PB Restaurant is about the closest farang food place to my house. It's about 3 K and I can peddle there in less than 10 minutes.

It's located at the corner of Soi Farang (13) and Mukamontree, not so far from the Sima Thai hotel. As you can see, they have European and Thai food and Korean Barbecue. The menu includes steak, burgers, sausage, pizza and loads of other western food.

The dining area is under this big tent in the garden of the home of the owner.

I guess the VFW meets here now. That'll be the fourth venue for them in the past three years. They used to meet at the hotel where Ms. B used to work. She said they demanded a free room and other free stuff so the management got tired of them.

The garden area is interesting, to say the least. They must have a dozen statues of Ganesh; the latest craze.

I had spicy sausage with hashed potatoes. It comes with a salad, veggies and a dish of pickled sliced cucumber. That with the Coke Zero cost 175 baht. It was quite good, but now I'm too full to do much of anything.

VFW MM my old cock, Veterans of Foreign wars, An organization set up to by the CIA to use old codgers ib the field to keep am eye on the natives.
Sort of a USA Dads army. THey disseminate (mis)information by sending each other chain e mails, with apocryphal stories of how they are under attack by Muslims, Gays, blacks, Slitty eyes, Democrats, Femocrats.

buad hai · 17-05-2008, 07:33 AM

^Are any of them actually sober long enough to do anything either useful or nefarious? My experience with them, at the old Pasinee, was that they'd begin drinking about 10 AM, immediately start whining about not being able to get Fox "News" and then tease me for having club soda with my lunch instead of beer....

Of course, as the lone liberal at the joint I learned to keep my mouth shut about politics....

Nice one buad hai, this requires further investigation. I haven't had a decent sausage in months.

You sprout a lot of b.s. here.

How about some proof. Maybe a link

-keep am eye of the natives - maybe - ladies that is
-They disseminate (mis) information, again, how about some proof.

They are very nice people, really, as long as you steer clear of politics....

ceburat · 17-05-2008, 12:03 PM

A good restaurant and it is in Korat.

Good food at a resonable price.

Good directions also.

caller · 17-05-2008, 04:38 PM

The wife and I ate there recently when we were staying in Korat - at the Sima Thani - its easy walking distance and we thought it as good as Budhai say's. Nice environment and good food. It was recommended by the guy we hired a car from.

The only thing is, I just wonder how they survive? When we arrived, there was one other group of farang/Thai's sat at one table. After they left we had the place to ourselves for the rest of the evening.

What about when you went, BH, was if full?

peterpan · 17-05-2008, 04:46 PM

WE always timed a lunch stop at that restuarant on the LH side going to Bangkok on the korat bypass, it has a sign with a big prawn on it. Great food at very reasonable prices, they seemed to do reasonable lunchtime business. Its a year or so since I have been there, but you could get a good feed for 2 big uns and 2 little uns for 400 Bt.
Good food too.

I was the only customer. I'm usually the only customer.

But, I've never been there later in the evening, so I don't know if they get a big late evening crowd.

They don't have much overhead though. The owners live there and they just have the salaries of a cook and two waiters.

Only My humble, but I tend to think Korat has the best value food, best value hotels available in all of Thailand. Its close enough to Bangers to pick up the how to, but far enough away to get country pricing.
