Welcome to the forum.

My wife is from about 5K north of NDD on the way to Lahansai, we still live in Europe and will not live here for a few more years. We need to save a few more shillings yet :-).

There is not a lot to do in NDD, only one bar (U-Turn) that I know of and very few Farangs around. If you want to know anything about the place prior to your visit just let me know.

Good Luck

Mike

Is the provision of rooms relevant, Nookie?

If you are talking about the one  just opposite the hotel I believe it is now shut down. I only heard about this yesterday from an American who lives just down the road from me.

hi Guys, had a few days at GF village just out of NDD in Sept, a relaxing few days, had a look once for any sign of Farang happenings in town... couldn't see a thing but didn't try to hard. visited a few temples and had a few country drives...overall a good few days...introduced to the whole village and family, my head still spinning. im hoping to get a few weeks off in December or January, and would like to meet some of the Farang community, i was thinking of spending a few days in Buriram city, then make my way to the village. where are the best places to catch up with local Farangs and have a few drinks and conversation?  smilebar sawadi
