  1. What will you spend it all on Tissues and DVDs a rather lonely if reasonably priced existence
  2. I think the word Thai could probably removed from your comment without changing the meaning significantly
  3. looks like it hasn't worked out for you several times then?
  4. So the purpose of your comment was what exactly ? Nobody on this thread cares about your opinion humble or otherwise . Do your trolling elsewhere
  5. Great night out in Surin, hence the saying Bai Surin gin Surah
  6. Plenty of those available its the preference for most Thai mongers too
  7. No they haven't all gone south at all there's plenty left don't be starting rumours
  8. TongTarin hotel, bit dated but good location, If can speak a bit of Thai "tawan daeng" has possibilities
  9. The OA visa also requires a criminal record check which I think may even require "notarising" and some sort of medical certificate too, money is also required but this can be in your home country bank account. Never sounded particularly appealing for me for at least one of the above
  10. A lot of the more "mature" ones end up there he might find one like stifflers mum mae somchai
  11. I disagree, many of the larger cities have a few bars owned by westerners ( or their wives to be more accurate)
  12. I'd forgotten about Udon, years since I've been there, not a bad hunting ground, but due to the high number of expats there it lacked the authentic Issan feel in my opinion
  13. Most of them in pattaya may well be from issan, same could be said for Bangkok, Hua hin, Ban Chang Phuket and all the other islands, Further afield they are active in Korea ,Japan, Dubai in fact just about everywhere, Probably Issans greatest export, However there's plenty more where they came from. No need for anybody to worry about that
  14. Agreed, but i preferred the word pedandtic
  15. It is indeed a nation of mummies boys,
  16. Yep in the old days it was indeed a case of "if there's grass on the pitch , Game on" Just as well really coz life expectancy was probably around 30 years,
  17. you have gone to a great deal of trouble to be pedantic ? There may well have been licences but there was no driving test until 1935 in the UK I couldn't be bothered looking at france
  18. I'm well aware of where it is, actually i just remembered I did go there once, about 30 years ago, to a rather unimpressive crocodile farm In what way would I be surprised? is it worse than I think or not as bad? Anyway I won't be going there anytime soon, I tend to stay in issan these days
  19. probably not what he's looking for, but I can guarantee a great day out, ps drinking is involved Lots more stuff like this in issan, Its a world away from the usual tourist ghetto's, Some say the real Thailand I wholeheartedly agree! Just a pity there is no coastline here
  20. It's everywhere, just look for the bright lights or the fairy lights, Khonkaen has a good supply of hairy pie and would be a good place to start, especially for those less familiar with the north east. You shouldn't go far wrong in Buriram or Surin either. I have had many memorable times in Loei too. Speaking a bit of Thai and knowing how to behave is always an advantage, things can get a bit lively out in the sticks, and you may find yourself the the only person with a white face in some of the places , even in the less remote areas. Go for it and let us know how you got on
