    I believe that is the lady who did mine, she has a clinic off canal road

    I believe they have also been releasing water, I live right on the river about three weeks ago the Mikong dropped 2/3 meters overnight, 4 days later Nong Khai was flooded

    How far from Nong Khai? Rains have been torrential here
  4. Expat68
    There are wet seasons and wet seasons. 8 years ago they were very close to issuing stand pipes in Loei province

    Reservoir levels in the cities that I know are 96% full

    I think if you were in Nong Khai you would complain, the worse floods in 50 years

    Getting pretty fed up of it now, heavy rain for the vast majority of September so far

    Not all Thai girls are lazy sponging off their rich foreigners, she liked working there until this happened

    My girlfriend works for a PTT owned fuel company (filling cars/motorcycles) in Nong Khai. During the floods the boss asked her to work double shifts to cover for people unable to work, which she did. I/she was shocked to learn that the boss only paid her 300 baht for what was 16 hour shifts. I really feel like complaining but I know in Thailand the owner is a very rich/powerful man and I am afraid that it could effect my visa if I did

    They forget when COVID was at its highest the communities relied on expats money

    As my girlfriend said we should get the same health care if we pay tax
  13. Expat68

    Actually Nong Khai is a little strange (anyone who knows Knong Khai will know) the road closest to the river floods less than the next road up
  17. Expat68
    Actually not every year, I can remember probably about 8 years ago there was hardly any rain in NE Issaan and they very nearly had to issue stand pipes in my city
  18. Expat68
    Didn't say it was
  19. Expat68
    But not 15 years ago!! Do not panic people
  20. Expat68
    So am I, I have lived full/part time in Loei for 26 years. Everything is bigger in America 🤣🤣🤣
  21. Expat68
    When you say starts in Loei do you mean the province of Loei or the city of Loei because it definitely does not start in the city of Loei, it starts somewhere in the region of Phu Luang which is a number of kilometres south of Loei City
  22. Expat68
    Actually she is half right (you can check if you do not believe me) but Loei River is the only river in Thailand that runs north

    Always keep a bolt hole
  24. Expat68
    Probably but if it does not reach UK tax threshold it may not reach the Thai tax threshold also
  25. Expat68
    I mentioned the tax issue to my girlfriend the other day. Her response was I don't think foreigners will stand for that, she also asked if we will get free healthcare and I said no, she can't believe it
