Bar and restaurant owners scratch off all those beer logos from your beer mugs and glasses.

Road House invites you to a birthday party

As posted on Facebook
Larry Nelson

For all my Thai friends, this Friday, Larrys Road House will be having a birthday party for my cook / waitress / and good friend Lek. She has been invaluable to me in my quest to become a great Expat / Thai bar in the north Issan area of Thailand. 

We will have live 2 piece band which plays English just as well as they play Thai music. Lek and her family will be supplying a great buffet with traditional Thai food, chicken wings, etc. as well as our normal Farang (Western) menu.

Please plan on being here to help a special lady and friend celebrate her birthday in a big way.
Activities will begin at 5 and last, as usual, until the last drunk leaves.
