  1. I am only 62 kg, so I usually do not have a problem but just occasionally it is the elbows that annoy me
  2. Dedicated path/promenade
  3. Nong Khai far nicer. You can walk/bicycle 12/15 km by the side of the Mekong river. UD has Central Plaza for me that is the only bonus, you can catch the train there for the day, cost 11 baht each way (train station in the middle of the city)
  4. Someone told me that there is/was a major fire in Laos. Nong Khai has also been bad
  5. Don't care what anyone says but all women marry for security and when that starts to get rocky, they start looking for more security
  6. When I was a green horn 15 year old working as a apprentice, my boss (RIP) said to me "the more people have, the more people want". That statement has stayed with me all my life (now 72). I am lucky, I am a happy person, always wake in the same frame of mind every day. Greed WILL eventually destroy the world.
  7. Colonoscopy Loei general 9,000 baht
  8. I just paid mine through the app two days ago
  9. Do you have the 3BB app on your phone? This will tell you when your payment is due, you can also pay your bill through this
  10. Really good post. I left the UK 15 years ago and I have not regretted it for one single minute
  11. My friend who is Thai employed a day nurse to look after her expat husband (came to the house 6 days a week) Don't know what the cost was
  12. Sometimes works the other way. I was in my local and I came to check the bill. I had two red wines, the bill was for 100 baht and I knew immediately that they had only charged me for one, I told them and they thanked me
  13. Won't make any difference here in sleepy Issaan
  14. Different provinces, different people/rules
  15. You are correct but over the years I have had many who you have mentioned refuse
  16. This is a grey area. Just did mine through my bank manager (one very accommodating, the other did not want to know) Tessabarn did one for my friend, immigration possibly. Good luck
  17. You do in the city I live in Issaan, you even get a free glass of water with your coffee
  18. A friend of mine is in exactly the same situation
  19. How do you know if you have UTI?
  20. Each bank, each province have their own rules
  21. These people only go to tourist places (thank heavens). That is why I chose to live where you still have all the amenities without the dross you are talking about
  22. Two thirds of self assessment in the UK "isn't self assessment"
  23. I live in a non touristy area of Thailand. You become a local at the bars and restaurants. Just saying
