Nong Khai, Khon Kaen or Ubon Ratchathani should do you fine.

Conucr, adding Yasothon to the list.

Sorry, no mercy here Heroin is a No No in my book, my thought you are getting a little bit of what you desever(a wake up call) in the slammer, wise up get help get off the stuff, user SOMETIME become dealers/trafficers and may get the death penalty or life in some countries. Just ask the young UK lady in Laos.

From what little Public TV I watch I must say that I totally concur, but it's a supply and demand thing, many Thai people seem to love it, so the power that be keep bring it to them, and the public is buying the sponsors products so the public at large is getting what it pay for.

Great story loved it, she there are some good people in LOS, this young man is a shining example. Reminded of a few years back when I drop 100 Baht near the University as I walk to buy a Bangkok Post, I pull 20 baht out of my pocket and the 100 baht drop to the sidewalk, two young ladies, University walking behind me saw it a happily return it with a smile, they to refuse a reward. Great kids

Hmmmm!! What's up at this check point I wonder. Maybe they were shooting a movie when this poster went by.

Some good thinking in calling the hotel, getting an English speaker no doubt to alert the local rescue squad, the thing they don't say in a tourist guide, just Good old COMMON SENSE paid off for them. Bet these two were boy/girls scouts when they were growing up

Yes you can no WP necessary. Check with the folks at ING Life Limited>tele:0-2263-3896, 0-2263-3899 or the folks at AIA

My Bias opinion Thailand is still by far the best travel destination for tourist/expats, why>main reason visa on arrival for most countries, many first class hotels at fairly reasonable prices, excellent food, good flight connections to most all parts of the world, Oh yeah, a few bumps in the road>yellow shirts close airport, however; no tourists or expats were hurt or kill to my knowledge>old red shirts block the ASEAN Conference>again all tourists/expats were pretty must left along a little inconvenience but otherwise all ok, our host in Viet Nam, Malaysia(to many towels heads for me)Hong Kong, Cambodia have a lot of work to do to get on par with Thailand. Oh well just my old Thailan Hand bias Opinion.

Will be travelling to Roi Et next month and looking for some accommodation. I was there late last year and stayed at a place I think, called the Petcharat Hotel, it had a big swimming pool and was reasonably priced at around 600 Baht per night. I have tried in vain to look for a website to enable me to book, can anyone provide me contact details for this place or any other ideas for alternate accommodation.

Regards

John

Petcharat would be my first choice. Some nice shopping near by also. Nice eatery near by. A Tesco Lotus in town for the past four years

They have disappeared. Maybe they don't like the Thai dramas that my wife watches all night?

Hey they will be back, they just went out for a Commerical Break. Rat Bait or a Very Hungry Cat, no Garfield he is to fat and lazy

Yes, get all the extra/accessories you want than offer this a cash price, CASH is the Key.

Why? Some might really want to leave the Profession, but that Lure on easy money from a rich fat old farang will reel them in everytime, this is a Fact my friend like it or not

Hey you broke Farang Husband Rule 101>never go shopping with your Thai wife, give her the bloody baht and send her on her way. You got everything you desever, luck the Aircon in your car didn't break on the way home, wise up be an old Thailand Hand, we would never go shopping with the wife.

Stalking is my first thought! Do Thailand have a Anti-Stalking Law, my guess is no. You/she should make a police report(to his superiors) or you or one of your good Thai Buddies could fix his up with a pretty sweet young thing(maybe two) and the dude would be to tried to stalk anybody. By all mean if it's over she should cut all contact with the guy.

Received yesterday via email:

Dear Valued Members: On behalf of Thailand Elite, we are glad to inform that our members whose Thailand Elite 5 Years Special Entry Visa had expired can start reapplying for it under these following conditions:-

Prior to your preferable date of Thailand Elite 5 Year Special Entry Visa Reapplication at least two weeks, please provide us your certified copy of valid passport (with photo page), expired Thailand Elite 5 Years Special Entry Visa’s page of 1st application and transferring case (if any) for the Immigration checking process. After having the Immigration approval, our Member Contact Centre will reconfirm you the service date accordingly. At that time, the information of your valid passport and Thailand Elite 5 Years Special Entry Visa of 1st application would be written into the official letter that we issue to the Royal Thai Embassy, Royal Thai Consulate-General and the Thai Immigration Bureau to kindly provide you the visa. Without this letter, the visa would not be granted unquestionably.

There's more to the email, but you get the idea. Finally a little good news for Thailand Elite members!

What is the price tag on this Elite 5 years visa(?), more than this old cowboy can afford Im sure.

My thought is yes, no worrying about who is driving your car running your business, etc, even better if there is no wife or friend(s) in the picture. Now having said that the Wat thatyou choose is Very very important, because some Wat are very easy going and do not stick to the basic rules, i.e., allow TV, Video games, even card games to name a few, one Wat near me, I saw 10 year old Monk cleaning the outside area puffing away on his cigarette

For me it all depend on the SERVICE

Look likes the Mafi MOM has move-in ti take control of her operation, you can seek help from police; but my guess she has already paid this OFF, you might have a well to do Thai friend made a phone call to a police inspector outside of the area, other wise, just give Fat Mom and her gang a wide wide BERTH for now.

YMCA some Dancing Queens there

Ok lads

Here is the facts,,, i was in Sunee tower today and was in water park in 3hrs from 2pm and it was fantastic,,no one there until 4pm,, and even then no problem.

but i'm a bowler,,and bowling alley is now open in there as well,,70thb per game and 30thb for shoes(one time fee)

there is also option to buy 10games for 450THB so thats sounds very intresting,,so when im doing,,im heading there tommorrow at 4PM for 2hrs any one wanna join??

thack are Bunswick track,well oild until 34Ft and when i check the oil it was not so thick...see u there

Great, go for it stud let us know when you bowl a perfect game(with proof/pics with lane manager etc)

Unfair, lies maybe but the reason, kinda like what you see is what you believe, now having said that in most western countries how many 20 something young women will you see hold hands and all but making out in public with a 60 year old or even older, not many, true these are bar girls and it a way they make a living for themself, the children the Thai husband left behind and other family member, however the key word here is PERCEPTION Nuff said

Proof of address on 90 day reporting, Hmmmmm a new one for me. Rent receipt for renters, so for those that own(wife own) I guess a certify letter from your Embassy that you live at this address.

Smoke it out, kill it, call someone to remove it, whatever get out from under your house, these thing have babies to, just think one morning one of the little rascals slither inside your house while you are setting on the toilet, no question you would finish your main business quickly maybe with a bit of a mess or worse still one slither into your bedroom, WOW enough already just do the wise thing a remove the thing by whatever means.

Scam abound all over the Internet, just had to deal with one myself today(see thread)Anyway glad you were able to clue the SIL(sister-in-law) before she got in to deep a few tears down better than crying a river over a deep lost later

80-100km per hour is about right for this old cowboy, 120 once in awhile just to clean out the Carborator
