Yes coming from Udon to Nong Bua Lamphu, just 5 kms on from the major traffic lights at Non War Sor. Its actually in Ban Hoi Dula (sic) but not signposted. Its moved back into a more organised market setting on the right hand side, you will see many oil drums on the center carriageway. Its a traditional village market, no commercial stalls at all .The locals all gather the produce from the surrounding hills and jungle . Its actually well known for the freshness of its bamboo. Amongst other unusual offerings are genuine wild boar and deer meat. Eels, rice rats, squirrels and as Lee said, all sorts of birds barbecued on sticks. During the wet season you will see buckets full of frogs .Its a late afternoon, evening market as the locals are out hunting in the morning .Not for the squeamish .lee wrote:I had to pass through Non Wau Sor yesterday when I was searching for garden centers. It's quite a nice area from what I could see. On the way back I stopped at a rather large market on the side of the road offering all sorts of stuff from wild bird meat to bbq'd fish eggs, it's not the kind of stuff you see at markets in town but interesting nevertheless.
It's hard for me to understand why the big shop owner would be inviting additional competition...But I still don't understand why he allowed the 7-11 to go in next door to his store....As powerful as he is in this community, it is hard to understand...Mosquito wrote:
Hey, did you hear that the big shop owner in Nong Wua So is pushing to open up a Tesco and housing estate?? Using that property just before turning off the main road to Nong Wua So coming from Udon. He's already cleaned up the land, waiting to see if Tesco wants another outlet!!!
Yes they are hyper active now owing to overspending their budget on overtime putting all those cones out every morning and night .parrot wrote:.
Stopped at least a half dozen times a month as we head into NongWauSor by the traffic cops at the intersection. I show my license and they wave me off. Never a problem.
Yes, the daily cone patrol has to be knocking a big dent into several police dept's budgets....There has to be, at least, 75 police involved for 3 -4 hours every morning and another 3 - 4 hours every afternoon...trubrit wrote:parrot wrote:.

I think you totally miss the point why most of us live here in the first place. It is a rural situation where the majority, both Thai and Farang live with their family, and as such, have access to possibly the best kitchen, in our mind , without going out. So those circumstances don't lead to the profitable establishment of a "good restaurant", although as Mosquto mentions there are several smaller noodle and rice shops, plus the market where you can get quite tasty dishes, but gourmet they aren't .I personally prefer the trip into town at weekends where there are many better restaurants to enjoy, the wife can get some shopping therapy and my son can meet up with some of his school mates for a game of footie. Its an occasion to look forward to, not a question of being kineaow.kjellsnell wrote:I agree whit you Bigal. We miss a god restaurant out here.

From what i know, a farrangrestaurant doesnt give so much money in Non wai. Maybe it can work out from okt to feb but not under the hot and rainy season.....i really miss a god place to eat for a couple of times a week but from what i hear from the former owner of the restaurant, other farrang prefare to eat at home...maybe kinjaow...i dont know....
I dont think i miss the point.......When Harald and Noi runs the restaurant they have a mix of thai and farrang food and they done quite well even they dont get millions from that business. It was a god restaurant and a god meetingpoint and as i dont like to drink alkohol i dont hang around whit the farrang sitting oposite the market and about foodplaces around Nonwai theres Non i can stand....theres only one in the area that i can recomand and Thats mama Thungs place in Nong A. You see, i live here very long time.....i know wy i live here and what i prefer. As i said before, for 1 ore 2 times per week it could be god eat out and in Non wai theres is no place i where i can eat.......then i prefere my own ore my wifes cooking, clean and god food!!trubrit wrote:I think you totally miss the point why most of us live here in the first place.
