There are construction signs up at the Yasothon intersection of the ring road saying they are going to build an overpass. Yay!

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.

Ubon to Pattaya flight is being advertised around town now. I personally can't wait until the sign says Chiang Mai or Phuket though...

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. 

Air Asia is opening routes to Chiang Mai and Utapao from Ubon. It's been approved but I haven't seen a time frame. Anyone know when?

I haven't seen this topic discussed recently. What schools have programs for native English speakers and how is it going for your kids? Y.E.S.? Assumption? Adventist? Nari? Any other options coming?

Normally I don't care by myself. But I'm paying for 7 foreigners this time so a little more pricey.

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

Still clashing if anyone wants to join.

What bergen said. I was there a few weeks ago. It's still worth the trip to the cliff in my opinion. 

I'm not sure if you need a van coming back to Ubon or not, but my friend from Mukdahan says the early minivans fill up very quick with people commuting to Ubon for work every morning. She says anytime after 8am is easy to get a seat but don't be surprised if you can't get a ride early.

I just happened to see the only one today. Haha

This is not working yet? Anyone heard when it starts?

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.

I've been doing a "cash advance" with my home bank debit card from the U.S. every month for several years to avoid the ATM fees from multiple transactions. Bangkok Bank tells me I can no longer do this. Anyone else experienced this?

They actually let me do it this time but said they aren't supposed to do it any more. 

Here is the website for Ubon Veg and the location on google maps. They also have a facebook page.

The one by Toyota and Robinson is located here. 

There is a store with used golf clubs in Warin. Can't give you a specific location as I haven't been by it for quite awhile. I think it's on the Niwat Withi Rd that runs by the golf course in Warin. It's on the east side of the road.

Here is a similar one I saw in Phang Nga province.

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.

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.

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!

Big mistake. I gave clear drawings for 50x50x90 and got 70x68x100 with nails sticking out all over. Add it to the list of crap changs I've used over the years...

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.

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.

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!
