a bar, it is not a restaurant .... but they specialize in beer and have 150 different beers. Many beers from Belgium and Germany. But they also serve food, albeit not as main dishes but in tapas style.

We had a great evening and we enjoyed the food, drinks and service. I hope they will be able to maintain their beer quantity & quality of food & service.

The are located along the north-west side of the ring road. And of course they have parking. At the moment they have small indoor & outdoor seating, but in the near future that will be expanded. Facebook : Tap at FB
Location: Ban Lueam, Mueang Udon Thani District, Udon Thani 41000, Thailand

Lunch at The Tongsai Bay at Koh Samui

Image
The Tongsai Bay lies amid a lush green jungle on the north-east side of the tropical island Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, with a more or less private beach. Hidden far away from the nowadays so busy Koh Samui, but once you enter the green jungle of The Tongsai Bay it feels like you are entering another world. A world of comfort and luxury, while at the same time trying to make as less as possible negative impact on our environment. In 1999 I had the privilege of working for a few months at The Tongsai Bay. And last week (August 2018) I returned for the first time, thinking that I would find a totally changed Tongsai Bay. But not much has changed actually, except that it is even more green (more trees) as it already was. Yes of course the rooms and buildings have been updated to the demands of nowadays. But for the rest it is still the as always delightful and tranquil The Tongsai Bay under professional management and still privately owned by the family Hoorntrakul.

I enjoyed my …

Lunch at The Fair House Resort at Chaweng Noi beach on Koh Samui

Image
In 1991 we travelled from Bangkok to Singapore and our first stop was Surat Thani. In those days you took the ferry (an old fishing boat) at the fishing harbour of Don Sak. At Nanthan pier on Koh Samui you would be picked up by a free service of Songtheauw to bring you to any resort on the island you wanted. Of course they did get some money from the accommodation owners. So while others did get out we did pass Mae Nam, Bo Put and even Chaweng beach. And then we stopped at The Fair House on Chaweng Noi beach. Wow! Paradise was found. In those days The Fair House consisted of a few wooden (fan only) bungalows right on the beach. And a open-air wooden kitchen / restaurant also right on the beach. In the year following we did come back 2 or 3 times and we saw it slowly changing into a real resort with a swimming pool and a real restaurant. And rooms with air-conditioning and even a real 2 floor building. The last time I had been there was about 20 years ago but last week I came back for…

Staying at the Trang Hotel in Bangkok

Image
For memory sake ..... left the Trang Hotel in 1997 .... on the right the Trang Hotel in 2018. Not much change in 21 years! Well of course the all hotel has been renovated and it is still a good deal for a reasonable good hotel at a reasonable good location. Staff was friendly and professional. I stayed here only for 1 night and I had a good night sleep and a good breakfast buffet. For booking this hotel have a look at AGODA.

Train stations in Thailand, next station Lampang

Image
I love traveling by train, especially in Thailand where it is like traveling in time. It is like an open-air museum. Not only the trains itself but also the train stations. They look like they have not changed since they build the first railroad lines in Thailand in 1889. I will try to make a serie of train stations under the tag TRAIN STATIONS, before modernisation will make this all history. This is the train station of Lampang or actually Nakhon Lampang Train Station, about 650km north of Bangkok along the train line Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Next major train station is Lamphun, previous major train station is Den Chai. This train station was build in 1915 and used for the first time in 1916. Lampang train station is build in a mix of northern style and European architecture with many beautiful patterns. The 4 curved entrances give Lampang train station a very typical character. In front of the train station is placed an old steam Kisha Seizo locomotive (no. 728) build in 1936.
