lee, which banks in Udon do international bankers drafts, please?

I just used to go to any post office and pay for a money order when relacement passports were processed in Bangkok. I went to one on Posri Rd this morning who said that they don't do them for Hong Kong, but began to offer me a Western Union form. Not wanting to pay the hefty commission and having no...

I need someone to do me a small favour and get me some velium [yes, that's how it's spelled!]. I can meet you and give you the money in advance and there are no problems in bringing a few strips back across the border. The pink and blue substitutes that they sell in Udon wouldn't put an ant to sleep...

Thank you, gentlemen!

I had a stroke a few years ago and my ability to process and store new information is pretty limited. That and the fact that my Thai wife is off in NZ visiting her sister at the moment. My passport is full and I understand that I need to now get it renewed via Hong Kong and not Bangkok. Can someone ...

Has anyone renewed yet?

What were the total costs, including EMS?

How long did it take for your new passport to arrive?

Cheers!

I had the bruschetta there yesterday and it was great, especially with olive oil drizzled over it. Well worth the 30 baht. If the owner were to hire a local with a motorbike, he could make some decent money by offering a home delivery service. Think about it, homemade pasta delivered direct to your ...

Whatever happened to the Loch Inn?!

Check out Nong Sai if you want to see the smallest of the lakes in Udon!

Nong Sai is probably the smallest of all the Udon lakes!

Farang bars, the market is over full. And overpriced and the same and barely above average. I went to Ubon Ratchathani recently and found a very interesting bar/restaurant that sells qaulity bakery and Italian food but at affordable prices. It was packed out with Westerners and locals both times I ...

i noticed the the so called 'aussie bar', thats the 1 with all the yellow placards around town pointing one in the direction of it, has a piece of paper on the doors indicating it will "close indefinately" this month around the 23rd. also i made anoter post recently about the K & L restaurant near ...

Are you sure about this, my friend? Wasn't there a post on here recently saying that someone's son had been refused another tourist visa by the consulate in Vientiane? Please confirm one and all! My son's marriage has been put back a year and I really have NO reason to go back to the UK until then!!...

I have trouble sleeping but I don't want anything that's habit forming.

Where can I buy I but melatonin in Udon?

I hope that somebody can reply to this thread today!!! :-"

I was supposed to be going back to the UK for a visit and was going to get a non-B from Hull, but my plans have changed.

Is Vientiane still issuing back-to-back double entry 60/90 day tourist visas willy-nilly?

I love Nong Bua!

I don't understand why there isn't a small farang bar/restaurant there that also appeals to Thai wives and other locals.

$o)

Several people have said that it's on the road to Nong Khai, but I am yet to find this place!!

While looking up some info on Thai language grammar today, I came across the following info, that may (or may not) be of interest to those who follow Udon history. Name of author : Mr. Songgot Paanchiangwong Affiliation of author : Ph.D candidate, Faculty of Linguistics, University of Social Scienc...

Stan, FWIW, my sister-in-law hasn't heard of any news of an International school existing now or in the future, unless it's some top secret info she's not privy to. Anyway, she added that there's one classroom of which all subjects are taught in English by a farang. If I hear anything more I'll pas...
