Tree House Bar Restaurant

Great bar, upbeat staff, good for a relaxing drink or drinks with friends. Wifi. Reasonable prices. Repeat visitor.

The staff seemed like we were a bother. As a Farang you might have a defensive attitude to begin with, but trust me, there are plenty of eats and bars that don’t make you feel like this. This was my first really bad experience in Thailand up to this point. I pointed at what I wanted to order on the menu and the waiter still didn’t understand what I wanted and called someone other server over. I should have ordered what he was smoking because he was out of it. That guy gave us looks the whole time, not just him but other servers there made me feel very uncomfortable. It’s a tough location in that once you vomit to going upstairs your there for something. So I would recommend not going. That’s my take. It was only a meal so not a huge deal in the grand scheme, but I don’t recommend it.

This restaurant seemed to have cornered most of the dinners in the area at a quiet time. It was up some stairs so not so good for anyone with disabilities, but it did have a mix of seating so if sitting on the floor is an issue, as it was with us they have normal chairs as well. The service was very good with plenty of staff around, the food was also good. And the live music was excellent. A couple of downsides, there was no toilet, you have to use a neighbouring restaurant which is some distance away, and we had to move table as the smell of sewage on one side of the restaurant was quite bad.

Food wasn’t very good and the staff was rude. The vegetarian baguette was passable, but the noodles we got were hard and chewy. We sent the noodles back for fried rice and the waitress said she would cancel the noodles order. They then charged us for all of it and were very rude when we tried to clarify. Ultimately they forced us to pay for half of the dish “because we ate some of it” (ie tried the dish before realizing it was terrible).

We had a few cocktails, got the bill paid in full with tip (double checked by me and my husband as usual) and we tipped the singer too. As we were leaving we were told that we hadn’t paid enough and still owed 80 baht. We told them we had already paid in full, including a tip, but they were having none of it. They made us feel threatened. We will never go back again.
