  1. I meant in Nan.
  2. New Nara is a shopping centre/mall. There are sometimes places for rent advertised on a board. Nan is more a word of mouth town. Try south of the Christian schools or between the hospital and the airport
  3. Thais wouldn't advertise online. Best to ask around. Banks may help but more likely just sell. Try in the new Nara.
  4. You may get a better response in the Issarn forum.
  5. Anyone going to see the event in Kampot will be pleased to know that today the province was declared land mine free. Nice work by the de-miners
  6. Koh Kong is a popular destination for Khmer. It will be busy at New Year.
  7. Yes, it is allowed. You need to be the vehicle owner, have insurance etc. There is usually a helper at immigration. They are good value unlike the street worms up at Poipet. If you are moving beyond Koh Kong town highway 48 is under construction the entire wayand the road north towards Battambong is very rough. Worth getting the Cambodian evisa beforehand.
  8. I was told the road will not be finished until 2025. Instead of the road just being replaced the Koreans are taking out any hills and pushing in a new straight road which means removing a lot of soil. Major upgrade
  9. That was supposed to be 48. The highway out of Koh Kong town.
  10. I saw a family of four foreigners today, two kids about eight, walking four abreast along a busy road. Cars lined up behind them. But for how long. Would they do that anywhere else?
  11. The fairly new highway out of Trat is a bit rough. Best to drive in the right hand lane. You'll avoid vehicles driving down the wrong way also. The Thai side of the border is less congested now and there is a separate immigration departure building on the left hand side.
  12. I was there in December. Saw quite a few Thai cars in Koh Kong town. Also in Kampong Speu and Kampot recently. If you are getting a tourist visa best to get the online visa. The Cham Yeam immigration are trying to make up for lost revenue during covid. Asking THB2,000. First price. Negotiable. National Road 4 is being worked on. They are doing all of it at the same time. It's rough and very dusty and lots of trucks moving around.
  13. A full description of the Phu Quoc visa exemption program until 2023 Do international visitors flying to Phu Quoc require a visa to enter Vietnam? It is the first and most crucial question. All nations are eligible for a visa waiver program in Vietnam’s special economic zone of Phu Quoc. Foreign visitors do not need a Vietnam visa for trips lasting less than 30 days to Phu Quoc. Through 2023, this visa waiver scheme will remain in effect. Please be aware that Vietnam only grants visa exemption for visitors who: a/ You must take a direct flight into Phu Quoc. This flight may be straight or may make a layover somewhere outside of Vietnam (not stopover via any Vietnamese domestic airports). The initial entrance airport must be Phu Quoc. In the event that the airline makes a domestic trip via another Vietnamese airport, you must first complete the immigration procedure there before transferring to the domestic terminal to board the domestic flight to Phu Quoc. Therefore, in this situation, a Vietnam visa is needed. b/ You must remain on the island of Phu Quoc only; The waiver of the Vietnam visa requirement only applies to Phu Quoc island. If you wish to visit Phu Quoc and then go to other cities or locations in Vietnam, you must apply for a Vietnam visa. c/ You must stay in Phu Quoc for less than 30 days The Phu Quoc visa exemption is only valid for a maximum of 30 days. You must apply for a Vietnam visa if you want to remain for more than 30 ways
  14. There are some new fake USD 100 notes. Copy is printed much smaller and lighter. If you are using a bank atm go during bank hours. Go straight inside and change to small money. There is a camera on atms in a booth. If there is any dispute they can check the film.
  15. This posters information is wrong/outofdate and was and still is illegal. They are stricter now also
  16. Anyone going to KL or surroundings may be interested in this. https://www.toyboxprojects.com/timburton
  17. They used to bring items into Padang Besar Thailand through the no man's land at the back of the old train station. One man would sit on the wall then pass it to motorbike riders who would race off through the rubber plantation which has gone also. Some unlikely items like onions and cooking oil.
  18. Ao Manao nothing special. Have to go south of Prachuap to find anything ok.
  19. If the OP had a ten year old passport would the new passport with a new photo still be recognised by the face scan? Some people change quite a lot as they age.
  20. Cham Yeam has a separate window for non locals - Cambodians, Thais.
  21. Trains to Bangkok now arrive at the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal aka Bang Sue Grande. There are free showers there. Need to show your long distance ticket to use.
  22. So much for Ream being a secret deleted deep water port.
