Just a point,  Loei has an airport , in case you weren't sure, or wanted to visit KK as well.

Ah yes the low leg kick ( Tae Tad ) is priceless.

I made the mistake of having the Thai characters for this tatooed on my left arm whilst drunk one day. Now everytime it is visible to Thai people I get a huge amount of interest which occasionally ends up in a forced demonstration.

D'oh

Dude , you know your Taxi drivers!

Chung-loi , kow-jai mai ?

You have to remember that they are the toughest people on earth and the smallest skinniest little Thai dude is capable of kicking almost any farhang ass...even a prize fighter.  

Hmmm , like to see that one proved !

Granted they are tough people , but having trained in a boxing camp ( Sityodtong ) I can safely say that there are tough Thais and un-tough Thais.

In a scrap situation they will probably put more effort in than a tourist/expat  because they have less to lose, but if they receive more than they expected they will back off like any other race.

You have an appointment at 14:00 .

You leave your house at 14:00

Isaan is famous for eating dogs.

Ummm I agree they eat dogs in Sakhon Nakhon , but about 15 million people in Isaan would not be pleased with your generalisation , my wife included....lol

Edited by RDN because it was all screwed up!

Rented accomodation is easy enough to get in Bkk, as long as you know where to look, ( agencies etc) , its probably best to book a hotel for a couple of nights and ask around.

Regards where to stay longterm , do you like beaches/cities/neither etc ?

Personally I would do a mini tour of 4 or 5 places that fall into your criteria, then make a decision based on your own experiences.

Have a gret time!

Caravelle , Glad it worked out mate. Keep us updated , any chance of an invite to the wedding ?

:laugh:

TBH getting married  in Thailand and getting a visa  for the UK are two different things.

To get married in Thailand would take next to no effort, if you wanted to return to UK as a couple, thats another story.

Rephrase your question if thats the case , I have experience in this field ,as do many others here.

Shouldn't it be "You know you've been slumming in Thailand too long when..."?

How about you start a new thread ? " You know you've been living in a tower of ivory too long when ? "

a) You keep posting in the wrong forum.

You argue with every ones opinion.

c) You think people are interested in yours.

all hypothetical of course.

Blimey his £500 will be done in the first 2 days

Truth is , no amount of advice will prepare him for Pattaya.

I first went there 17 years ago,aged 20 , still haven't recovered, I love it
