hi guys, i am looking for information about a holiday visa for my wife. I am asking well in advance so i can hopefully sort it out. We are thinking of visiting my son at christmas 2019. As he lives in the Isle of Man, i know the British embassy has to contact immigration on the island, and they have to contact my son for verification that we will be staying with him. does anyone have any idea how long it takes for these things to be sorted out. And also the cost of the visa, and if we have to go to Bangkok to apply for it. Thanks in advance for any imformation.

Thanks for all the help guys. my friend has found a technician in surin to fix it.

He bought the box in the uk from amazon, so can't return to them

steve the box is brand new. it was working perfectly until he i presume pressed a wrong button. it still starts up bust just needs re-setting.

cheers mate

Firstly let me say i am asking a question for a friend, and i have no knowledge on the subject. He has got one of these android boxes for his tv, and it was working perfectly, but the other day he was trying to store something ( i think), and he lost everything. Does anyone know if there is anywhere in issan he can get it fixed. He lives just outside Sisaket, so Ubon to Surin areas would be ideal. Thanks in advance for any help.

I remember when Hilary said that half of Trumps supporters where a "Basket of Deplorables" and there was outrage. I think that the only person that treats his supporters, maybe not as deplorables, but definately as total idiots is Trump. He realises that  whatever he tells them, they will absolutely believe, and so he spews out lie after lie, and they get more outrageous each time. He then doubles down on the lies, in an effort to stir up his base.

But his performance yesterday, whilst stirring up his base, was probably the biggest spur to the Dems to come out and vote, and i can see them now taking control of both the house and the senate. The GOP must now be thinking which way to go, do they risk going against him, and losing their seats, or also doubling down on what he says, and riling the dems in their districts.

One last point, his excuse about mis-speaking has probably made him look like the biggest dummy in the history of the USA, but obviously it was intended to stir up his base. All the news channels in the USA are focusing on him saying i used the word "would as against wouldn't" as in the qoute "And i have to say that i can't see any reason why they WOULD interfere" That is not the word they should be concentrating on. If he was going to repudiate Putins denial then surely the statement would have been"BUT i have to say that i can't see any reason why they wouldn't interfere" just my thought, and i am english not american.

ok so maybe someone can tell me if he sells what i am looking for, here goes

, suet steak and kidney puddings

corned beef or cornish pasties

roast ham

mushy peas

fresh farmhouse cob loaves

meat and potatoe pies

oxo cubes

thanks to anyone who can help me

by the way ubonjoe he is blocking calls to the phone number which i find a bit strange.

i was wondering if it is possible for someone to send isaan bakers pricelist to me or even display on here

Well sadly not for me, and i guess there is no e0mail contact on there.

tso310, did you notice if there was a e-mail adress. i just keep getting a blank page on the website.

does anyone know if the Isaanbaker has a e-mail adress. He is still not accepting any telephone calls. I am having problems with my f/book, so can't send him a message.

dilligad went on facebook and his page is ok, but no pricelist on there

Dilligad, is the isaan baker still open. i went to his web page to get a price list and the whole page was blank, and when i rang him they said this number is not accepting any calls.

dilligad, really don't feel the need to apologise to the place in sisaket, because evrything i had there was not good. and i was also not the only person who thought so. i recieved a few private messages from other people who also agreed with me. i still don't know of anywhere that i have eaten a pepperoni pizza that uses pineapple just to make it look full.

Does anyone know where i can find a chiropodist in Sisaket, Surin or Ubon. I really need some treatment. A normal foot massage can't provide what I need. I was told that some of the private hospitals may have one. Would appreciate any help. Just a side note i am also in desperate need of oxo stock cubes (not joking). thanks in advance guys.

I have to go to Rayong for a wedding next weekend, and am travelling from Sisaket. I was wondering if there is anywhere in Rayong that sells english type foods, that is bacon, sausages, pies and other things. I would appreciate any information. I will be staying at the "Golden City" hotel, so if there is anywhere i would also appreciate directions from there. Thanks in advance for any help.

This is just another example of how Trump views his base supporters. He regards them all as idiots, and feels that no matter what he tells them they will believe him. But maybe he is right, and the vast majority of them are idiots.

In reply to "youreavinalaff" no I don't think I"m hard to please, I just enjoy my food, and if I don't like it I will always tell you. And as for saying that if you had to take some meat out of the "Burirampiemans" pies so that you could put a couple of tablespoons of gravy into them, then i think you are "avinalaff". If you slice the top off of one of his pies, then you will see that there is plenty of room inside to put a bit of gravy.  But although I am not a fan of his pies, I don't think that they are inedible, as are some of the pies that I have eaten in places like Bangkok and Pattaya, in fact I would say that his pastry is probably better than anywhere else in Thailand, it is just that for me his fillings are dry, or let's say to dry for me. I and will always say that his suet puddings are the best I have had in Thailand, and I would also recommend his mushy peas lol. And on one last point, I don't think that me asking a guy to change his recipe just to accommodate a couple of pies for me would be fair.

