I would like to get a passport for my thai g/f, can this be done in her local province capital, or bangkok, & approx how much, how long the process.

thanking you songhklasid

I saved my mia-noi from the demons of pattaya,she now lives happily with family in isaan, the family welcomed me, I explained my situation, #1 thai wife in australia,I visit #2 as much as I can,it's all good. albeit a bit of a balancing act, ah where's that lotto win.

When & where & who are the blue shirts, they appeared out of nowhere to stir the trouble @ pattaya, Thaksin paid thugs? The only good thing out of it there might be some splendid deals done wiyh the young ladies if you are lucky enough to be in country @ the moment.

regards songhklasid

I thinks the stage is being set,thaksin demise is nigh he will get back to thailand o.k. but in a wooden box, but then again I could be completely wrong, as I have known to be before, the next few days will be interesting

Thanks men, looks like its a honda dream/wave, 125cc is a must, just 1 more question what is the difference between the 2, manual start o.k ,disc brakes o.k,

regards songkhlasid

My wife is mad keen on purchasing a new step-thru, although we dont exactly need 1 @ this point in time(not retired & living in L.O.S. just yet) she is paying a good portion of it so it looks like it's on. The traditional honda 90 step-thru with basket, so we both can use it was my idea, or is yamaha a better option, do you have to run engine in ? can I buy manual in english so I can maintain it.

open to ideas & suggestions.

kind regards songkhlasid.

your'e only as old as the one you feel.

The roof vents common in aust are colourbond steel "whirlybird " type , they spin freely with the breeze, & suck out the hot air thru ceiling vents in the room ceiling as we all know hot air rises.I think together with large eaves, tinted windows, concrte& tiles, roof insulation, you should get a cooler house with or without air-con. Is their a home mart in C.M. I take it thats a hardware place, good I also need big rubber mats for the bathroom tile floor, before someone breaks a bone, SLIPPERY.

regards songkhlasid,

feel free to comment, I,m all ear's.

Anyone know or has had done roof insulation/ & roof vents installed in greater chiang-mai area? or a large hardware store where I can buy same , any input appreciated

regards songkhlasid.

Does that mean that the A380,s will start @ auckland-sydney, then on to BKK. I just bought 2 tickets for wife &son syd-bkk for $1417 aus,they use to be 777,s that might explain availability of cheap seats, keep it coming.

regards songhklssid.

Personally I prefer the free seating, you see the thais scramble to get a seat @ front of the plane,I probably get on next to very last, & enjoy a row of seats to myself ( air asia) what annoys me is the size of the hand luggage, I 've seen bags the size of my month's worth of travelling as onboard carry on,& little asian manhandling same , if I try it I'm up for excess weight. Anyway T.I.T.

Sorry I asked the same question last year, but cant't find it in the files, I want to take my thai mai-noi from ubon to pakse in laos for 3-4 days visit, she only has i.d.card. I beleive there's a bus from ubon right to chong mek. can anyone recommend accom near national park/ waterfalls outside pakse.

thanking you in advance. (probably late july trip)

My favourite has evolved from this, khou tom pla(tuna) sai kai, gap kratium. Which is rice soup with a can of tuna,egg, onion, ginger shredded mushroom, with grated garlic, & coriander, chilli flakes of course, no wonder she calls me the walking mongrel.

best regards songhklasid.

here a two decent hotels in the centre of amnat.............the best one is called faikid hotel (signs in city giving directions) good rooms and they do a nice dinner, the other hotel is called pj hotel. There are many resorts around amnat with small one room houses, the best one is hotline resort where accom is basic but clean and they do good food. You can find more info on the above if you google these names.

thanks for that,I dont suppose it has a pool ? the faikid sounds the go, my g/f comes from senangkhanikhom, can I rent bike easily in A.C. I'll be there in july candle festival,? does A.C. hav there own version or is it happening in ubon, anyway thanks for the tips,if your in the area at that time i"ll buy you a yen singha

regards songhklasid.

Does anyone know the name of a resort type accomodation somewhere near the big budha in Amnat Chareon, thanking you in advance.

regards songhklasid.

I'll be spending more time in ubon, on my next visits to thailand (#2 resides in amnat chareon) & staying @ laitong works out a bit pricey if not carefull. I was wondering any advice on rooms/ apartments for short term stays, or other hotels,prefer pool, any info /comments welcome thankyou

regards songhklasid.

I've recently been spending time in ubon, & what a friendly place it is , cars actually stop & let you cross the road, ( well some of the time) good cheap local restaurants,sightseeing trips,peace & quiet, after 4 days in ubon, I travelled to BKK what a shock.

regards songhklasid.

I'm glad you had a good time in Ubon.

A nice city it is indeed!

I hope Bkk wasn't too much of a shock..........

I'll be back in ubon hopefully june/july, We would like to visit your farmstay, I beleive 1 can visit the thai/camb temple now, is that right?

I just completed 60 hrs thai language course @LC language school soi6/1 pattaya, I completed this over 3 trips 18 months @ a cost of 18000 baht ($ 600 at the time) have a certificate, my 1 on 1 teacher recommended a book called thai for beginners by benjawan becker, dont be fooled by the title, It is indepth, with 2 cd's & I'll buy 1 more to leave in my house in thailand, I listen to the cd's in the car,& can recommend this product.

My favourite is pornping tower,near the river, comfortable,aircon, bigbed, breakfast, good swimming pool, about 1100 standard room, just enquire about shower tho, not sure on this one

regards songhklasid.

Will be in lovely ubon in february, & was wondering if the disputed temple ownership issue thai/camb border has been sorted, or has other issues stole the limelite.

best regards songkhlasid.

Anyone know number Nakonchai- air bus company, this is V.I.P. bus, does it operate from morchit ?, thank you for any info

regards songhklasid.

Absolutely horrendous numbers,together with the debacle/ fire in overcrowded niteclub, wth blocked or know emerg exits. A BIT OF SAFETY /COMMON SENSE WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN THIS COUNTRY,NOT TO MENTION THE LIVES SAVED.

regards songhklasid.

I tried to book a hotel @ ubon on thai visa website, it was competitive other places ,I was going to try it out,but nothing available, ah well look on the bright side less falangs.

regards songhklasid

Thanks for the information, I'm on a 30 day visa issued on arrival from australia, If I go to laos early in the trip, I will only get 15 days on re-entry is that correct,if so that could change matters, thanking you again for info. regards songhklasid.
