my friend I

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

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

From Had yai go by train to Sungei Golok. 3-4 hours

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

then get boat out to islands

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!!!!!!!

People who are" refused entry" into Thailand at Mae Sai are given 7 days "visa" then must leave the country. Must get a visa from Embassy or Consulate to return.

a little bit rich from the boys who disbanded the parliament and threatening with another military coup if the election results won't be in their favour.

boycotting farce elections is everybody's right, unless the military would like to force ussr-style elections where everybody had to vote and vote for the ruling party.

200k is hardly big money in politics and this money actually was leaving thailand across the border to myanmar, so connecting it to the upcoming elections is strange

As the money was winnings wouldn"t it have been coming into Thailand.?.
