"santisuk" Village

[BlzBub]

Santisuk -- I think I spelled it right. Does anyone know how far this village is from Khorat; if there's public transportation that serves it; whether there are hotels. Any tidbit of information would be great!

My buddy is falling in love w/ a girl who says that's her village so he wants to go visit. I'm asking these questions to decide for myself if I want to come along. Thanks.

The only Ban Santisuk I'm aware of is near Chiang Rai towards the Myanmar border - a bit of a hike from Khorat.

Well agreeing with last poster at the moment Santisuk Chang-Mai area

Thats not to say there is not one in the Korat Province, maybe the spelling is slightly wrong

Actually this is where I live in Khon Kaen, well done with correct spelling.

Ban Santisuk is about 2km from the airport, when you come out of airport and get onto the main highway go about 1.5km and after the Jet garage take next left towards army base/golf course and hey presto you are in Santisuk.

What is the girls name as missus might know her ?

Thanks for the replies everyone!

KK Boy... thank you for the info. Since you mention airports, golf courses and such then it's likely there's some hotels nearby. I'll Google Khon Kaen to learn more about the area.

My friend calls his GF 'Ot' or something similar, he tells me it's a nickname. Neither of us know her lastname although she's told him in the past. At least she says she'll meet us at the A/P in Bangkok.

I'm lobbying to rent a car in Bangkok and drive to Santisuk so I can tour the area... what do you think of that idea?

Aloha.

BlzBub,

a lot easier to fly from BKK as about 450km drive, 50 minute flight about 2200 baht OW, Khon Kaen quite large city and plenty of hotels also plenty of car hire places too.

gotta agree with kkboy, flying and renting is best option unless of course you want to stop in at a couple of places along the way.

You could visit some of the locals in surin, but be carefull they bite

I actually live in Ban "Santisuk" But i am no where near Chiang Mai!

The Ban Santisuk i live is actually in the Udon Thani Province, And is located 55K From Udon itself , we are around 6 kilometres from Bandung which is our nearest town!

You better ask some more questions to try & fathom out jus which Ban Santisuk she is referring too mate!

[khon kaen boy]

agreed Up2ubar,

I think a word with his girlfriend is required to find out exactly where she is from Udon or KK ? even Isaan ?

copy her id card and post on here... all will be revealed...

[BlzBub]

I think it's clearing up! I'm not sure why she refers to her village as Santisuk but when my friend received a letter from her I found part of the address to say Soeng Sang, Nakhon Ratchasima.

So... she does live in Khorat. I've asked my friend to ask her or her friends if there are hotels in her village. Maybe I'll get an answer albeit I've asked several times in the past and didn't get one.

Anyway... anyone know if there're hotels in Soeng Sang? Is it a good idea to rent a car in Bangkok and drive to Soeng Sang or should I look into renting one in Khorat.

Thanks in advance... again.

Probably not the best advice

Blzbub,

actually remembering what one of the guys told me last time home was that santisuk means peaceful in Thai/Laos so maybe that is what she means
