Thanks to you also UbonJoe. Afetr 19years being here I should have circled the date for sure. Thanks again guys. Have a great day.

Thank you very much Mario2008. I forgot to circle the calendar last time out.

I just noticed that my Non-O (based on marriage) Multi Entry Visa is about to run out. Is Nong Khai allowing people to exit and then re-enter on the same day, or are they making you stay overnight in Vientienne?

Thank you very much ubonjoe.

I appreciate the quick response.

Where I live, 66 Km outside KKC, they grow cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelons, corn, yams, cassava and peanuts. Water is needed of course, except for the peanuts, they need very little each watering. Another fact about peanuts is that it replenishes the nitrogen in the soil where rice eats it up. That is why they are always fertilizing with nitrogen pellets and other stuff.

Just my two satang worth.

The software company has released a security update that shuts off

the desktop feature out of concerns that hackers could get into a user’s

system.

Microsoft has issued a security advisory

urging users to install an update that disables the Sidebar and Gadgets

features on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems due to a

potential security vulnerability.

The security advisory warns that a hacker could get into a users

system through an insecure Gadget running in Sidebar, execute arbitrary

code and wreak havoc on the system. The Sidebar, as its name implies, is

a section of the desktop real estate that lies to one side of the

screen. Gadgets running in Sidebar are various tools, created with small

amounts of code, which a user can see at a glance while working on

their computer, such as a clock, the local temperature, a news headline

feed or a stock ticker.Gadgets installed from untrusted sources

can harm your computer and can access your computer's files, show you

objectionable content, or change their behavior at any time,

I can't find Phak Ket, what larger town is it near?

Actually, Sirikit Heart Center has no website, but KK Ram should be able to tell you.

Here is their website

66 kms NW of Khon Kaen, 300 bhat/day. When I moved up here 18 years ago, it was everyone help each other for free, good eats and lots of fun. Now...people won't even talk for anything less than 300. Lots of things have changed, but this is one of the saddest.

True still has it here in Khon Kaen. Channel 78

What is this for a mysterious "river in the underground"? Where does it come from, where does it go? Can you provide a link to some information? Thanks.

Here is a link for you. This is what the "river" consists of.

Here comes another storm, Tropical Storm Banyan.

If the link does not work, it is http://www.wunderground.com/

then click on a city in Thailand. After it loads, there is a listing of tropical storms at the top.

Seventeen years of bliss, a few minor spats (as all good marriages have. I wish you all the best, congratulations and enjoy. :jap:

I just extended my Non-Imm O (marriage) for another year. The money had to be in for two months, and also they added another paper to be filled out which I have never had to fill out before. It is the police check, which is written in Thai and has all the questions you would need for a police check. Mothers name, fathers name, how many children your mother had, how you met your wife, where, etc. I had my wife fill it out and she was quite confused on some questions such as what I do at home. She wanted to say I worked at the farm, or worked in the village (helping around mostly), but I said don't put "work" anywhere.

There are key shops on every street in Khon Kaen. Take your pick.

Fairy Department Store has several. Big C has one downstairs.

The road from Nong Rua north to Phuwiang is closed due to flooding. Maybe open tomorrow afternoon...22 Oct

My wife left today for north of Khorat. She is stuck in Khorat and hoping to get a bus to Phimai where her uncle will pick her up and drive her north from there. I guess it's a real mess and the waters have started to rise in some other areas.

I have deleted Kaspersky before when the download did not totally download. As long as you have the activation key, etc, you can download again. Sometimes not all the files get downloaded.

Saying this, I am running Vista and prior to Vista, XP. Don't know about Win7.

Hope you have good luck.

If the garbage collection service isn't in your village, talk to your phuyaiban and ask him to talk to the kam nan, who is the

lowest official appointed by the government. I have lived in my village on/off for 16 years and we finally got garbage collection, 10 Bhat/month. Patience is a virtue.

Sometimes when you get to the Laos border, there are a lot of people who don't know what the heck they are doing or supposed to do. I have found it a lot easier to get the visa in Khon Kaen prior to going. That way all you have to do is get the one entry form at the border, fill it in and off you go to the passport control booth. You don't have to line up behind everyone who thinks it's okay to shove their way in front of you.

This is only my opinion after living in Khon Kaen province for 15 years and doing the visa run many, many times before I finally got my O visa.

No problem. It's better if you are in the right hand lane pretty quick after the light. Sometimes it's hard to change lanes when the light turns green.
