The Gong - Time for Dinner
The Gong is rung to call guests for dinner.
We had it custom made in Isaan in 2012. It was made for the old venue, which was down in Sairee near the crossroads. It's absolute mayhem down there these days, extremely happy not to be there anymore, but we are truly grateful for the times that we had there. It is after all where The Gallery Restaurant was born. The Gong is a beautiful, and useful piece of our past, present and future.
During Covid when we were all shut down we discovered that you can actually hear it a long way off, and that the sound is well loved. We received several messages asking us to ring the Gong as they missed the sound, I guess it is the sound of good times.
