I located an unused (recently) drag strip just north of the city by air. Took a while, but I was able to get there by truck. It looks like it has not been used for several years. Does anyone know the story behind this facility. Rather cool place to visit. It is about 2 or 3 km due east of Do Home, n...

Dear Pal52: I am glad that you enjoy this course. There were about 6 caddies who told me and a Thai lady we were playing with that I could not play in this shirt. There was no miscommunication. You are, in your opinion, the master of golf and etiquette for Udon and we all will bow down to your posit...

I used the driving range t the Nong Sam Rong Army course many times and wanted to play the course with two friends the other day. They would not allow me to be on the course with a collared, button down business shirt. I was told that I needed a golf/polo shirt. If the caddy allowed me to play, she ...

The only real hobby and R/C store that I know of in Udon is Note Hobby on Sri Chom Cheun Road. He has a reasonable amount of cars, boats, helicopters, drones and planes.

Hope this helps

I want to report back to members. Thank you for all your responses. We purchased several kilos of pork ribs from a lady at the back of the Ban Huai market in Udon. We talked to her several days in advance and confirmed our order the night before we wanted to pick it up. We paid 140 baht per kilo. Wh...

Many thanks to all who responded. I will definitely check out your suggestions.

Cheers

After having BBQ'd some fine pork ribs in the USA this summer, I am looking for a source to buy good pork ribs in Udon. I looked at Makro and just as I have been told, what I saw was racks of ribs which have been striped of most of the meat. I want some baby back or St. Louis style ribs with lots of...

Is there any interest in rescheduling for next weekend ?? The 21st or 22nd ?

Thanks to all for the responses. We went to the Army base yesterday and used the driving range. It was fun. I agree with the suggestion about not playing this course for a while due to the amount of water. When guys talk about tips for the caddys, I have a question. Golfers pay for the caddy (200 to...

I understand that some guys are very serious about golfing and I full respect that. But I am not in that group of people. I have golfed occasionally in the USA and have a basic understanding of the rules and etiquette. My reasons for golfing are primarily having some fun and getting some exercise an...

With the recommendation and help of a British friend, I visited a tire shop in downtown Udon, a short distance west of Makro. We talked to the owner, a Thai man with lots of experience in the tire business. We talked about Michelin, Yokohama, Bridgestone and Goodyear tires. He felt that Michelin tir...

I had Phil come to my house 2 days ago and try an android box. I have True ISP and it seemed to work well. We have had a little loss of streaming and are considering changing to 3BB ISP. As far as the box, it is wonderful.. Hundreds of channels and programs are available. It takes some learning to u...

Thank you all for the time taken to respond to my thread. One question that has come up that I do not know how to answer is that tires made in Thailand, be they Michelin or Yokohama or Bridgestone may be different than those made in other parts of the world. I don't know if this is true. Does anyone...

In Udon, I found several offers. Michelin Lattitude Tour for 5350 baht each. Bridgestone Dueler for 5000 baht and Yokohama Geolandar HTS for 4500 baht each. There are small perks at each shop, oil change, alignment, etc Does anyone have experience with Yokohama? Is the extra money for the Michelin w...

On all my returns to the US from Thailand, immigration officers were polite, cordial and professional. Except this last trip, which was the first one for my Thai wife. When she applied for a Tourist visa, she told them she wanted to visit for about a month. We then changed plans and decided to stay ...

Thai citizen applying for a US tourist visa. Fee has to be paid at Krungsri Bank. Is there a form that is required to give to the bank? When you fill out the paperwork online, you can print out form that tells you how and where to pay for services. Take it to the bank and they will take care of it....

Has anyone heard where the Outreach will be held and what times they will be available. Nothing on the US Embassy website as I can see so far.
