  1. My wifes an absolute angel in everything apart from one small thing that slightly bugs me. She will insist on turning on UBC and watching a movie thats a half or two thirds of the way through.

    How old is she and what's she look like?

    I might take her off your hands; I do that too. :o

    Mid Thirties, bob haircut, can't cook for shit.

  2. Hi Nev. The Kosas not a bad place. ABF should be imcluded. There's also a Charoen Thani Princess next door. Very similar. Thai 3 star standard but if u want to push the boat out theres a Sofitel 5 star also next to the Kosa. Very plush. Prices with ABF start at just over 2k baht there.

    Buying a bed. It all depends on your budget. A rickety " boarding school" type job is about 1500 baht. ASbout 7k will get you a decent double. There's a big Index furniture on the way south out of town next to Tesco Lotus with a big selection.

    A day trip i'd recommend is a trip to Ubolrattana Dam about 50k north of town. It's a vast lake with a golf course and very idyllic. You can ask there and they'll rent you a big 50 person boat for a trip on the lake. (maybe not on the same day though) Last time it was 1500 baht for 1 hour and 1000 baht for any extra hours. Nice and relaxing You can also ride banana boats near the main area.

    Sorry mate just saw you Q about temples.

    You could get away with long "hiking" style shorts but thats pushing the politeness a bit. I'd wear long trousers (jeans are Ok) and a t-shirt or polo shirt (no vests like basketball jerseys) Flip flops are ok because you leave them outside the door anyhow. There a lovely temple near the Kaen Nakorn lake in town. A 9 storey pyramid type structure. You cant miss it. The mmonks are very friendly and easy going and speak some English.

  3. Just had a phone lines installed in my upcountry village so I'm hooked up to the net at home now. The thing is that hi-speed internet won't be available until later in the year and the slow page loading times I'm experiencing are killing me! Any tips about my pc or downloads that may help that could save my sanity please?

  4. Hi all. I'm a new poster but a long term resident of Khon Kaen so if anybody has any questions regarding accomodation, prices, life, directions, locations, people etc. about Khon Kaen feel free to post here and I'll do my best to answer them.
