This is a great bar. Upon entering the bar, Mike (owner), introduced himself and made us feel welcome. The service was excellent, with cold beer and friendly staff. We visited most bars in Nong Khai, and the Doi Smile bar was definitely the best due to its friendly atmosphere and excellent service. The customers at the bar were also very friendly and welcomed us to join them. Overall a great bar to socialise and enjoy some cold drinks. Cheers, from Ron and Diane Muirhead, Bowen, Qld, Australia.

A bar not to be missed in Nong Khai. The friendliest bar in Thailand. Michael is an old time Governor, nothing is too much trouble. A true gentleman. Doi is a treasure. The staff are brilliant.
After Covid ( horary) This is a great bar to just chill , relax & while away an hour or 3 . A lot of locals use as NOT a girly bar . Landlady Doi & Husband Mick ( a Pom / Aussie ) are especially welcoming & friendly .
Beer & spirits are served as the customer wants & in good measures.
A great place either alone or with your wife ? girlfriend , Husband , boyfriend no one cares they are all just enjoying life.
Will defiantly be going again !!!

Friendly bar run by Doi and her husband Michael. Drinks, pool table and the cleanest toilet in Thailand. Michael and Doi are excellent hosts and make everyone feel very welcome. Friendly regulars make this bar well worth a visit while in Nong Khai. Recommended.
Doi's Smile Bar is a great place to relax and have a cool drink. It is located close to the Mekong River with hotels and dining within a short walking distance. Michael and Doi are the best hosts in Nong Khai! Make sure to stop by...
Great little bar with friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks.Near the Mekhong river in a popular spot in Nongkhai.
The owners, Michael and Doi ,are very friendly. Always a nice place to relax for an afternoon or evening beer.
A great place to hang out once in NongKhai. We just parked at the neighbours and had friendly chat with various guests at Doi Smile..... could feel friendly atmosphere directly and came back late afternoon to stay few hours. Just great atmosphere with friendly people.....
on top of this prices are more than fair.....look forward to go back
Absolutely a Gem of a bar, run by a Good Ol' English Lad and his lovely wife; Old school hospitality, at it's best...!!! A rare and valued quality these days, especially for the solo traveller... Cheers Mick, and thanks heaps buddy....
