Nope - use Grab Taxi
I did, but then regular taxis show up, charging regular or sometimes inflated fares. There's no added bonus whatsoever using Grab in Udon/Nongkhai.

BOLT Taxi App

Do any of you use this app in Udon?
I've read good reviews about it from guys in Bangkok and Pattaya.
I'm currently not in Udon so I can't check it out. Thanks!

Interesting news for those who never miss a chance to pedantically point out to others that wearing face masks is futile: Claim: ‘Face masks don’t work’ Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral par...

Re: The Baht

... I was in Pattaya and Samui last year this time of year which is suppose to be peak season, and it was a very far cry from 10 years ago where the streets were packed, and this year the streets of Pattaya are again relatively empty..

Re: HP computer warranty

The HP Service Center is on Thanon Tahan. I went there a few months ago to have my laptop repaired. According to the receptionist she had to call Bangkok to verify if my warranty was still valid and would call me back as soon as she had their OK. Up to now she still hasn't called. But actually I was...

Yeah, still a lot of leverage for gamblers left. They haven't reached the level of the Dutch tulip bulbs in the 17th Century yet when tulips were used as a form of money in their own right, and one single bulb was enough to buy you a manor. :lol:

Re: The logic of the asylum!

I can not see this happenig at THESE rates. Tourism is a big revenue earner, and if Thailand becomes known as an expensive place to drink , backpackers will spend less time here ( and less money) *** tourists likewise. Two huge markets affected. I too agree that the whole idea is silly but, as note...

Scan for skin cancer

I can highly recommend your namesake, Dr Somchai, discussed before in this topic. Go to him and save yourself plenty of bucks. He's an honest and knowledgeable dermatologist and speaks good English.

Well, we've been using Standard for years. Very professional and I've never had any reason for complaint. It is just because of the good reviews about Somphon on this topic, and the fact that we live around the corner from his shop that we decided to give him a try. Of course we're back to Standard ...

Based on the recommendations here my wife called him on Tuesday to come and service our units and he made an appointment for today. He didn'...

Yeah, right! These Monks should take a leaf out of the book of Anglican/Episcopal/Catholic Priests who DO NOT bless inanimate objects.
Or do they? :confused:
