Hi Folks,

6th and final episode

This thread should have been moved to the Travel section a few weeks ago. Oh well

Hope it works for you.

Waiting for the "waaa waaa - this is going to kill the tourism industry in Thailand" posts that usually follow any announcement that there will be a (one day) ban on alcohol sales.

Not sure what surprises me more, that the tourism industry in Thailand hasn't died, despite all of the different "no alcohol" days that happen every year, or the number of people who get so upset over the idea that the government won't let them buy booze on those days (and they apparently are totally unable to buy any in advance themselves). The horror, the HORROR !!

So Wat (Temple ) is the big deal, just take a few bottles home like a good Christen and do not drink and drive

If you are a Buddhist, may the good Lord protect you and please do not drink and drive.

One of the best places to take Panoramic photos if you have a car of this Prachup Kiri Khan bay, but that is another topic, so bike please, ohh yes it means me as well..

Win

The obvious missing item was a travel adapter, you do need a travel adapter if come from the UK!

You know you can buy those here too, right?

You're missing the point there. The adapter you can buy in Thailand is made to adapt Thai plugs to other countries electrical outlets.

To clarify, here's a pix of a British 3-pin plug: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/BritishPlugforWikipedia.jpg

And here's the equivalent Thai version: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Thai_TIS_166-2549_mains_plug.jpg

As you can see, the spacing between the pins is entirely different.

I meant the one for British plugs. Commonly available around these parts.

Thanks for the photo of a British plug, though. I've only been using them my whole life, after all...

Costs me 25 baht (Mingya) Til Ying Type, Multi-Purpose Soeket, fits 14 types of plugs and they fit both of the plugs in the photos by the way

Win and welcome to Kan one and all

Hi MAZ3,

Thank you and enjoy Kan as I have all these years. Just promoting this 3rd largest Thai Province, near to BKK, not just that I really love it, it is that after you leave the hassle of BKK and not to mention Kan Town center itself.

It is a Great place to relax, take in the History of Kan, not just WWII by the way, to visit and see what Kan has to offer.

We do have quite a few Day Trippers in from BKK don't we swissie just for a short time

As for JAS21 photo, that is on the other side of the river from Kan town. Clue = the Mountains in the back ground.

Have fun folks and enjoy Kan as I have and hopefully will continue for many a year.

Win

yes agree it is making you look like a goof

Yes, I know that...

I was thinking about both Pattaya and Krabi....

and had been looking at posts about the ferry that use to go to Pattaya and back.

It would be tough dragging a boat overland.

Tough but not impossible.

Have a look at this link

There is a very VIP bus that I have seen on the road from Rayong to Kan during early afternoon time in Bangkok heading to Kan.

You could ask about this bus at the Bus Station in Kan salavan what time it does back to Rayong as it must pass Pattaya on that route.

Welcome to Kan BTW,

Win

Did you know there is a tiger facility in khao yai np ? Maybe they will end up there.

firstly I don't think they are being moved and secondly there are over one hundred Tigers - do you think they have room there? what sort of "facility" is it?

My guess it would a POW Camp or even worse a Refugee Camp.

Try a Termite repellent spray, the one that really stinks, orange and yellow label with a fine nose sprout that you could spray into any nock or crany , they hate the smell of it as do snakes also, works for me in Kan.

If I remember, will take a photo of this spray can and the other cans etc. that I use to repel mossies indoor and outdoor.
