I've stated before that there are no decent Western style bars (pubs) in Korat. Sure, there are local bars, hotel bars, restaurants with booze, karaoke, etc.; but no place that has a real bar to which one can belly-up and order a beer.
Yeah, there's the Irish Pub next to the Sima Thani hotel, but, as I've also said before, it is the only Irish Pub I've ever heard of that was closed on St. Patrick's Day and it's been closed ever since.
Now, we have a new pub called the George and Dragon. Grand Opening was Sunday. I couldn't make it. But, it was reported (over on KoratFarang.com) that it would be open daily from 10 AM until late.
So, after lunch yesterday I rode my bicycle into downtown Korat to enjoy a cold beer at the George and Dragon.
When I got there about 1:45 PM a sign was taped to the tightly shut front door: Open 3:00 PM.
Just as I thought; another pub open at the owner's whim.
I'm just about to depart on another bicycle ride to town to give George and is f'ing Dragon his second and final chance.
More later.
