What it is
Isan Kan Wela is a pub in the style of Isan, Thailand’s northeast, and plays its music: mor lam, the sung music of the northeast, and luk thung, Thai country song. It bills itself as a mor lam variety venue (หมอลำวาไรตี้); on concert nights a guest singer or a full troupe takes the stage.
It opened in 2023 on the site of the old Tamnan Chon Pattaya on Third Road, by its own posts, and marked its third anniversary on 9 June 2026. It opens every day at 21:00 and runs to 04:00, the latest a licensed venue may stay open.
Concert nights
Two kinds of night. On ordinary nights it runs as what it calls a mor lam variety venue, and publishes no entry price, so ask by phone. On concert nights a guest singer or troupe plays, announced on its own Facebook page. No coming concert was announced when we checked on 7 October 2026.
