Looks to me like you'll need to drop down to Surin City about 75 km south of you. Since your in Surin your immigration office is in Kap Choeng which is 60 km south of Surin. BTW Surin City has some great farang place.

op. thai id card 24 hours 50 bt. longer need pp.

It varies 350 per load in Doi Siket to 650 a load in Sansi. The dirt fill mafia does not like to cross over into another's area so you'll need to ask locally. Also you may get hit by your local authorities for a fill tax..

In my wifes villege they have completed aproxitmaly 4 km of 8 inch thick concret roads. They voted for the correct person....

All the charts show a significant increase or single spike for May.

In my Isan region I would state: rainy season has started LATE this year.

Just a couple of days now we have significant rain there.

(currently I am on visit in Pattaya btw,).

In my Issan area the season started early (May). Were finally at normal of rain fall for the first time in three years. Let it rain let it rain let it rain.

At the main bus station in Surin you can get a local white 9 passenger van for 60 baht from Surin to the Chong Chom border crossing. 70 km and takes about 1.5 hours. the bus seats 9 legally but you may 20 joining you. After you exit Thailand and clear Cambodia immigration there are taxi(lemo) at this point that will take you to Siem Reap for 2000 baht. Its a two lane black top road and takes about 2 hours. I have done this my self. No bus from the border to SR but their is a bus from the border (O'Smach) to PP 600 baht. Chickens hanging from the back. I took a a pass on that and took a taxi to PP for 4000 baht.

Not much of a Beer drinker myself, prefer good Wine but have you Beer enthusiasts thought about Home Brewing? Had a lot of mates in Australia who did it and claimed it was pretty simple.

Sure, no Bar Girls to serve it but I couldn't give a damn as I'm married to the best looking Girl in CNX.

I brought a kit back with me from Australia, Coopers draught, I think it is illegal for me to make beer in Thailand so lets say my wife made it, 2 kg tin made 39 bottles of beer plus one that I dropped on the floor, 640 ml size, just drank the last one the other day, excellent, cost was about 300 baht plus a bit of sugar. Shall be bringing more than one kit next time I go. Floor smelt good for a few days.

setup for small khmer wedding

NO COMPARISON

PP is good for a visit but to live there would be a stretch for me I will say the visa process is easy and you can work there without any issue you just get a business visa on entry $25 I think it was then you go to any travel agent and pay $250 for the year for a multiple entry work visa, lots of bar restaurant foreign owners etc. Prices about the same as CM. traffic insane.

CM is way ahead of PP in every way except the visa situation

Less dick 'eads in PP... Chiang Mai is swamped with them..

Oh yeah, and the local beer in PP is vastly superior to Thai beer... Anchor (not Ankor)

The Lucky Supermarket in Cambodia/Phnon Penh, 5 branches in PP alone puts the farang markets of Chiang Mai and Bangkok to shame. Cambodia has a far superior selection of wines and at a huge saving compared to Thailand.and beer what do you want, far better selection ad far superior than Thailand IMHO

The water appears blue and clean so I don't think its Ob Luang?

Seems there are around 3 places referred to as Grand Canyon of Thailand. Seems the post about near Ob Khan National Park is correct.

It looks great, you can see it from the plane on clear days, but these pics bring it to life!

It looks like (once you've checked for debris and depth) you can easily take running jumps, wow so cool!

I have not had a Bud for 10 years and don't miss it. I was in the DC area in February and March visiting. We went to 6 Thai restaurants and they all had Chang Export, Singha, Leo and Tiger Beer. Every super market and liquor stores I was in also carried these brands. Yes I was drinking my Tiger.

I stopped using Meechok 2 years back for all the above reasons..

Bangkok will do for anyone - you then extend at normal office. But most offices will do for retirement and some also for marriage.

Kap Choeng Immigration does for both marriage and retirement. on a visa exempt, and 60 day single tourist visa. If you have a double or triple tourist visa they well send you to Bangkok.

There is liquor stor on Changklan Road opsit the Meridien. They did have it.

10mb and land line from TOT ruins me 720 baht per month.

It looks as if they are only talking from Bangkok.

Or they might just be miserable b@ggers whatever store or continent they are in.

There is also an increasing number of expats in LOS from non English speaking countries. That too might be a relevant factor

Guaranteed. Nice people but no English skills at all. I deal with them on a daily bases.

Rumor talk at present until reliable source can confirm.
