Yes a good afternoon (short one for me due to work commitments) Admin.

Nice clean place with a very tempting and good value menu / good selection of beers.

No local beers though

I am sure there is a reason for this. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Good picture Admin....Now if "Rocky would go on a diet, you would be able to see the seven blokes behind him

Great to catch up with the "Daves," and looking forward to the next one

Would agree with Somnat that local beers required. German beers are an acquired taste and most of us are not Germans

Food was good and generous portions. :smile: But with total reliance on German beer and German foodstuffs for sale I have my doubts as to whether it will succeed. I will certainly visit and buy the odd item from time to time, but where are the Germans? Best of luck anyway.

Careful what you wish for.......especially if you run a new bar.

Overheard at the Bums meeting yesterday at the FFP.....Youngish fellow working the bar was commenting that he was run of his feet with all the punters that had arrived for the opening. He stated that he hoped that tomorrow (today) will not be too busy.

Fast forward to today. I went past 3 times while picking up stuff for the new house and didnt see any customers in there at all ........I guess he got his wish .....

I hope the FFP does well. Its well located on the Buriram Riviera with good views over the lake. If they decide to stock some local beers, I think many more people will see it as a viable alternative to a possibly dwindling amount of Farang run places in

Agree with Somnat good location, well stocked and good food ... but I also think not stocking Thai beer is a mistake.

Personally I wish them well and hope they succeed.

Seconded (or Thirded). Norbies bar in Surin sells Leo, Heineken (&Tiger,I think) but none of that white horse p!ss that TMWNoTaste drinks

The German brews are a welcome alternative.

Nice location, on a clear day you can see at least 2 other closed bars

Hi 'Daves & everybody

This post got me thinking (very rare BTW) and I wonder what approx percentage of each nationality there is is Buriram?
As I am not local, I can only estaimate Surin has about 30% UK, 20% US, 20% Aus, 10% German, 10% 'Nordic' 10% others. That is just 'gut feel'

Just wonder what others think is a rough percentage

Dave (thinking to much & lack of alcohol today)

Definitely. thai beers are must in Thailand in general for my opinion (Is there any place back home where you can't get a local beer?.. sure it's never happan to me).
To have a wide selection of an imported alcohol and beer it's a blessed and very welcome concept. but to eliminate and ignore the whole market and your potential customers that's another thing. and no need a reminding to the (very) limited market here in Isaan and particullary in Buriram.

Personally I love a good german beer, but for the daily regullar basis drinkers..

I'll visit there anyway as the food ummm.....

Agree fully the need for local beers, and the sooner the better, or he will end up like most others on the lake.

I for one however will not return. Bought a liver sausage on the opening day. Was sour! Inedible. And there was no sell by date on the pack, nor any manufacturers name. Unsatisfactory! Looks like I will have to remain with Vinyl and take my own sandwiches!

Any sign of 'local beers' in there yet?

Hi Guys,

Unfortunately I'm still in oz and therefore missed all the fun. The place sounds good albeit it lacks one of the most important ingredients - local beer! Now everyone talks about it being in Buriram, is it in Buriram and if so exactly where, someone mentioned lakes, is that the lakes in the city near the markets, or is it Surin which is 32 or so kms outside of Buriram.

When I arrive this Christmas I might drive across or walk depending exactly where it is located.

Admin · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2009, 09:33:22 PM »

Hi Tony
Check out the maps, its on the lake where Sawadee Krap Bar and the Irish Bar used to be.

The owner Norbie ALSO has a bar in Surin, where he works. Hope that helps.
