If you happen upon the nice town of Petchabun, or happen to be going there on purpose, you may be looking for a bit of light entertainment. Have we got a place for you!
It's the "Music House" at the Kosit Hill Resort. Located a kilometer or so from Petchabun's central area and on the main highway, it may well be the most comfortable and pleasant club in Thailand.
The music is a jazzy pop, created by a small combo and group of singers who can actually harmonize. It's not so loud like so many Thai clubs. You can hold a conversation .. but usually prefer listening.
The air con was just perfect for me .. not overly cold. But the beer was delightfully cold. The furniture upgrades your experience. The chairs are just really, really comfy and large enough for my ample frame.
Service varies from vrery pleasant to downright entertaining. On my last visit, one waitress continually bubbled over with enthusiasm. At one point she explained that she hoped someday to be able to take over the microphone long enough to shocase her "very good" rendition of "Hotel California".
I hope that on my next visit to Kosit Hill I can listen and watch as that young woman sings her song.
