You should have no trouble with your budget if you stick to standard Thai house construction materials.

No black magic around in Sisaket that i have heard of.Plenty of witch doctors though,mixing up potions for the sick.

Hello ray23

Did you have complex dental surgery done at this clinic?I ask as i am looking to have some root canal work done.

Why has their big pick-up got any relevance?

The cops that ride the motorcycles are very poorly paid.How due you think they can buy brand new pickups?

No need to get bills in your name out here in the wilds of Sisaket.Collector will just ring your doorbell and anyone can cough up.

When the children say something cheeky the oldies say "too let,too let"Does it mean cheeky?

There was an article in the Bangkok Post the other day about hotels that except canines.I suggest you go to their website and do a search.

Must be all the people in the city buying them for i have yet to see one in Isaan.

Saw two large birds with very broad wings like eagles.Are there any in Isaan?

If i used mains water i would economise but i have a nice deep well so why not.

To adopt a child here in Thailand is an horrendous process taking years and years.I gave up.

Best to take the child to your home country and adopt there.Far,far simpler.

I must say i would not want to upset some of the local police here,especially the guys with the big shiny pick ups.

Getting a favour is fine but what may be asked in return.There are some very scary people here.

My dear wife was a waitress in a guesthouse on Koh Samui.

Out in the fields today saw a group of guys with what can only be home made guns with very,very long thin barrels.Seemed to be after pigeon like birds.

I cannot believe we have another guy murdered by a jealous boyfriend.very sad.

Growing trees her in Isaarn is a struggle as you have such awful soils and drought conditions.

I couldn't believe how happy he looked in the photo in the Bangkok Post.

Must say all the Danes i have met have been lovely friendly people.Sure do like a drink or two,courtesy of very high prices at home.

The playing dumb move has always worked for me when i was on my own or with another farang.

When the wife is with me and we are on a long journey you pay the on the spot fine and carry on.You don't want to be making journeys to police stations in the back of beyond.

I have a flight booked for Sunday night arriving at noon on the 8th... This works good as I can just take the sleeper train that evening and I will be in Nong Khai in the morning

solodennis seems to have vanished.Must be having a great time.

You do indeed need a permit.

What i do is borrow a chainsaw from my local lumber merchant.You will find they all have a variety of sizes and just smile sweetly and i am sure they will lend it to you.

Last time i was there the smog was terrible and if you drive around you can see the huge amount of burning that is going on.

Does anyone know if the sand banks have appeared in the Mekong at Nong Khai.Love to stay at Mutmee and have a picnic on the "beach" that appears in summer.

The wife normally sweet talks them into taking 100 baht "lunch money".

I'm pretty sure Medicare wouldn't want to look at my passport before approving treatment.....would they?

If they do all you have to do is lose your passport and get a new one.
