and those that compare by price alone,are not talking about comparable properties or living environment! You obviously did not read john2005's post. I live in Nong Khai on the river in a new four bedroom with a pool and pay less than the two bedroom without a pool that you think is such great value...

If people go to a flea pit like Pattaya then they are going to come in contact with the dregs that live there.Everyone knows it's reputation and that the streets are filled with cash laden fat farang.Prime targets.

If you like a tasty pie or two in a smoke free place then TJ's is the place to go.

Fot Thai food,most are open air so no worries.

The correct thread appears to be locked Lee.

I have been having the occasional problem accessing the site and that is through Loxinfo,JI NETand TOT.

If there was real customer demand, rather than just anti smoking rhetoric, non smoking restaurants and bars would be all over the place; bar owners, just like any other business owner, are in business to make money. If the formula was right then bars and restautants would not close down or change h...

Hmmm,nine voting for smoking in restaurants.They may be the high rollers of Udon but a few beligerent smokers may just send the Clock over the edge.Let them sit together in the Clock while i enjoy the fresh air of other Udon venues.

Hmmm,warmed up resonable tasting steaks.Lovely.

she cannot own land up there as well as in Hua-Hin

Absolute rubbish.My wife owns land in three different Provinces,Udon,Krabi and Surat Thani.

recreates the ambiance of an authentic Irish pub Hmmm,went to the Clock yesterday and yes,the food is good,but a place more lacking in atmosphere you could not find.I have been to many,many pubs in Ireland and the mood is amazing.You certainly do not feel like you are in the hussle and bustle of an...

I choose to be direct rather than diplomatic as diplomacy will only work when the other party is flexible.It would take a very long search to find anyone more intransigent than Ray or yourself.

I am more than happy to be called a ***** if it means i do not have to suffer the rambling incoherent posts of those in cloud cuckoo land. A forum on topic is like a breath of fresh air.

pikky,it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie mate.

some of you ***** to comment

You say the sweetest things.Next you will be saying my wife is a "barge pole" woman,wont he Val.

Let me just ask one question,would you go to a Mexican cookery forum and post about bike repairs in Udon?

I used to send my GF 6,000 Baht a month as any more than that and you are supporting other family members too and that is a bad habit to get into early on in the relationship.200 Baht a day for someone with no expenses is fine.

You can order right hand drive cars in Laos,just a question of waiting.

No theft is involved,you buy the car in Laos and ship it over.Why buy it,well,should you ever wish to sell it,you ship it back to Laos.

Yes,they have no automatic right to be here,but for Stan to appear to take pleasure from the misfortune of others is a little sad.Such happiness appears on all the forums eminating from the older community,hence my light hearted dig.

Hmmm,sounds like visa runs for cars. Bought mine in Laos and had someone float it across the river at night.Been stopped a hundred times but no cop ever checks vehicle id plates.Nong Khai is full of cars from Laos at one third the price you pay here.My local garage sorts out the tax and 700 Baht ins...

I little self righteous i would say.Maybe one day they will focus on all the overweight sweaty pensioners and i for one will crack open the bubbly.
