The Thai Adventures of Rob B

In June 2018, I took a two-week holiday in Thailand and spent much of the time exploring Isan by public transport. Little did I realise when I stayed a night in Sisaket that I would end up married and living in the province within 5 years. Back in the northeast, before our wedding, I wanted to explore the city for a few hours.

I knew that if I were to move to rural Sisaket in the northeast of Thailand, there would be many things that I would need to learn and open my eyes to. There were the obvious ones, like learning the local lingo and understanding that the same amenities would not be on my doorstep. But frog fishing? 

  It was January 2023, and life was good. Taew and I were looking forward to our wedding in a couple of months, and we were getting ready to move from Minburi to Sisaket. But before we did, I wanted to make the most of our central location and fit in a few more adventures, so a trip along the western Gulf to Prachuap Kiri Khan for an overnight stay with a scenic stop at Don Hoi Lot along the way was just the job.

As readers of this blog may have quickly discovered, I enjoy socialising as well as visiting different places around Thailand. It is a fantastic country to relax after dark, with many towns and cities being completely different once the temperature cools and people want to have fun. There are options to suit all tastes and budgets, and one venue that has given me countless memorable nights is the Tawandang German Brewery in Bangkok.
