October 20, 200718 yr Hi, I spend about four months of the year in Nakhon Phanom spread over five visits per year. I still work in the UK as not old enough just yet for my pension. I rent a house there with my girlfriend. Just returned to the UK a few days ago, return flight booked for 21st November. Don't know if this qualifies me as living there or not, but a frequent visitor for sure. Regards Mr Conrad
October 20, 200718 yr Hi Brigante7, I live near Nakhon Phanom but actually in Sakhon Nakhon province, in Kusuman village halfway between Nakhon Phanom city and Sakon Nakhon city. I still have to work so I do 2 months at work 2 months on leave, due back around 20th December. Why do you fancy a beer?

October 20, 200718 yr Author Hi Brigante7, I live near Nakhon Phanom but actually in Sakhon Nakhon province, in Kusuman village halfway between Nakhon Phanom city and Sakon Nakhon city. I still have to work so I do 2 months at work 2 months on leave, due back around 20th December. Why do you fancy a beer? Hi Tubber, I've not moved to NP yet but my wifes family come from there and we are planning to move there in the next 12 - 18 month. I'll be in NP on the 7th February for 4 nights and if you are in the area and you have time then it would be great to meet up for a beer and maybe exchange vies on many things. I don't know the area very well but they live directly across the highway from the airport but we'll be staying in the River View hotel. I just wanted to get an idea of how many ex-pats if any, were living in the area, feel free to send me a PM and we'll see if we can get something sorted out Take care Carlo

October 21, 200718 yr Are you anywhere near Siisongran? Have a nip with Jimmy Jimmy, where exactly are you? Are you near Thalae, I have seen road signs for Siisongran just can't remember where. A nip sounds good, drop me a PM if you fancy it.
October 22, 200718 yr tubber wrote I have seen road signs for Siisongran just can't remember where. There is a crossroads about 15-20 Km outside Sakon Nakhon on the road to Nakhon Phanom which takes you to Si Songkhram, I think it is road 2132, but not sure. Another way is off the Nakhon Phanom - NongKhai road about 10Km north of Tha Uthen. Hope this helps. Regards Mr Conrad
October 22, 200718 yr Cheers Mr Conrad that does help, JimmyCA isn't too ar from me so if either of you fancy a beer when I get back in December send me a PM. Brigante7 drop me a PM and we can get something sorted out and have a few drams in February.

February 6, 200917 yr I recently moved to Renu Nakhon with my wife. I see a few farang from my car or bike but haven't met anyone yet. Anybody out there??
February 6, 200917 yr I`m 45 mins approx from both Sakhon Nakhon and Nakhon Phanom would like a meet up some time with others members in either place if anyone is up for it. I know the thread is old but who`s still around?
February 7, 200917 yr Hello, I have been visiting Nakhon Phanom several times. It is a very nice place with a few nice bars and restaurants. And I always like to walk besides the Mekong. In september I will return. At that time my house will be finished in Ban Nungpraduk: a small village, 20 K from Nakhon Phanom. I will live there with my girlfriend, her son and my brother. So two fresh farang from Holland will join the expat-community Kind regards, Marcel de Korte