Santisuk, yes my comment about the meat and potatoes pies was a bit tongue in cheek, although i am now aware that there is a australian guy in Jomtien who is producing such pies, and i am told they are great, i think the shop is called "Tinnies", but as i don't really like Pattaya, I don't get down there much these days.

 One last thing i didn't know that the "Farang Connection" had closed, but sad to see, and l'am also glad to know that "Starbeam" is still up and running. If i had the choice of buying a bar in Surin, then the one with the best location, but also the best layout would have been the bar facing the speed disco, I think it was owned by a belgian guy. It had a really good long bar inside, and plenty of room for tables and would have been ideal for a sport/music bar, sadly he had it full of cases of belgian food and you had to fight your way in past about a thousand plants outside the entrance. Anyway end of my rant, but thanks to all who have made this enjoable post.

Let me just say something here. Firstly I will always say well done to anyone who tries to make a living cooking western style food here in Thailand, but also especially in Issan, where ingredients are difficult to source. Sadly as i have said the food at the Hong Kong was well below par, not just the Pizzas, but also the pies that we tried, add that to the fact he served "Crinkle cut Chips" and that just about killed it for me and my mate.

 But he is not the only one struggling for my vote. For a long time people used to tell me how good the food was at the "Farang Connection" in Surin, when I tried it, not just once but twice, I found it to be very poor, once when the legendary " Martin" was alive, but also after he passed. The only place I found even half decent food in Surin was at a American Restaurant, I think it was called either "Starlight, or Starburst", but even that was as I said only half decent, but he disappeared after a few months.

And even the guys that supply food here in Issan, struggle to produce good food. The "Burirampieman" supplies most things, and I have tried a lot of them, my verdict. The 2 best things he supplies are his " Steak and Mushroom Puddings, and his Honey Roast Ham". The rest of his pies are below average, although I will say his "Corned Beef Pasties" are pretty good. Then we come to "Staffords, and as with Burriram,his pies are all devoid of any moisture in the filling, that is no gravy.he is also very expensive.

God why can't I find a Meat and Potatoe pie in Thailand that is made the same as the world famous "Hollands Pies" back in the UK. Where the meat is minced, and cooked with finely diced onions and a rich gravy, and then mixed with mashed potatoes, and a beautiful crisp pastry. So that when you eat them they are tasty and moist, not cluggy and dry.

Anyway nothing more for me to say, and before anyone tells me to go back home, I can survive with my own cooking, I can cook almost anything pretty well, but I cannot, even after a million attempts master pastry, if I could I would probably make a fortune selling my pies lol.

Well sadly i have to report that firstly my friend was very underwhelmed with his pizza, as was I. As i said i took mine uncooked, tonight i put it into a hot oven, and usually 10 minutes or so, would see it perfectly cooked, but i could have left this in the oven for a couple of hours and i don't think that the base would have cooked, it was completely raw. And both my friend and myself asked the question of why would anyone who knows anything about pizzas, put pineapple on a pepperoni pizza. i think i have only ever had pineapple on a hawaian pizza. So i don't think that we will be returning to peters place, but maybe we will give the pizza at barco's a go.

A slight adjustment in my comment, the steak fries i get from Makro are 10/20mm not cm lol

Well, finally made it yesterday. A bit of a mixed verdict. Firstly we both ordered a pepperoni pizza to take out. My friend had his cooked as he was eating it for his tea, I had mine not cooked, and i put the box straight into my freezer, and will cook it saturday night, when i am watching my beloved manchester city lol

.

Anyway back to business, there were a few things on the specials board, and we both decided to have the "Steak and Ale pie with chips and gravy". The pie itself, the pastry was nice and a decent thickness, at the first taste i must admit i found it a little bit strange, not like any steak and ale pie i have had before, but i guess that must be because of which ale he used, maybe it was the dark lao beer, i also found it a little sweet tasting. The beef was nice and tender, and what i did like was that there was plenty of moisture inside the pie. I always find that the pies i am able to get here in Issan, from Staffords in Prasat, and the Buriram pieman are always very dry inside. Altogether once i got used to the taste i found it a pretty good pie.

But now my pet hate in any restaurant, crinkle cut chips, i just don't like them at all, i find they seem to absorb too much oil. I am sure he would be better using the 10/20cm steak fries that i get at Makro in Sisaket, a much better product and probably the same price. He said he does other pies, like chicken curry, chicken and veg, and egg and bacon pie, so will probably try one of those next week. Anyway all in all not too bad, my friend liked his meal so i guess we will be back next week sometime.
