Well went to Farang Connection yesterday, great place.

Spoke to Lampard about splitting Forum at the moment to costly to achieve this, so put on the shelf for now.

My advice to all Burriramians (BUMS) is keep posting in the Issan Forum with all you Burriram stuff and see what happens.

This particular thread had died a death so no more weather reports etc.

Just to add...........I am all for splitting the forum. Or was till they told me my sponsorship would be twice as expensive. No , joking aside, the admuinistrive costs would be high. Maybe though we could have a lower Isaan sub-forum.

And Mac, what do you mean 'died a death' ?. I've just logged on to see if it's hot in Buriram

Coming from the Prakonchai direction.

Pass the Post office, pass the Police Station, (both on the left side of the road) pass the Amphur, pass the hospital (both on the right) when you see the Suzuki shop slow down and turn right just before you get to it.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday... stop behind the blue Mu-7 ..... other nights stop when you see the dog with unfeasibly large testicles

Don't let it die at this early stage as i am a soontobe Buriramian and enjoy a visit to see the various postings as you have woken the Farang's in the Buriram area up

Hi, I would like to join this forum.

I read it often but never replied because my English writing is not that good. (I am a Flemish Belgium ).

I live in Buriram for 4 years now. Everybody is welcome in our fishing park in Buriram ( Between Prakhonchai and Prasat, about 5 km from the 24)

You can find our website on the FC website under the name Time Out.

I will try to reply once and a while. Succes with this forum.

Hi all,

Back in the land of happiness. I have been busy since I arrived home early 09, but settled in now. I have caught back up with the Isaan & Buriram threads today, accept the current situation in regards to a specific BUMS thread, but also re-iterate the message to use the Isaan forum to keep the BUMS in touch with each other.

LUDO............great to see you respond...............you are one of the guys who, like my cuzz in FC, have tried to put in place a focal point of association for us Farangs. This has not always been supported to the extent that is deserved and all on this Buriram thread should wake up to this important fact.........your services require support, especially from the committed BUMS!! As for your english LUDO, well there are not many on this thread, forum, or throughout the Thailand Expat community who can speak several languages rather fluently.

Maybe I will come across quite seriously on this particular answer, we joke and p**s about with our words and answers quite a lot, but without tthe likes of LUDO and FARANG CONNECTION links in our Buriram lives, well our availability to contact local expats if we so wish would be much more difficult.......give these locations your full support..........this is not an advertisement for my cuzz or my good friend, .....I never get any special fish and chips or any discount on my Tetley's.......although if I speak highly enough this maybe will come about!!!!!!!

I have not forgotten the gang in Bahn Kruat also and I have promised my pal Thaddeus to arrange a cross villaage Farang visit..........let's all stay in touch...........

Why no broaden the horizon nit noi.

Let's have a cross border gathering every 2 months, or when ever suitable??.

One in Buriram (can be at Time out) one in Surin (FC), one in Ubon (Suan Loong Daeng Farm Stay or Wrongway Cafe) or any other place that I dont know yet

This way we can link more faces to the TV names, meet new friends, learn more about other Isaan areas, and get more variety (if needed) in our lives.

Bergan that sounds a good idea but getting people to leave the nest is hard.

Welcum aboard:

Going to have to organise a meet each other get together.

Where abouts in Burriram

macb

I asked the wife for the names over the phone last night, not sure if I get these right, but....we purchased 7 rai @20 minutes outside Buriram City in Ke Muay or something like that. My wife also has a 1 rai lot in Ban la.

I fly to BKK 2 SEP and the wife and I will be in Buriram @ 5-7 SEP.

Given the limit of English phonetics when trying to type Thai...... I really hope that isn't pronounced as it could be.

Depending on which road signs I checked our 7 rai plot is in Ku Mung or Koh Meung. The 1 rai is in Bang Wa. sound familiar to anyone??

[macb]

Must look se how this quote thing works grrrrrrr

Hi all

A big hoo ha going on at the moment over visa exemption, but surely this is not a problem for anyone with long term interests in Thailand.

Why not just get the appropriate visa ie Non immigrant O or Long/stay retirement.

Have I missed the point if so what am I missing?

What visa's you BUMS (Buriramian) members currently on and is this tightening of the rules going to affect you?

TBWG

PS For the met office it might interest you to know that we are getting all your monsoon rain in the SE of england at the moment, and yes I agree, you can't dance!!! whistling:

[Well I think everyone is losing the plot about this visa bussiness, as I said in a reply to one of the visa topics. you get a smallstory and its made into a soap opera. I do think everyone os pannicking over nothing, yes those tourists that are here and keep Border hopping have now got to tow the line. I personally am on a Retirement Visa so I am not worried and before that I was always on a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa. You got our Monsoon lol As for dancing well the girls like my pole dancing hahaa]
