Where I went #

After the massive day visiting Wat Phu Tok, Wat Tham Chaimongkol (plus the fantastic lunch at Home Bueng Khlong and eventually Three Whale Rock earlier in the day, I was spent!

I contemplated visiting the Beung Kan night market again, but as incredible as the food was, it was missing three critical requirements:

  1. Air conditioning
  2. Cold beer
  3. Formula 1 Qualifying at Monaco

Riverside Bar is a great-looking restaurant, located directly opposite the Night markets, on the banks of the Mekong River. There was an outdoor beer garden, with live music, as well as a well appointed inside dining area.

What I liked #

  • Stylish café in a great location, standing out from its neighbours
  • Massive menu, offering all sorts of tasty options from the region
  • Super friendly staff (even turning off the football, to allow me to watch the Formula 1 😄 )

What I ate #

Entrée of Issan sausages and a Jungle Curry main dish (and many, many beers)

The Issan sausage was nice, good flavour and a simple mildly spicy sauce. The green curry was more of a soup, but full of flavour (and more than what 1 person could eat!)

The three dishes came to about 300 baht
