boppia Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 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.

boppia Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boppia Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited March 20, 2006 by boppia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phibunmike Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boppia Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 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.

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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
