RIP Ron.

I understand that his body is currently being held in Udon General, awaiting some sort of official release.
Attempts have been made to contact his son in the UK. They have not yet succeeded but are ongoing.

As soon as there is any news on the funeral front they will be posted here..

'Tea bag Ron'. The name I new him by for over 10 years , was very much part of the Udon ex pat scene. His visits to town became less frequent recently due to his declining mobility, but whenever we met, a lively chat was always forthcoming. He will certainly be missed. Condolences to his family.

Terribly sad news. One of the first people I met in Udon when I arrived. Played for my pool team (as well as others) and was always good company. I have been away from Udon for a while, but he still kept in touch. Such a loss to all that knew him. A real Gent. RIP Ron.

To anyone still not too sure as to the whereabouts of the temple. Go to the main road which leads to both The Kinnaree, (off to the left), and to the President Hotel, (off to the right). The temple is to be found on the right hand side, near to Dan Mak Kan School, ( sorry, not sure of the spelling).

Well that was disappointing. Myself and others unable to find the Wat.

According to locals spoken to the co-ordinates given were of a private house.

I used the map Bob Helm posted then looked on google maps for a online version.
Had no problem finding the Temple it was where Bob Helms map said it was.
Anyway Ron had a good send off attended by about 25 falang friends.

If you wont say it Timmy, I will. The directions from Bob Helm were not helpful.
1. He did not name the Wat. The photo of a plaque on the wall was useless. This is an English speaking forum. Not Thai.
2. Two different map co-ordinates. Click on the link for the second one and it pin points a private house no where near a Wat.
3. Mats post naming the Wat was more helpful but unfortunately posted to late for those of us who do not log on every 5 minutes.
