Re: Effin Yellow Book

About 15 or 16 years ago, no big problems but took four trips to the office to get it done. Not formally married but with my long-time girlfriend, her sister and housekeeper as witnesses was what made it work. Fee was very cheap - 100 baht or so.

Notice that the path traced through the ski is nearly a perfect parabola. As if it were shot from a gun.

High Quality Oolong tea

Does anybody know where to find high quality Oolong tea, preferably from Taiwan, here in Udon Thani?

Re: Golden Retriever pups.

Puppies are wonderful to have around, if there aren't too many :-)

Are you planning to offer these for sale when then are old enough? Do you have a price in in mind?

Re: Which Bank Allows the Highest Withdrawal

A couple of people whom I will name, but they were grateful to not have to spend the night there, and I was reimbursed later that night.

Re: Photocopy service near Central or Immigration Office

The photo shop is where I get my photos taken for the application. I asked them about making copies and the price was very high because they are high quality and full color copies.

Last year I found a photocopy shop on the 2nd floor of Central mall but they seem to be gone now.

Re: Which Bank Allows the Highest Withdrawal

Years ago, I was able to get 50,000 baht from the Krung Thai ATM in front of the main police station. I think there must be a reason for such a high limit at that particular location :-)

Re: I need part of my concrete driveway replaced.

You're right. The very road that leads up to this one has the same kinds of problems.

Does anybody have a contact number for a company that sells concrete (the kind comes premixed in a concrete truck)?

I need part of my concrete driveway replaced.

I am in Udon Thani, First Home. The end of my driveway closest to the street had been acting strange - separating from the earth under it and developing a hollow underneath for about 10 years. A couple of month ago "it" happened :( . Part of the driveway broke off, and now there is a large hole (I d...

Re: Cost of Covid-19 immunization to Thais

Discussion along those lines revealed that the payment is to be first in line when vaccinations become available. Sound like a scam. Declined to finance it.
Thank you both.

Cost of Covid-19 immunization to Thais

My girlfriend wants me to send 1200 baht to her sister so she can get vaccinated. I thought and read that the vaccinations are free to Thais. I think she is in Bangkok which might affect things. It this just an attempt to squeeze what little money I have left out of me?

Researching builder's reputation

A friend is having a house designed for property just outside Udon.

Is there a way he can check on a builder's reputation?

Thank you for the insight. Not that I relish the idea of sniffing around the septic tank when I detect that smell, at lease I have some information go on.

What's that smell? Skunks in Udon?

I woke up yesterday (Tuesday) to the scent of a skunk in the living room. I had not smelled skunk for decades but once you smell it you can't forget it. The smell was only in one room. The air was fresh and clean in all other rooms and outside the house. By this morning there was only a hint of it i...
