(Th Prachasumran; dishes 60-380B; kitchen 5-10.30pm, bar until midnight; )
Far more successful be-
hind the bar than in the kitchen, this stylish restaurant nonetheless has the biggest selec-
tion of
faràng
food in town including chicken cordon bleu, salmon ravioli, and black-bean
quesadillas. The real reason to go, however, is the selection of American microbrews and
the pool table.

The fast growing Lang Mor neighborhood way out of town behind Khon Kaen University
has more of the same with a mostly student clientele.

The exuberant anchor of Khon Kaen's nightlife, this is a multifaceted place
with live music, DJs, karaoke, 'coyote' dancers and an al fresco restaurant.
