And working at jobs reserved for Thais !!

Looks over substance every-time.

Perhaps the best looking ones could be dressed up as Army/ Police/ Immigration and other lack lustre operations on a rotating daily basis.

Presumable Immigration will be closed on 28 July, Kings Birthday.

Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya, change trains for Nong Khai .

http://www.thailandbytrain.com/

Train to Khon Kaen, then bus (about 2.5 hours) to Roi-Et.

tonray: thanks for that,it's exactly the sort of information I am looking for.

The line runs to Ubon in the East and Non Khai in the North as you know so it's a case of what is worth going to on either/ both of those routes.

Hi all,

I am planning a two week return trip by train from Chiang Mai to Issan in November.

Looking for tips on what places to visit, where to stay/ eat etc.

Many thanks.

' Why then did they say, no need to update after travel in Thailand? "

Cos they are keen to get your 1600 at a later date ?

What potential is it that the writer wants to unlock?

To become more like the USA or  Europe, where democratically elected stupidity and incompetence are at a premium, or to fuel the profits of global corporations?

In my view Thailand is OK as it is.

People know their place in a structured society, their view of life is blinkered, they don't worry about things too much as they know they cannot change anything anyway.

Life is about today's food, a smoke, a drop to drink, the family, the soi, the village..... How many people in the so called "democratic" countries would willingly return to the Thai way of life if they had a chance!

Isn't that why most of us are here in the first place.

Thanks for all your very helpful replies.

Thanks again for your time, most helpful.

It's a WAVE 110.

Thanks for that info.

" Sangchai Panich " is the name of the shop ?

I want to get my 7 year old Honda tidied up, spray in various scratches, new twist grips, foot rest rubbers etc.

Anywhere near Kad Farang that folks have used with satisfaction please?

Many thanks.

A siren does not automatically give you right of way.

The pickup driver could be deaf (not part of the driving test) and he was on a green light apparently.

What a truly stupid man he is.

" Police said the truck drove into the ditch in the middle of the road "

As if life isn't difficult enough already!!

" The Royal Thai Army officers and their Myanmar counterparts are exchanging knowledge "

That shouldn't take long, now onto a joint session of "Thai Friendly" and "Date in Asia" no doubt.

I guess they could ask these Chinese guys where they got the 340,000 SIM cards from, or is that too easy?

Jeez, he could be a Catholic priest!

"I put my right hand in,

I put my right hand out,

In out, in out shake it all about,

Oh the Hokey Cokey .........."

Many thanks.

Anybody any experience of how to bid, deposit required etc. etc.

Thanks
