The pub downstairs offers a variety of ‘farrang’ (western) options and some fantastic Thai food as well with cold beers and cocktails at affordable prices to wash them down. Private rooms and dorm rooms available.

Jo’s steak house is a hidden gem. Located in Baniang if you don’t know where to look there’s not a good chance of finding it!!
So make sure you get directions before you go and you wont be disappointed.
Imported steak, delicious sides and plenty of red wine makes for a fantastic feed.
The atmosphere is romantic and stylish and the service is great.
Look out for the wasabi-flavoured cream cheese!
