    Kalasin: where to stay or grab a beer?

    in Isaan

    Posted

    I heard there is a farang bar in Kalasin called Scotts Bar. Maybe a FB seach might show more details???

    Scott's Bar is pretty much opposite the bus station in Kalasin. Stand with 7-11 behind you and look forward, you will see the sign (scotts-kalasin.com). Plenty of hotels around that area and near the lake (a short walk from the bus station) around 400-600bt per night.

    PM me if you fancy meeting for a beer.

    Has anybody heard of "Excise Duty" What is that ?

    Thanks,

    Is it a battery? If so it's probably a tax levied on batteries due to the possible environmental impact (or other reason)

    Former police volunteer tests positive for drugs, case goes to Phuket public prosecutor

    in Phuket News

    Posted

    Think he's probably getting nailed hard , and right so .

    He had a public function as a touristpolice volunteer , he should be a helpinghand and and example for society .

    If he is innocent and its a setup I feel very sorry for him ,

    Can you provide the evidence to prove his innocence ? If so, I think you should let the prosecutor know.

    Really, it's just another example of a wannabe who deserves what he gets.

    Maybe she was employed as the 'manager'

    One of my ex-colleagues was a restaurant/bar manager. Earned a lot more than 30k

    I'm not saying she was the manager, but that's how the work permit was obtained.

    Ah, you can read Thai?

    Strange question, not sure why it's relevant.. but I can with a bit of effort, although my vocabulary and understanding of tone rules lets me down.

    Short visit ! Certainly not long enough to truly learn something about life outside of tourist-hubs.

    Nevermind, OP will not qualify for a retirement visa just yet.

    Cheers

    From the OP to my private inbox?

    Here's your private post, readable for all. I don't want to go down, where you- obviously- already are.Please never page me again,

    P.S. Be happy that i don't know where you are. I'd show you an old man's skill.

    is that understood?

    I live in Kalasin,

    Mossies - If their house is a brick house with no visible gaps at the top (between walls and roof) you will be probable be fine without a mosquito net, as long as the room you are staying in is clean and kept shut during the day/evening - a spray an hour before you go to bed will also help.

    If the house is an old wooden house, then there are normally lots of gaps for the mosquitoes to get in (even if the downstairs has been bricked in), so in this case I suggest a net.

    Yes, take them shopping if you can. Sure, you could go to Tesco Lotus, but that's kind of a farang place. Take them to the central Kalasin city market. They'll find everything they want there and have fun, and you'll find the visit quite educational

    Bullshit, the family will prefer Tesco/Big C than the local market.

    You will find Kalasin quiet but fun, and if you need an English (Swedish, German, Norweigan, Welsh) conversation or some comfort food go and find Scott's bar by the bus station (stand outside 7-11, with the shop behind you and look forward, can't miss it). If you need a friend please feel free to PM me.

    Good to know that there're people like you, totster. Will page you when we're near Kalasin next time. A good and healthy Songkran to Kalasin from Sisaket.-

    Please do ! Hope you have a happy and safe Songkran !

    Prachuab Khirikan to hold alcohol free Songkran Festival

    in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News

    Posted

    Anyone who reads my post will know I am very pro Thai and very seldom knock any of the but this Veera Sriwattanakul must have sh!t for brains.

    They would be as well putting a sign up say Please Break The Law because no Thai who likes a beer or six will pay the least bit of attention to this unless they are in dager of being caught..

    They would need an army of police to enforce this so why not use that army in another way.

    Don't ban drink use the don't drink and drive laws they have already.

    Set up road blocks and breathalse the obvious............they aren't that hard to spot.......a load of youngsters in the back of a pick-up. Obviously you couldn't breat test everyone.

    A campagn saying no one will be able to drive through Hua Hin during Songkran without passing a breath test will make them think twice about driving at least driving back drunk after a day on the booze...

    If they don't have the manpower to do that then hey don't have they manpower to check the hundreds of places that sell drink.

    I'll give them 5 for trying

    I haven't read any of your posts, including this one now (well, I read the first line and didn't bother with the rest)

    Smoking on Nok Air

    in Thailand Travel Forum

    Posted · Edited by Totster

    You ARE joking, I presume? Nobody has EVER died from so-called 'second-hand smoke'. That is one of the biggest cons ever perpetrated on the world, and has been comprehensively demolished.

    http://acsh.org/2013/12/two-stories-one-link-found-secondhand-smoke-lung-cancer-one-seems-care/

    I read the article you linked to. Then I read the following:

    http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/2289.aspx?categoryid=53&

    http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/tobaccocancer/secondhand-smoke

    http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/healthyliving/smokingandtobacco/passivesmoking/smoking-and-cancer-secondhand-smoke

    http://www.webmd.com/smoking-cessation/effects-of-secondhand-smoke

    http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/secondhand_smoke/general_facts/

    My conclusion? There is a good chance I will survive being hit by a new car travelling below 30mph. Funnily enough I still look both ways before crossing the road and don't think "Oh, that's a lovely new 5 star NCAP rated car travelling below 30, here I go". Same here, I accept that the links might be "weak" but even this article still admits a link. I quit smoking 12 years ago and have looked after myself VERY well since then. If smokers want to ruin their lives they can but I don't want the "risk" of cancer from 2nd hand smoke.

    Back on the point this pilot has a HUGE duty of responsibility, is paid accordingly and has demonstrated that he is not deserving. If the OP has decent evidence then I suggest he push this for the safety of the 100s of 1,000s of passengers who choose Nok Air each year.

    Actually, the article that 'nisakiman' linked states that the risk could be lower than thought, it does not support that posters 'fact' that "Nobody has EVER died from so-called 'second-hand smoke'."

    Kind of makes their post worthless, irrelevant and downright stupid.
