Just down the road in Tak, different amphur. My family have spotted 8 tigers knocking about in the hills and in the fields near the houses. According to my wife's uncle he had seen one behind my grandmother's house. They threw fishing nets at them to spook them. They called poo yai ban and he called they police. They sent a commando unit according to the wife. No luck in finding them though.

Scary to think I like to have a sleep in a hammock under the trees when I go. No more sleeping though for me

 

I find that hard to believe. Not that there are Tigers, but that your family have spotted 8 of them. I know a guy who did Tiger research in Huai Kha Khaeng for 10 years; he saw Tigers twice during that time......

Got the story now. It wasn't 8 tigers it was a man claimed 8 had been taken nearby over a short period. Apparently 2 near the family

That will please a few of my friends if it happens.

If schools put in place a criminal record check and did some training for the new teachers even aiding them in progression. I can't see how this would be bad (fingers at the ready to abuse me)

If the teacher did nothing and took a salary then boot them out. If they are willing to learn and don't use the nickname 'Peder' I don't see a problem.

It's probably all hot air anyway

Sent using sausage fingers on my phone

Good topic. Hope you have a speedy recovery

Edit - I see now this is a few weeks old. How are you getting on?

So where did you find but more importantly how did you find it as this question will be asked 4 times a year for ever.....

It's not a house we found in the end.

My mate has been doing a bit of work ;-)

with a doctor who lives there, very nice.

It's a 2 room apartment with 2 balconies, I will call it my penthouse suite, it's Baan Thai near the police (so called) mansion, near the petrol station on the peppers road. 7,500 p/m with security and 7 baht electric, can't complain with that for the wife and I.

If there's anything nicer let me know as I'm never booked up until I'm in

Has anyone heard about it? Good, bad or ugly.

Regards

I know of a two story, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house for rent around the 8000 baht per month. It is located just off Soi Techno. Needs a bit of a clean up but could be ok. If you like to look at  it, pop back into Peppers and I will give you a map.

Cheers

Thanks John, I think we have found somewhere but will keep that in mind.

Cheers

Looking to buy? Will be selling a 2 BR, 1 bath in Nov / Dec in Warin Chamrap. If interested PM me.

Sorry not looking to buy but thanks anyway

She's a healthy looking thing :-D

Shame about him having a boaby though ;-)

TC Kitchen -- 2 doors west of the Laithong Hotel on Pitchitrangsan Road

 

Wrong Way Cafe - opposite side of the road from Phadeang Mansion Hotel on Phadaeng Road, but 100 meters further north. Its on the section of Phadeang Road between Sapphasit Rd and Pitchitrangsan Rd

 

Google the hotels for location maps

 

The other method of finding houses to rent is driving/biking slowly round the moo baans looking for notices.

Thanks for the details I will Google them.

I have done the biking slowly up and down moo baans in other towns but I have known the area. Currently living 60km away and only knowing big c, tesco and central I wouldn't know where to start

Hi Jambo , I have a gaff 50kms south , you can rent it for 8000 per month , it is in the middle of know  where , but I don't mean tyo be cheeky , hell ye good gaff  

 

Unfortunately I need to be near town or a little to the north. I would have a 200+ km a day commute if I lived to the south.

Thank you for the offer though

Thanks for the replies, I was in peppers 2 weeks ago, it was my first time loved the menu and great value :-D

I don't know the other 2 places so if someone could give directions that would be great :-D

Thanks for those links also. Nothing on them currently I didn't see but maybe in the future something will pop up.

Cheers

So do the police call the press before they do the raid or are these hardened criminals expected to wait while an anonymous tip (from the cops) is placed to the press so the cops can get in on the picture smiling and pointing?

Bizarre but always interesting Thailand

Does anyone know of a decent little house going in Ubon town or just outside for rent?

Furnished would be nice but clean and not too expensive is the most important. Currently living in Trakan but got a nosey landlady who just seems to find something extra to charge for each month, greedy doesn't even cut it

I got my wife to ask at a place that looked nice and was told 25,000 per month, madness as it wasn't even well located.

Please folks if you know where I should look or who I should ask them send me a PM.

Looking at a start of next month move or just before the end of this month.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks chaps and chapesses

I don't know how long it had been there but it was about 5pm when I seen it, how long it had been there is an unknown

Hmm rather poisonous, well you learn something new, steering clear from now on.

Thanks

Hello all, I was out on my mountain bike yesterday and bumped into this short but fat snake, dead on arrival.

Any thoughts??

The missus says poisonous.

I am clueless :-D

I seen 4 snakes on my travels yesterday, very rarely see any.

Thanks in advance.

Kawasaki Ubon Ratchathani :-D

Very interesting. Sorry to crash this but would like to read more :-D

Hub of wasting paper

I will be ready for a new car by then. Looks good. Well be interested to see the ridiculous price tag.

Appears to not just be me with issues with this fine government office.

I know another thread is running about unfair treatment at the same office.

For every good there are a few more bad.

:D

 

A particularly fascinating video. 

Too much talk of umbrellas and European appreciation of the said umbrellas by the Thai foreign minister (Towards the end of the video).

Great topic.

Interested to read and watch more tomorrow :-D
