    If you want to fly to Chiang Mai, you can do so using KAN AIR, where 15 KG of checked-in luggage is included

    I've used it a lot but they've become unreliable. They like to cancel the route the day of travel without telling you until you arrive. Happened 3x now.

  2. Do NOT go to the guy at Ubonrak Hospital. Had a horrible experience last month. When I got in he was playing online gambling on his iPad and made me wait a minute in the chair for his game to finish. Then it was like a construction worker going to town on my teeth. 

  3. Has anyone been to Pha Taem lately? Were you able to get the "I speak Thai and work here" discount at the main entrance? I've had problems at the Soi Sawan entrance in the past but haven't been to the main entrance forever. Bringing my yellow book, work permit, and pink card. Maybe I should bring a blood test too. haha

  4. I used my pink card to get the 50b price at Phu Chong Na Yoi National Park where Huai Luang Waterfall is and Khao Phra Wihan National Park today. I've never had trouble at Huai Luang but Khao Phra Wihan can sometimes be a struggle to get a cheaper price.

  5. I found a place that does some very basic table stuff. From the ring road there is a road that heads straight west right before you get to the bus station called "Mae Chi." Over a km down you can find them building them under an open roof on the left.

  6. We're fairly certain that the drain pipe is broken about a meter underground. Thankfully not a ton of water has drained that route. We did exactly what you suggested and rerouted everything with a new pipe outside the wall. Good as new.

     

    If anyone needs a chang, a hardware store gave us his master list. The first  4 I called were bad numbers but we eventually got a good group of guys in. Numbers attached.

  7. I have a clogged pipe in a wall. I've tried wires, soda fai, chemicals, and the guys with the spinning machine and nobody can get the pipe clear. Anyone know a plumber who is capable of breaking open a wall, finding, and fixing a problem? I have a pretty good idea where the problem is but I don't have the tools or experience to do it. Thanks!

  8. I asked around and one of the carpenters that builds the wooden houses on the road behind the airport where it meets the ring road can do do custom work. It's 4x the cost of the one in the picture but it will be the precise size I need and probably better quality.

  9. Ubon's most remote waterfall Pak Khap Sam Tuan น้ำตกปากคาบสามทวน was filmed by helicopter last week during a forest inspection. If you noticed a strange helicopter flying around town a couple days, that was the chopper they were using. The original post is here and I have some more information here. It looks like Huai Luang but this one is further SW in the Yod Dom Forest Reserve.

  10. Does anyone know of a place in Ubon that can make basic wooden shelves? I'm looking for something of similar size to the picture. I've driven around the ring road and looked at shops around Big C and they are all pre-made somewhere else. I can't find anyone who can take my measurements and just build something. Thanks!
