Did get back to Thailand in time after all. But found that I am committed to take Ann to Ubon in the am for dental work. Alternative chauffeur search around the family has proved fruitless and, after 2 weeks away, she deserves a little attention from me anyway (although it has taken me 2 hours of minor sulking to arrive at that conclusion). Serves me right for not sharing plans before I left but I half-expected not to be back in time!

Anyway - I hope to join y'all for dinner in the late afternoon/early evening, even if that means going light on the beers.

See you when you're here SantiSuk

Hi ib1b4

I use 3 different ways from Ubon to my place............

1: go 24 to Det Udom, go through D U, and after 10km on 2192 turn left onto 2171 to Nam Yun, and we are on 2248, 13 km west of NM

2: 24 to Det U, turn right follow 24 and after 15 km turn left on 2214 through Nam Khun, then right onto 2248, and we are 6km ahead on the left/east hand side..........

3: 2178 to Kantharalak, go south on 221 towards Khao Phra Viharn, and after 25 km, turn left/east onto 2248, and we are 25 km on the right hand side............

Hello Bergen. I'll be there alongwith ever-loving wife. A toute a l'heure, Johnny.

Sounds great Johnny. Looking forward to seeing you!

Any chance someone will post a few happy snaps of the meeting?

I'd like that ...

Will do David!

Hi guys

It's a just a week until the farm meeting, and the numbers look good!

Here is a possible agenda:

Arrive whenever suitable, but for those who come for lunch, there will be some free food served around 13.00.

Free beer available to all from arrival.

We'll have a walk around our farm, possibly after lunch, but at any time if wanted.

Free beer will be available until empty, and additional food, soft drinks, beer, wine and more can be bought from our restaurant, for lunch, dinner, or breakfast. We have a swimming pool if you want to cool off, and a pool table for those interested later in the evening.

It is not too late to join in, so come on - the more the better!

Hi Bergen,

I've just been given my domestic/household chores for the next two weeks. Once again I won't be able to attend an IFM...hopefully next time.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend.

Hi Dave, sorry you can't make it!

We'll just have to drink your sponsored beer and agree that you're a great guy!

I recommend the vet clinic in Warin, on the main road into Ubon across from the fire station!

Bought dark Beer Lao in Tops Central Plaza Ubon today Saturday at 11.00, and they had the ordinary one also!

Sorry fellows. I would love to see Bergen's place and be there with you all. But sadly I can't make it this time.

@ Bergen: Please make some good pics. No more excuses on dead batteries this time.

You'll be missed Dancealot, but hope to see you down here at some time!

Will post pics for sure!

Beer Lao ('ordinary' and dark) made an appearance in Makro Ubon a week ago. Will have gone by now (i bought the only case of beer lao dark plus one of the three cases of ordinary - and i'm not telling you where i live!).

Maybe Makro will get some more - the cashier staff looked at it like it had arrived from another planet.

995 for the ord and 1115 for the Dark.

Outside Inn also had a few bottles on sale on Saturday, but Ubon Hash got most of those

[Those who come on the next few Ubon hashes may see a guest appearance of the ordinary - I'm keeping the Dark for me alone - gerroff!]

I bought the last case of ordinary beer Lao in Makro on Sunday. Hope they'll get more, and dark in soon!

Been getting 2kg Cheddar in Makro for ages.. 900bt

IMHO...................

the Cheddar in Makro is tasteless, while the Gouda is not!

Makro sell about 3-4 various makers of 'Cheddar Cheese'. Don't write them all off. I prefer their ready frozen grated 'Cheddar Cheese' as it doubles up to make a lovely topping for pizza's. Their 'Mozilla' is crap.

Hmm, yes I was referring to the 2? kg Cheddar "ball"

The guy to ask about the case in Surin is Alf.........

This topic has been covered considerably in 2 Norwegian/Thai/Isaan facebook groups. Money can be paid into a bank account created by a Norwegian doctor, who has been in Surin to see him and is trying to organ fundings to pay the hospital, and help him back to Norway.

If anyone wants the account number, or any other info send me a pm.

Hi everyone.

If you want to stay the night, the Ratchawadee Resort is just 5 km away from us, and their number is: 080 098 1813

Come on guys - what are you waiting for? It'll be interesting and fun!

Hi; Bergen. As per our phone conversation last week . Is the room I booked still available ? I need to make sure, as the wife will be coming along as well,

Hi ib1b4

Yes the room you booked earlier is reserved for you, so everything is ok !

Hi Bergen,

Pupay & I will be coming for the Isaan Farmers' Meeting. Sorry I replied so late that we cannot stay at your place. I will contact Ratchawadee Resort. I will bring a couple cases of Leo as I neglected to do so for the last get-together at Pakdee's.

Is Route 24 the best way coming from the west? We will be coming from Nakhon Nayok via Prachinburi.

We look forward to seeing everyone from last meeting & some new faces.

Cheers,

Dave

That's great Dave,looking forward to seeing you, Pupay, and the Leo s.............

Yes follow 24 and turn right at 221 to Khantaralak. (left goes to Sisaket)

25 km after Kantharalak on 221, turn left on 2248 (a bit of widening road work going on), and we are 20 km away on the right hand side!

Due to the unreasonable,unfair and ludicrous rulings of the bloody Australian Government I am unable to attend this or any near future hashes

But,do not fear,I shall return at some date

Cheers

as a reborn virgin......................

Hi Bergen,

Pat and I would like to come, please can we book a bungalow for the night as well. Look forward to seeing you again on the 28th

John

John will be good to seeing you again, 1 room is reserved for you!

I tried Shell Tangkay Seafood in Naklua a couple of weeks ago, and thought they were quite good........

Had great Mexican lunch at Outside Inn on Friday, so I'm loading up to be both hungry and thirsty next Saturday!

I'll be there as usual, but keep it a Secret.............................

There will be no specific topic at this meeting, but for those interested in different kinds of farming, gardening, house building and farm/house stay, you'll have a great opportunity to talk to like minded people, and our house will be open for anyone interested!

Thanks so much for holding the Isaan Farmers Meeting No. 11.

I very much regret that I will be over in England at that time attending a niece's wedding, as well as doing my annual round of grandchildren in both England and the US.

I so enjoyed the last one which you held about 2 years ago. As I say, I sadly I won't be with you but highly recommend others, who can, to go and enjoy their time with you.

All the best,

AA1.

Sorry you can't be here in person AA1, but you'll be here in spirit, we'll keep in touch, and thanks for nice words!!
