There are a number of good bars and Restaurants around Maprachan Lake not to mention nice resorts/ hotels where you can get a lovely room for less then 800 baht per night.Originally Posted by hemingway
Once you get on Siam Country Club Road coming from Sukhumvit Road just follow your nose across the Railway track and you will pass numerous bars and Restaurants until you see the lake on your left (about 8 kms from the Railway track).
A place I like is the Rendezvous which has a separate dining/ bar area and just past there you have 4 small beer bars where you can get a drink and meet some of the locals.
Further around the lake you have the Fisherman's Rest which specializes in Indian food and a number of other beer/ pool bars further around.
Not knowing what you like or dislike I am a bit lost about where else I should send you.
