Southern Isaan Connections

[boppia]

Just curious where posters are. I know this has been done before but things change. So where are you guys or which provinces do you have connections to?

I've got connections to Rattanaburi, Surin but I am working somewhere else.

Somehow you forgot one of the biggest town in Isaan,, Like Ubon???

few of us here, just for a record

[boppia]

I put Ubon and Amnat Charoen together. Amnat Charoen used to be part of Ubon

[Khutan]

Surin for me.

Has 'a' plenty.

[soihok]

Only got a connection with Korat because the missus is from there.

As we dont live there I guess that makes me obsulete,so please ignore this.

[tyler2uk]

5 min drive from cenral Korat and wouldn't want to be anywhere else

[soidog2]

Buriram province, 45 min from Kurat.

[Thaicoon]

4 Kms outside Buriram on the Surin Road, and Mid wales running my Buisiness.

I would guess most of us don't live in Esarn. Right now its just like a getaway camp. I enjoy visiting when I can. It's darn hot up there though. When I spend a long time up there I get bored with the food and want something western. I know that there are a few places in Muang district to get a burger. In recent years, more superstores have opened around LOS so that's good.

Rattanaburi , Surin full time

Hot where , in Isaan?

i have been here since -98 have 1 aircon in my bed room and using that maybe 2-3 days per year,,, and Im from Finland,,,so it cant be so hot

Eddie, we have connections to the same area. What's your favorite restaurant in town? That little Esarn food place downtown near the plant nursery is pretty good. There always seem to be a few cops eating there. I usually have lunch a few times there if I'm in town for a week.

Marco, you must be part Ethiopian. Glad to hear that you can handle the heat. For me when it's hot it's hot and when it's the cold season its still hot but it can get pretty cold at night. What province are you in anyway

I live 2km outside Rattana so only grab something to eat when I'm in town.

Do most of my eating in the village ( Ban Pui Noi )

[opothai]

10 mins drive to centre when in thailand, and the same same

[phibunmike]

I am one hour east of Ubon city.

I am surprised to see Ubon and Amnat Charoen listed as "Southern" Isaan.... is this an offical classification ?

Mike

Now you know why Ubon amnat is still 0 as i didn't register

[boppia]

Well I'm not expert on latitude and longtitude but the map shows Ubon on the southern end of Esarn. Depending where you live in Ubon you may be further south than someone in Surin or BuriRam.

Anyways I'm just generalizing. So where do you think you are?

Esarn is supposed to mean Northeast. The Thai think of Sakaew, CHantuburi, Trat, Rayong, and Chonburi as the East. It's a strange country to map out. I guess if you go by western standards you might name the parts differently.

Ubon is definitely not in the Northern end of Esarn in my book. Eastern Esarn could be a classification.

Here's a link to a map online.

[boppia]

If you can't understand the idea that's okay.

[farangconnection]

Im my recolection Ubon been North-East last like ever....

but what i know,, im only living here

Then why did you complain in your first answer that Ubon wasn't in the poll of Southern Isaan cities?

Well, boppia, I looked at youtr map and you are absolutely right - I had in mind that south of us were one or more other provinces and that we were "central eastern" - but you are right, definitely southern isaan .

It's funny, I am a bit of a map freak and enjoy pouring over maps, I just never looked at one where the provinces are so clearly marked out.

Thanks, I have learnt something - a good start to the day !

[khonrattana]
