Foreigners In Si Sa Ket Area

[pab]

Hello.

I am very new to this forum and to this part of Thailand.

In fact this is my first post to the Thailand forum.

I am originally from Australia after working in Asia for 16 years and in Thailand in particular (Bangkok) for the last 8 years.

I now have retired and live in the Si Sa Ket area - Amphur Wang Hin.

Been living with a lovely Thai lady for a long time and we have just finished building our new home. Have attached a photo and as many of you who have lived in Issan for a long time would no doubt already know - this has been an interesting and at times challenging experience.

However, my post is because I am interested in getting to know and meet some other farangs in this neck of the woods.

Hello Pab,

Unfortunaly my wife and me are still living in Holland, but we go "home" twice a year.

Home is about 10 minutes with the motercyc from Sisaket city, following the train track to Ubon R. Ban Nong Kheang it's called, "we"are with 4 of us in the village 1 german, 1 Canadian, 1 belgium and then me the cloggie, but we all live and work abroad as i call it ( home is were your hart is )

In April we will be home (aswell we have to bring dad's bones to the temple), so if you like can drop a mail if we are around.

I know there are more "farang" around who are retiring around Srisaket, the best change to meet them is in Suan Heang mole, and the market in the evening in the opposit of the railway-station, there is a terras were you can sit eat and drink, and most of the time there are at least 1 farang to find.

Hi Pab,

My name is Liam and I probably live a stone throws away from you. My gaff is in Ban Ka Oen, just before Wang Hin. If you are driving from Si Sa Ket, just after the bend in the road at approx the 19km mark there is a small Thai roadside "restaurant" on the left. Our house is just behind it next to the school. You can't miss it - its the green one with the red roof. (Looks better than it sounds - honestly).

Myself and the wife, Chompoo are both away at the moment in Azerbaijan, but we will be back home at the end of January. Drop us a line if you like.

All the best and hope you enjoy your time here.
