Somdet and Kalasin, good to live in ?

Maybe for CM as their budget is probably higher than the immigration offices in Isaan. In any case according to Sakhon Nakhon Immigration, the property has to be a government building which is currently not in use.

For me, I don't mind the yearly drive to Sakhon Nakhon. It's only an hour away, and since they are far away they rarely come and visit.

My husband and I would move from Khon Kaen to Kalasin except for the fact he likes having the Thai office immigration close. It is my  understanding, Kalasin does not have an immigration office. Where do you have to go for immigration services? 

Unfortunately those of us living in Kalasin are forced to go to Sakon Nakhon for our Immigration Services...  But according to the Head (Lady) Officer in Sakon Nakhon that is going to change to a new office in Kalasin within the next 3 to 4 years...

 

For now it is usually only a once or twice a year trip to immigration for the yearly extensions, as we all do our 90 Day reports by mail...

It was explained to us that the Local Government not only pays for the Immigration Office space but also the wages / compensation for the Immigration staff...

We offered them land next to BigC for a reasonable price, but they refused :) Too bad uh. Seems like Yang Talad is the only place with an available government-owned building (police station) that would accommodate the immigration office.

If you drive the By Pass road heading towards Som Det, you will see the Huge New Government Building which is being completed on the left side of the road...   It is our understanding that most, if not all, of the Government offices will be moved to that location once it is completed..  And that it is possibly the intended location of the Immigration Office if and when one is opened in Kalasin...

I've heard that there is an office in Maha Sarakham. This is much closer for you. I've copied a post from another site.

For anyone required to or wanting to do their immigration business at the new Mahasarakham Immigration office, it is located on Hwy 23, 5 km south of the Hwy 219/Hwy 23 intersection. It is located on the north side of the divided highway and just south of the PEA (Provincial Electric Authority) building. There is also a u-turn located within 100 meters of the entrance. GPS coordinates are: N16.137914, E103.247840. The entrance road to the property is easily missed, so drive slowly. There appears to be a single small 2 level structure about 200 meters in. I was told the site was (and may still be) used as a firing range training facility for various police departments, though I couldn't see any facility for that purpose. A known good telephone number for this office is 043 971 278, but have a Thai speaking person make the call and take any information with a grain of salt. TIT after all

The hospital is absolute dogs hit I am sorry to report and management of one department is so dire I'd have to think twice about getting my budgie ephanaised there if he croaks. 

Seriously you walk in that place your already 50/50 survival. Have a look.
