If it's of interest and you live close to Mahasarakham a Pub Quiz Night has been started of which the inaugural event was last night.

If you wish to consider participation at future events just check out updates here.

This event is still a 'work in progress' so the format is evolving based on the feedback and age range of the players as we undertake future events.

These quiz nights will probably move to a Tuesday or Wednesday and take place once a month at this initial stage.

Hi Chaps,

Any recommendations for small resorts close to Roi Et? Something within a 5km radius of the town centre?

Something small, but tidy is fine.

Even one of the small 'love inn' type of place is ok, just as as long as its new.

Thanks

Has anyone purchases this band of seat cover?

Does the fastening system work? I can imagine having to reposition the cover frequently with just velcro straps holding it in place.

How long did it last before falling apart?

Theoretically it would be a good all year round solution, but I doubt the quality at a price of THB900 (I have Honda Forza, so that's the price for a cover to fit that)

Are there proven better alternatives you guys have found?

Cheers

Is this festival worth attending or should we not believe the hype?

You gotta be pretty sad and hopeless if he craves the standard faded, passion killing Thai womans bra and panty to his rocks off!

Another feeble attempt just in time for the High Saeson. When will they understand you can't polish a turd!

Once issued, what entitlements are we (as foreigners) granted in relation to the shared property?

Is this book a seriously recognised document that WILL provide genuine rights to a Foreigner in the event of the Thai partner undertaking remortgage or sale of the property without prior signed consent of the Foreign partner?

Brilliant marketing initiative to traders ahead of Macro opening in MSK.

There's a fella here in Mahasarakham who makes really good burger patties, lean smoked bacon and even black pudding.

Smoked fish pie was his latest addition to the list.

All at a price of course, but it's good quality.

The main issue here in Mahasarakham regarding burgers is access to decent burger buns.

There is one new take away place offering 'UK Fair Ground Style Hot Dogs' last weekend as an all you can eat special. Was ok.

Try this..

Have the goods addressed to a friend who lives in a more remote location of Thailand and address it to their Thai partner.

Customs target consignments addressed to foreigners with final destinations like BKK, Pattaya, Phuket etc.

Very unlikely a consignment will be picked out if it looks like a Thai recipient and up country.

Once received by the surrogate consignee they can send cheaply by EMS domestically to you.

Not totally risk free, but the customs donkeys only segregate the 'sure scam' opportunities at a glance usually.

Thanks guys, some good ideas to consider.

Hey Neversure, thanks for the ideas and links.

Got to say the old mixers look great for decoration.

Problem with buying this stuff from Ebay US would be the shipping to Thailand. That makes it very prohibitive cost wise as an option.

I have found one outlet in Pattaya for new items, but I will hold out to see if anyone has to offer secondhand units first.

Cheers

I am looking to purchase the following (as pictured):

- Hotdog Vendor Cabinet

- Twin Stainless Steel Milkshake maker

Ideally second hand units in working good condition would be fine.

Does not have top be exactly as those pictured, similar will suffice.

I am prepared to transport from anywhere in Thailand to Maha Sarakham

Almost stepped on this rascal a couple of months back in the yard

MBK "No Problem" I think third floor?

Still wearing a set of plain black ones I bought twelve years ago - but now they're grey, down to maybe eight since some got holes, but good quality and a very nice sturdy fabric, nothing fancy.
