La Luna

With exams being in full flight at school, Mr John and the other English teachers are finding themselves with random free time.  As the sun was shining we headed off to this recommended bar for the roof terrace experience and it did not disappoint.  The higher up you get here, the more chance you have of a breeze - even though at street level there may not be a hint of one.  So the late afternoon saw us sitting up here with lovely views up and down the river, cold beverage in hand and a bunch of "beer food" ordered by Mr John. 

Our snacks consisted of onion rings, French fries along with ham and cheese wantons.  It was all very good - especially the onion rings.  Not being a beer drinker, I ordered a vodka screw cocktail and ended up with this amazing icy drink that went down like orange-aid!  Not bad value though at 79 baht (roughly GBP£1.60 / AUD$2.69).  As more teachers finished work, our little group got bigger and bigger and we are assured that the Thai green curry here is very good.  I only fleetingly felt guilty as a dragon boat crew in training went up and down the river several times.   

Located on Chanthaboon Waterfront (just after Yindee Coffee and before the Catholic Church foot bridge), La Luna is a great find.  There's Wi-Fi, sit down toilets and the only downside to the roof terrace is there is absolutely no shelter, so it's probably worth taking an umbrella either for the rain or maybe act as a sunshade.  We were lucky not to be rained on and because we were there about an hour before sunset, there was no need for suntan lotion.  A great spot for a cold beer.
