  1. Really depends on their preferences as well as needs. Best spend a couple of weeks looking at areas you’ve predetermined might

    fit you. 

     

    I libe in NE in country and like it but it’s not for everyone with

    limited foreignors / shops etc. Without a drive.

     

    Do some prechecks on the internet and any questions post it

    and some from specific area should reply

  2. I don’t know how big the area is best bet get a local guy with tractor. Have him clear it cost is very low... have a Thai negotiate.

     

    i had dirt tilled and raked flat 1/4 acre 300 baht 45 mins. 

  3. 5 ish years ago I came with group of Chinese not so fun... I was the only English speaking foreigner with little Chinese speaking. 

    It was with a few Chinese friends and other travels. 

    Large bus full .... 

     

    The tour guide spoke Chinese little if any English. Dinner slop at the 

    hotel then out for entertainment with group. Three or four days activities and food all together...

     

    Try a one or two day trip and see if you enjoy it.....  like one of the posts said check with travel agency.

    Bigoted nonsense.  Every classroom has

    seeing a globe won’t  teach about it... In China more than a few 

    people in 20-30s asked where I lived before coming there...

    Los Angeles California... the puzzled look on their face made

    me ask do you know where that is? No not even where California 

    was..

  5. Booked a flight for. Y wife to return from DMK to Udon Thani. Reply said they’d email reservation once 

    the credit card / debit card was approved by the bank. 5 hours later called inquired status. Advised 

    the flight was for wife different last name but I paid.

     

    Ummm is yiur card from the US? We don’t accept on line.. OK how can I pay ? And will you ho,d ticket... no you’ll have to rebook. Go to 7/11 and pay or use this website and you can book by US care.. uhhh No and No..

     

    first time thats ever happened on a 1.5 million miles of flying without being ro,d up front. ... some places

    had to pay cash but out in the nowhere of China.

     

    And to top it off the booking timed out twice and then the third... happy jhappy... anyway. Strange..

     

    when she said it i it I was like what? Uhhh what is yiu say...  but I’ve weakened as I’m getting in a almost 

    older bracket now.. No F... word..l only Fhank you...

  6. In reference to education this could relate to future. As most of us parents know everyday we play a part in our children’s lives as teachers from the day their born. Teaching yes teaching... 

     

    OP said Udon Thani which may be city proper and not a village. My

    3 years living in a village the education system seems it needs improvements.

  7. The changes are difficult if we dwell on them. I’m ok now at 65 not collecting the monies more SS yet ....sorry Social Security US yet 

    but it’s in the pipeline.. Had a fare amount saved and stupidly pissed all well almost all away..  

     

    I can still afford a couple of Dr. Peppers from the Import store up here in the Isaan. Living in the village house land all paid for and hoping the misses learns to hang on to it and enjoy it... 

     

    but that might be a bit of work. She’s in BKK visiting one of her  ore than 3 boyfriends...  Yes I know and don’t give a hoot about it as long as it doesn’t cost me anything...

     

    ok back on track .. I expect in the next year my business that is Sales Rep. Tied to one company their request long ago great money. But bought but a fortune 300 company .... they had a few 

    companies like mine and they did away with the others ...replaced 

    locally cheaper..

     

    I’m the last Rep. standing .., when it goes away it will be a pinch and that’s when you have to find a resolve... Social Security will 

    be too short for the new requirements... but 41 years in the same business Aerospace you’ve made a few friends and when you’re fairly good at want you do... pick up a little work to fill the gap.

     

    i like it up here in the country would guess due to health the battery is running low.. so stick it out a s do what I came for 

    retireish... new word just made it up... 

     

    Have a great day everyday one hand on your wallet it’ll work out...
