By khall64au , August 3, in Farang Pub - fun, entertainment and Expat life. Am popping off to Ranong for the weekend Does anybody know of fun places to go in Ranong for a bit of live music? My advice, take someone nice with you and stay in your hotel room unless you like rain! Ah, did you ask for entertainment? If you were thinking about Jansom, it's currently under renovation, which means that the whole frontage has gone. Maybe try Kiwi Orchid Guesthouse in Ranong? Apparently Eugene's visiting NZ at the moment tho.
That's a joke, right? There's nothing worth seeing in the Honeybear. Besides which if you go over to Kawthoung from Ranong you'll have to stay the night. There's SFA not much to do in Kawthoung at night unless you have some local friends. In Ranong there is a couple of decent pubs, although the names escape me. One is the Country Boy? Ask the internet shop along the same road for other recommendations. There is definitely some late-night life, mainly geared towards the Thais.
For a nice meal, get a taxi out to Pak Nam seafood restaurant Have to go out of Ranong on the road to the Andaman Club jetty, and back along to the Paknam waterfront. Fresh seafood live in the tanks, great food, fairly cheap.
Funny enough, when you arrive and sit on the deck, you realise that you are barely a couple of hundred metres across the water to the main road into Sapanphla near the immigration office even though its miles around by road. Finally - if you're bored scoot out to the Andaman Club. If you can afford to risk 10, baht then get a membership you have to exchange in to cash chips, which you could then just play even money on something to cash back in - the drinks and snacks are free in the casino while you play.
Its a nice place to stay the night as well, with a decent swimming pool etc. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account?
