Day 2 am I'm still alive and kicking. I think today was more fun than yesterday, it seems it's a little hard getting up in the morning. I'm in in the full swing of things here and for those freezing your asses off somewhere else my sympathy's. Today same as before except I know what to expect and ha...

I'll agree with Zidane that Nong Pajak is ground zero here in Udon. I will say I'm sorry in advance for this post as I am P.W.I. (posting while intoxicated) but hey it's my first Songkran, I'm aloud ;) First off a little warning there is a "Zapper" in the area of Pop Pop's Internet shop and I would ...

Just got back a little bit ago from the lake on the road to Ban Tad, LA will know the place. Great fun splashing around in the lake, now we'll see if I get any infections but I'm so mean I make medicine sick ;) Setting in the back of the pick-up I received a few slashes from our roadside bombers. Lo...

Just had my first preemptive strike launched against me driving the beer moped past the night market. I'm happy to say due to my cat like reflexes I came away without a drop touching me I'm ready for tomorrow so let the games began

Just got back from my border run and it was a little hairy at times and heres what happened. Got to Thai imm. about 8AM and from what I was told the line was extra long. After that cross over into Laos again looong lines and then at the visa window I'm called over, it seems theres a problem with my ...

Anyone thinking of having a drink in the night market this Saturday 12th. Don't forget its election day for the local civic council and I doubt if alcohol will be available. :( Sure I'll come by but I'll be crying in my beer http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif Just not the same without our beer girl...

Party at pop-pop's So if we come by to surf the net at the shop you'll keep our glasses full of beer ?

Hey BB I haven't seen you for a while, good to see your still around. Bob great idea for a "special" format to making posts. I just hope we won't be killing the moderators keeping up with the forum. I have to thank the members at the night market that set this in to motion. You could hear advise on ...

Hi Lee I just though of this as a possible new forum for Udon Map forums, the How to Forum. A month or so back I made a post on how to get a Thai drivers license and I just posted asking about making a border run to Laos. Thanks to Bob Helm he answered my question. My point is maybe if we have the "...

Speaking of a VOA in Laos how much is it in Baht now? I have to do a 90 day run Thursday (my first) and I would like to how much money I need to bring.

After my run I think I'll try to post "Border run 101" just like an earlier post I did on how to get a Thai drivers license.

The unofficial count was 15 and happy to say that Udon newest resident made it, welcome Phil. For those not here or choose to stay away heres what you m...

:lol: Maybe the alcohol intake has something to do with it,combined with the tourist mentality of ''fun''! Speaking of alcohol intake the TW and family were at Tesco yesterday and saw shopping cart after shopping cart loaded to the brink of falling over full of cases of beer. I can see the my TW is...

Hi Ralph, I just talked with a new arrival here in Udon (can't believe he's not a forum member) and I told him the same steps I talked about earlier and he got his drivers license. Here are the 5 quick steps. 1. Go to police station across from Udon Pit High School and register where you live, get a...

I with ISSAN_NISSAN as this is my first Sonkran and you said 10 DAYS? I though it was only 3 days long. Great I have to do a visa run on or before Apr. 18

Sorry Aznyron, your right it is next week but there were a few of the faithful there tonight just to make sure the beer was um, err, huh, smoothies and bottled water were of proper temperature. Also we made sure that the seating would be enough to accommodate all the new arrivals for Songkran. IMHO ...

Looks like I'll fire-up the old beer moped and see you guys tonight.

Sorry pje this wont be much help but I did see a half-way decent shop here in Khon Kaen that did both nitro/gas and electric R/C stuff but I left the hobby long ago so didn't give a second look, sorry. I did see some 1/32nd scale or so aircraft along with some Futaba 4 or 6 channel radios. Of course...
