The Restaurant Shuffle

Many Sakon Nakhon Restaurants come and go, some just relocate  The Ton Jan restaurant recently closed it's doors and moved to a new location a few kilometers up the road.  I'll explore it's new location and menu later today  Colin's "My Home" restaurant will close it's doors by the end of the month and return to it's former location of the "Fat Pig" restaurant.    click on the image for a larger map view It will take few days to formulate menu plans and we'll be announcing my birthday bash to be held at the Fat Pig on November 1. Martin's Pit Stop Cafe is open for the month of October.  Open every day except Monday.
