Prubangboy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm an Ubon fan. Love that long train ride. Nong Khai second (another nice train ride), Nan third (great bus ride). The rest are a bit blah, but to play: Udon (the only soapie I ever went to), Khaephang by dint of being in the beautiful but unvisited middle, Korat for at least trying to be a downscale Chiang Mai, and Khon Kaen for being a traffic circle in search of a town. I want to see what the towns south of Ayuthaya on the train line are like for a possible relo up the road. I read a thread here about Nonthaburi and every poster had moved two stops north to something else-buri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Asian Hotel -been in some films, beautifully ugly and they have the train link to the airport (without leaving the hotel). Elvis act on Sat night. Muslim area, so double the chill and meat on a stick factor. A sprinkling of Time Out-type restaurants. Like, 2 stops down from Ari.

Lacessit Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I thought the OP's alter ego, bignok, had been all over Thailand. Perhaps this is what lawyers call a fishing expedition. I have probably driven through Kaphaeng Pet without even realizing it. The others, yes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, we laughed about a monger blogger who called KP a secret wonderland of karaoke bars and disco's, teeming with (as yet) untouched good girls. He was game. If he went, we would have heard about it. 'Can't fault a guy who loves Thailand and wants to live in Thailand for asking questions about Thailand. He asks about places where the costs are low and the girls might be friendly. It's a noble but possibly quixotic quest. How is it worse than flogging Cambodia versus PI for the millionth time? I like when someone in Roi Et tosses out a few deets, even tho all the nowheresville's sound the same: "Great wet market, bad pizza, the farang bar closed during Covid". Short version: A done to death topic is still better than looking in here and finding no new topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I never get this thinking, you save $200 on rent and 10 baht on a pineapple. And then you just drink yourself to death while waiting for you wife to turn off the sex.

rct99q Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Live in Nong Khai. Seems the only difference between here and home in Canada is the weather. Go to work. Take the kid to school. Get groceries. Tend the garden. Cook dinner. Do dishes. Do laundry. Catch up on news of the day. Go to sleep Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 2 years ago we were holidaying in Nakhon Phanom and tried to go to Bueng Kan, but the road was closed, so this time we will follow your advice and take the road from Nong Khai after we have been in Vientiane.

I recommend 3 whale rock and wat phu tok. Also waterfalls. Nice area. Relaxed town but I like it. There's some nice restaurants on river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
