Decent Beef Massaman, for NE, better in the S of course. So many other choices. https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Maeya/@17.4038992,102.7901783,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipNKvrmCS-8eTEaa8AcIVMJOw4VMsEwpfatKmysW!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNKvrmCS-8eTEaa8AcIVMJOw4VMsEwpfatKmysW%3Dw129-h86-k-no!7i2000!8i1333!4m22!1m16!4m15!1m6!1m2!1s0x31239d71fd478089:0x2432222306bdcf33!2sMadame+Phatehh+2515+(Tumruaj)!2m2!1d102.7888715!2d17.4076318!1m6!1m2!1s0x31239d71fd478089:0x2432222306bdcf33!2sMadame+Phatehh+2515+(Tumruaj),+34%2F1-3+Tumruat+Rd,+Tambon+Mak+Khaeng,+Mueang+Udon+Thani+District,+Udon+Thani+41000!2m2!1d102.7888715!2d17.4076318!3e0!3m4!1s0x31239dabd4e6628d:0x50eac5ad0a2e69d7!8m2!3d17.4039607!4d102.7902129

One of my last photos of the ducks having a family outing ... actually pulled of a drone vid from 2015.

I'll actually be up there next week ... not by choice ????

OP sums it up for me, in 'farangland' Udon, especially #3, and guessing hung out around Soi Samphan/soi Slum. Poor choice of area, and not very representative and the many good things there at UT. If you're only going to waste your time in farang areas of the towns you visit, you're wasting a trip to Thailand. Did you go to Nong Prajack park for an evening ? Did you go to Tawan Daeng ? Have a nice meal at Barco/Prajaktra Design Hotel. or Dose Factory ?

Agree completely. ALTHOUGH ... 1 charge on Thai roads 300+ kms is more than enough time for me to call it a day. Or, as I've stated 1 or 10 times, that charging, coffee & pastry, walk the day stop would truly be welcomed, when out & about. Then continue on after top up, or settle in to the hotel. My reality, local driving, since moving to new digs, and my daily (unnecessary) routine is 12 kms a day. Which is to the park with dog, cruise surfside, to make sure it's still there & return. On the E-MB, was keeping track and went 3 different routes, out of curiosity, and almost exactly 12 kms each way. Started test at 3000kms, logged after trips; 3012/24/36/48 ... yea, 12 kms. Add a couple kms to pull into the Makro driveway, actually on the way, and my mandatory / unnecessary driving is less than 15 kms a day. Which I could actually do once a week, in the EV car & stock up, but that would be boring. Local out & about, exploring within 150 kms of home or 300 per round trip, so charging at home & no hotel. Which we don't do now with the ICE, as nothing worth spending 1000-1500 baht for local sightseeing. But with the EV, we'll be doing once or 3 times a week, till bored. Charging at home with solar. Hua Hin is 100 kms away N, Ban Krut is about 50 kms S. Furthest of interest; Kaeng Krachen NP area will be 325-350 kms R/T, N'ward & Chumphon about the same S'ward. Any further and we'd be overnighting anyway. That aspect of the EV, local O&A, is what I'll enjoy the most, besides the less expensive long distance out & abouts. I should be able to make it to my daughters on 1 charge, at Krung Thep. Off course, if a working stiff, over the road driver, then no, pushing 400 kms a day, then BEV may not be the best option

May not have had the green screen tech/CGI, but did pretty good back then, faking stuff in movies. Consider when King Kong was made. Here's a few from the 60s: https://www.filmsite.org/visualeffects8.html

Not so little - comparatively: Neta V ......... L 4070mm ... W 1690 ... H 1540 Swift .............. L 3845mm ... W 1735 ... H 1495 MG 3 ...............L 4055mm ... W 1729 ... H 1516 Mazda 2H ...

Correction (384 kms) ... from the current Neta V (Thai site) https://www.neta.co.th/th/product/Neta-V After 3-4 hrs on Thai highway, that top up stop will be very welcomed. Some coffee & pastry, then (for us) sort out hotel, or already at the hotel. Others, may want to keep on keeping on for another 3 ish hours, NO THANKS.

@ 3:30 in the vid ... pay attention ... 'we must solve these challenges before we can send people through this region in space'

For those that prefer to believe...

Mines also for life, as I just needed to update address, and no charge for that. I'll have to return in couple weeks to updated again, due to name change. That will be the last time. A little forethought, and could have done both at same time ... ????

Moon landing, UP2U ... I'm not a believer. Photos supposedly from the moon, FAKE

"The Neta V is a battery electric vehicle equipped with a Lithium-ion battery delivering a range of 401 km (251 miles) rated by NEDC"

I just updated my pink ID, and you need your PP. Me-Non-0-marriage ... PR ? though would think same, PP.

No, this is bored ... looking for inspiration from FB

The pretty photo sucked me in for ฿14 ???? 1/2 gram does the trick ... so all of ฿7 for a buzz that lasts a few hours with a very peaceful sleep throw in. Now 3 hrs of exercise to work off the munchies ... F'me ????

Leadership at it's best. Is anyone happy with any of theirs 'leaders', or embarrassed and have no respect for them ? World is in a sad state ... som nam na

Maybe a lighter sentence for confessing, as common practice.

I haven't seen a movie worth paying the 2000 matinee price of $5 (USA) of late. Can't imagine spring $15/20 buck for this krap. Sad, I even stopped going to Thai cinemas, all of 80-100 baht on Wednesday, days past, and had the place to ourselves almost. And only bothered for the big screen action, space movies. Even they were a let down, with few exceptions. Prequel/sequel/remake/CGI ... ???? Torrents just fill in down time.

Gets a bit silly doesn't it. Guess all the Euro scum should leave the Americas, Africa and Middle East, as they weren't native either. The southern terrorist in TH, are murdering scum, and will kill anyone. Preferably educated, sound familiar, Buddhist, Muzzies, civilians ... they don't care. Terrorism is big business, nothing else. And that's for both sides. Money to be made and a great distraction. It's all history, UN/govts have agreed and drawn the boundaries. Join the 21st Century. My great great great great great great great great great great grandpappy shat on that piece of dirt over there, all that property is mine .... PLEASE

32 down from 33C ... feels like ... HELL I just adjusted the AC, freakin' cold @ 27C low (auto) fan ... ???? Yea, it's on all day, If I'm not in, the dog is. Though sitting in the shade with the breeze isn't bad at all, as long as the mozzies aren't out.

Too crowded and looks like most beach access is blocked by resorts ... NO THANKS

Had 3 Mazuma products, all c r a p. Electrolux fan now. 8000w ... good for making coffee. Had that German brand at 1 house, 8000w, excellent, and yes, would brew tea at closest faucet. That one unit, served kitchen/2 baths, 2 at distance, and water came out nice & hot, if needed. Definitely nice when nearing 10C outside.

Lotus worse of the chains. Shop almost exclusively at Makro (only chain alternative). Unless up at Hua Hin, then we'll pop into Gourmet Markets @ Bluport. Always something on sale, or a nice steak at 'U Hunt/We Cook'. Fruits & veggies at local fresh market, about 50/50 w/Makro, since FM not having.
