Since two weeks Savannakhet already more strict on Tourist Visa applications and difficult for ED from certain schools. The number of applicants already down. 

That does not surprise me. If the applicants fully meet with the requirements for the visa they applying for, they will then get the said visa. However, in my opinion there are too many chancers and cheats of all nationalities out there who want to shape the system to suit their needs, and when the system fails them, they complain bitterly that they have been wronged. 

Peace.

I recently bought the Canon Pixma G 2010 All in One from Lazada. I am well satisfied with it. It is sometimes available at Tesco Lotus for around the same price.

I was in Savannakhet a couple of weeks ago on a Monday and witnessed the long queue at the Consulate. On the Tuesday there was maybe 40 people there Wednesday was the same. On both those days the queue had cleared by 10am. The Tuk-Tuk driver also pointed out the new Consulate which is under construction. As the current Consulate has only one service window/desk, my immediate thoughts where that maybe the new building will have more, just a thought. It has to be remembered that the Savannakhet Consulate is a massive earner for all kinds of businesses and services in Savannakhet. My guess is that if there are going to be any changes it will be at the building change-over time, but I doubt there will be. Just my opinion.

You would be most welcome  to contribute your images to the topic

which now has 20 pages of mainly images plus some chatter.

Yeah, I have considered it Ron. The problem I have is, that I only take pictures of the things that I like and they would not be everybody’s cup of tea, and, I don’t respond well to criticism. However I will consider it and maybe post some of my favorite pics in the near future.

Thanks Ron. To be honest, everywhere I look around the Province I see a multitude of abandoned buildings but most of them uninteresting. I also like to get among the rusty remains of old machinery and plant. I worry about myself sometimes.?

An old thread but it will help me to know what the approximate cost is in Thailand of Lansoprazole 30 mg, generic or otherwise, anyone?

I buy Omeprazole 20mg from a local pharmacy here in Chiang Rai, at a cost of 120 baht for a box of 100 capsules and they work fine. I have been getting them for a few years now, and not suffered with any acid reflux. I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

Nice find Kevvy. I will certainly go to have a look at this place. I love taking photos of abandoned buildings, rusting machinery and anything else in a state of decay. I find they are far more interesting to me than photographing scenery, people etc.

For sure Peter is still going strong and Orn's is still in business, I was in there on Saturday. The other stuff, I have no idea.

Have a good day.
