Any particular authors you'd be interested in and I will do ? I could include a full list but it would take a while to sort through and type up and only really worth my effort if someone is seriously interested.

I spent the majority of my working life looking at a computer screen and refuse to do the same looking at a Kindle or whatever now and remain a book lover for my reading. I have not counted but have in the region of 100 paperback books requiring a new home. I don't want anything for them apart from covering any costs to move them on. If anyone had books they would exchange that would be good. Books are all fiction, crime, thrillers, adventure type stories by largely well known authors. I am currently living between Pak Thong Chai and Wang Nam Khiao south of Khorat. Get in touch if you're interested..

Thanks Joe and Neeranam ...

Hi all, My (Thai) wife is in need of a new passport and the last couple of times we have been to the office in Khon Kaen to get one as this is just a couple of hours away for us. Does anyone know if this office is still there, roughly behind the old central bus station, and opening at the moment ? Whilst not an overly exciting place, compared to the village we are in Khon Kaen is the big city and it would be nice to have a couple of days away whilst doing the necessary. So as a follow up, are hotels (usually stay at Roma), bars, street food stalls, etc open in Khon Kaen ? Thanks for any help ...

Cheers. I'm booked Suvarnabhumi to Khon Kaen with Thai Smile. The Roi Et flight would have been air asia.

Thanks Jeffr2. I will be back in Thailand on Monday, all being well, and have a domestic flight with Thai Smile booked for Wednesday morning.

I'm guessing this would have been the 'pink' bus company and I'm told they aren't running at the moment.

Yes, good call sapson. I have never flown Thai Smile so they're not an airline that comes to mind but having checked their schedule they still appear to be offering a suitable flight to Khon Kaen including the 20kg baggage check-in. I can get picked up from Roi Et airport by a neighbour but he wont come to Khon Kaen but I could, usually anyway, easily take a local bus to complete my journey or even splash out on a taxi which I have done on a number of occasions before. I usually use Sahapan Tours buses from Mo Chit to my neighbouring town of Phonthong but was leaving buses as a last resort at the moment although not yet ruled out. Will give it some thought today and book something in next few days. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion

Well, yes. I dont find them too reliable in my experience though.

They're telling me that they wont carry any luggage other than <7kg carry-on at this time. Usually extra baggage can be bought when booking tickets but this isnt currently avaiable.

I will be coming back to Thailand in a couple of weeks time and doing the one night in Bangkok hotel before being released into the community. I will have a <20kg suitcase with me, as well as a <7kg carry one, but have just discovered that the only flights from Don Muang to either Roi Et or Khon Kaen at the moment are carry on, ,7g, baggage only and no check-ins. Can anyone make a suggestion for a reliable delivery to my house for a suitcase ?

Its no wonder its being over run at the moment. Browsing around different forums, how many people have gone to the site 'just to have a look' ?

Times out, times out, timed out .... obviously being over run at the moment

Because they can ...
