I suppose the Road Tax sticker and the CTPL sticker on my car window mention the expiration date and not the start date?

Near Phu pa man national park about 35kms west of chumphae
The OP might mean Si Chomphu, a little bit east of Road 228.

Where can I take things like an old broken fridge and an old washing machine to (in Thailand in general, in Ubon particularly)?

So as far for a lunch buffet it is back to the Laithong Hotel, I guess?

I have just had a live chat with Air Asia about the Ubon-Chiang Mai flights. One might think a live chat means you get your information quite fast. Well, it t
ook about half an hour to get this answer: (The re will be flights) "SOON".

An online representative will be with you shortly. You are number 8 in queue. Your wait time will be approximately 10 minute(s). Thank you for waiting. <BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">

Today I wanted to try out the lunch buffet at Sunee Grand Hotel, because on Wednesdays you pay one and get one free. That is what I read on the website anyway.
Arriving at the hotel's restaurant I was told they didn't have a lunch buffet anymore. We decided to leave. Instead we had a quick lunch at Jeffer Steak in City Mall Ubon. I liked what I got, and so did my wife.
Afterwards we visited the Water Park. Normal entrance fee: 50 baht. On Wednesdays only 20 baht. There were less than ten people.

A big new shop opened some months ago just on Chayangkun Road (Road 212), just across the Ring Road on the right side, on the way to Amnat Charoen.

Reductil really works. But, yes, it really is forbidden, certainly in Europe and USA. Abbott, the company that made Reductil, has stopped producing it ever since.

On this website you will find the tel. numbers and taxi rates:
The meter drop will start ticking at 30 Baht and then according to mileage. If you call for pick up there is a 20 Baht service charge.
I read somewhere they are not allowed to wait for passengers at the airport, but you can always call for a taxi to come to the airport.
Anyone already has experiences with Ubon Taxi?

Just received this update and extra info from Sunee Grand Hotel after enquiring about movies with English soundtracks:
"Actually, SF Cinema will show film with soundtrack, 3D.
I think every week. Please apologize for misunderstand.
It’s will open on December 2011."

This was just comfirmed by Sunee Grand Hotel: SF Cinema will open in November 2011.

Your original post #70 implied that TomTom LIVE, or at least the local search with Google portion, was working in northeastern Thailand. Is that the case?
Yes, it 's working in northeastern Thailand. I am in Isan at the moment by the way.

So you have a TomTom GO 750 LIVE with the GPRS receiver chip coded to accept signals from the Thailand mobile phone system. Interesting. Where did you buy the TomTom?
I bought the Tom Tom in a shop in Belgium. The Live services I ordered online. In Belgium and some other countries the package includes up to date information on road works, traffic jams, speed cameras, petrol prices. The service also suggests other alternative routes in case of road works and traffic jams.

Don't you need to be connected to the internet via computer to download a Google local search.
No, you don't have to be connected to the internet via a computer. You are connected via the satellite system Tom Tom uses. You do have to pay for the use of Google Local Search.
Chris
If you are referring to the GPRS receiver inside your TomTom GO 750 LIVE, that is the same technology a mobile phone uses (SIM card) and is not satellite based.
I stand corrected. This is how it works:
How does LIVE Services work?
TomTom LIVE services are 'live connected' services. This means that information and updates for each service - such as the latest traffic information, or weather forecasts - are sent directly to the SIM card of your TomTom device. So you don't need to activate anything and don't need to connect a mobile phone to your navigation device.
(So no need of internet nor a computer)

I use a Tom Tom 750 Live in northeastern Thailand and it works great. I also use Google Live search on it.

Just a faint hope -- maybe during the second week there will be? Elwood
Nope, I just checked the schedule for 25 July: all movies in Thai language ...

Let's hope that SF Cinema City in City Mall Ubon will have English soundtracks once it opens.

Do a search for Nevada Complex. When you click on the link you will be taken to a general page for all Nevada Complexes. Look to the left hand side bar and click on Nevada Ubon. When you reach that page look in the left sidebar again for movies for Nevada Ubon and you will get the information you need.
I found it. Before I only looked at the English words on the sidebar. To see the movie schedule one has to click on a Thai word ...

I have been trying to find the website with the movie schedule of Nevada cinema complex in Ubon. Anyone knows the url?
