Air Asia will not be happy - they have been trying to get on this route since they started

I see red.........Split Enz

Just been on a trip from Korat to Ubon then along the river to Loei.

There wasn't one passport check while anywhere up here they are part of life.

Jok is perfect for the cold mornings, like the last few days

Mangosteen for me.....anytime

Wow!!

SEA games in Korat (Nakorn Ratchasima)................

That is the centre of the athletic world. :

The center of the athletic world it may not be but as a Korat resident I am very happy about the Sea games. Korat received much needed improvements and a face lift. They now have painted lines on the roads-they've fixed most major pot holes-they've installed highway lights----and last but not least, built a really nice stadium which is supposed to be open to the public once the games is over.

Come down and watch the games. It is quite entertaining. I rather watch athletes compete for pride and fun (and a little profit) than those who are paid millions and bitch about the game.

Ski.....

They also painted the railway station, looks good.

I couldn't find half these places. Most of the resorts are more like motels, but clean & ok places to stay

About 20 years ago, a world war 2 movie was dubbed into the local language, the allies spoke Thai, the germans E-sarn.

We booked tix before with Tiger & got email confirmation.

Last week we booked again but still no email. Is the email no longer part of the booking?

I did get an email confirmation I recall 4 mnths ago but the seat I reserved by paying extra was not in the confirmation. You'd better email customer service. That is if Tiger has this.

To one of the posters in this thread who mentioned Valueair. Jetstar and Valueair collaborate on flying the SING-BBK-SING route. So, a plane from either company can be used.

I tried to ask at the customer service desk at the budget terminal in Singapore about the lack of email. The woman refused to speak to me.

The flight was ok, same as any plane.

Mountain .................Good Charlotte

Top North is on the main road on the left side about 150 meter before the border.

The hotel Gonzo is looking for is the big one that also has a buffet lunch.

Sorry, I don´t know the name but it is not Top North.

Hmmm I am now interested in finding out which hotel it is. I don't normally stay overnight at Mae Sai preferring to come back to CM or stopping at Chiang Rai if I have the time.

Buffet lunch? Did I miss that in Gonzo's post or is that additional information? Could be worth checking out if I head up there in the near future.

Ok I am starting to guess now - and wonder if it is the King Cobra Inn next to the King Cobra Guest house. It is closer to the border on the road that parallels the river

If u stay at the Wang Thong tell them u r interested in buying jade

Sorry to hear about Brians passing.

He ran a very successful business. Seemed like everyday the house full sign was out.

Rest in peace

We meet at the food court.doesn't mean standing around waiting

These buses have been running since the airport opened

There is supposed to be a boat from TAK BARA direct to the islands [ask at Sungei Golok]

Otherwise cross into Malaysia get a bus or share taxi about 2 hours

Thats better anyway as its shorter from Udon to Nong Khai than from CR to Chiang Mai.

If thats the bus that goes to NKP you may need to go to another bus station in Udon to get a bus to Nong Khai.

thats great!!!!!!!
