Hey bufaloe

I was stationed at Ubon from '73-'74 and Udorn from '68-'69 and now live in Det Udom, 40k south of Ubon Ratchatani. Been here for 2 years now. I have an American friend. living in Ban Nong Yau, that was at Ubon in '72 and has been here 7+ years. We are both retired Air Force.

I live about 25K outside of Det Udom towards Bangkok. As I do not know any other Farang in the area I would be interested in maybe meeting up for a beer sometime. Pls PM me if you are interested

How do ?

I live in Nadee , about 12 KM south of Det Udom . I like beer and idle banter on occasion .

I think curse note is good idea. where i used to live someone cup tearing up my plants and flowers, for some reason. I figured it was woman next door, because she seemed very unfriendly. But could not prove it. I made like a scarecrow thing in front yard with bamboo sticks, clothes and hats and candles and other crap. Then when moon came out I danced around the thing with a big knife yelling some jibberish., As i am an American indian, which people here think is strange anyway, this worked very well. I told neighbors I was Indian medicine man and I was calling up Spirit of The Forest to go after whoever was killing the plants. next day lady next door shows up with big plate of food. she has been friendly ever since and no one ever bothered plants again. however there is also a down side to this as ever since that day the Thai neighbors look at me funny and my wife is nervous that spirit really showed up and lives in the house, even though I told her it was all an act I made up and never even heard of this spirit.

Thank you . Great tale .

Where is 'little duck' located?

Little Duck is on a side street off the main drag with the BK bank , police station , 7/11. If you were travelling in a westerly direction it would be the first left after the BK bank , there is a collectors shop on the corner with motor bikes and model planes and stuff . It is open at lunch time . So you turn left and it is on your left just after the first lane .

I enjoy the food and the smashed ice coctails make a change from the old leo .

see ye in there some time

Hi Dan ,

If you go back onto route 24 heading south for about a mile from the hospital there is a place called MontilaResort . It is about a 100m off the road . You would turn right onto the drive way if you were travelling south .I believe the bungalows are about 600 bhat . It has a pool and isn't far from the tesco or market once you have worked out the short cut . They have a good menu . I take my son swimming regularly and the owners are pleasant enough .

Oh and the small restaurant in town called "little duck " does a nice tequila margarita at 90bhat a jug ....
