In May when I as in Chiang Mai the interview mob button-holed me with the thirty questions. "Where are you from?" "Why did you come to Chiang Mai?" "Have you ever visited Thailand before?" "What is the most interesting thing you saw here?" "Can you eat Thai food?" I was taking pictures of the temple...

I think many of us have preconceived notions of what other nation's citizens are like. I confess that I do as well sometimes, but if the better part of us wins out we put those aside when meeting someone new. I can't imagine anyone with manners asking personal questions about your "pocket mouse" or ...

It's amazing the warmth and friendship shown to any "outsiders" on Udonmap! :^o I found the thai people of Udon almost universally kind, open and friendly in my time in Udon Thani. The falang on the other hand........ #-o What is wrong with all the crabby people on this forum? If you're not from the...

Or like this sir: http://www.isarapix.org/pix39/1218783468.jpg Click on the box labeled img, paint and do a control C on the "direct link" option on the isarapx website, paste or do a control V in the spot where you want the image to appear (it will typically be there) then click the now starred Img...

I re-size all of mine to 800x535 or 800x600 depending on the camera I am using before I upload to a server. I post the BB code in my post. Hopefully that's not an issue for anyone. http://www.mongersmedia.com/photopost/data/1098/DSC06393_800x535.jpg http://www.mongersmedia.com/photopost/data/1098/DS...

Work continues along Soi Katoey: http://www.mongersmedia.com/photopost/data/1125/P5965.jpg They are now on the south side of the road: http://www.mongersmedia.com/photopost/data/1125/P5968.jpg http://www.mongersmedia.com/photopost/data/1125/P5973.jpg Reliable sources tell me the work had less to do ...

Maybe they are big fans of Mr T and are trying to align the plane with Jupiter and Venus?

Or they could have one of those adorable little cats in the cockpit and like to watch the kitty's paw bob and bob......

Treehugger and Stattionthailand. I've no idea how old you are, but judging by your Victorian attitudes I reckon you've got to be in your 70's. This being the case you've probably got legs that the public wouldn't like to see and I appreciate you covering them up. If on the other hand your not in yo...

I'm a dual service kind of guy. Shorts most places, including shopping trips, during the day (it's hot in Thailand!) but long pants when I'm out after dark. My mama raised me as a gentleman you know.... :lol: I'm not telling if I wear shorts under either of them! If I was going to a wat or a governm...

No problem with decent respectful farangs that decide to settle in Udon. I don't even have a problem with people that would like to come and have a look as long as they don't damage the farang image or act like millionaires for the short time they are here. The reality is this is a different world ...

Teelack got nicked for 200 baht from the BIB today for not having a drivers license while driving her moto. So Nong Han is the place for her to go to get a thai drivers license? We live in Udon Thani south of Prosi Rd. Will she be able to take the class and the test in Nong Han or is there another l...

Last week Soi Katoey received a boost to its external distaster planning. They upgraded the storm water pipes in the street. The pict was my Chev Captiva and it survives, makes a gr8 bow wave when i left with my GF that night, and we offered a lift to heaps of her friends stranded on the sides. So ...

Building and maintaining infrastructure is something we take for granted from the West. It's not such an automatic in SE Asia from my experience. A few too many grand plans and the following years it falls into disrepair and never lasts as long as it should. We can see it on any street in Thailand t...

The farmers need rain for the rice crops. So just grin and bear it. When I flew out on the 4th of June it looked like they had ample water in the fields. Mama told the teelack this week they have to wait a bit to plant because the water is TOO DEEP to plant rice at the moment. The ponds are full an...

Hi all, Soi katoey is under water again. Pic courtesy of Wazza who took it asbout 30 mins ago (7pm Mpnday) http://www.isarapix.org/pix15/sm/1211805379.jpg So is this something which happens with regularity ? :( ...he says with a frown after recently renting an apartment not so very far up the hill ...

The Thai Red Cross do have data base for this , but its always needs updating etc. There was also a call for this blood last week as well. I'm O negative and will be living half-time in Udon in the future. Does anyone know of a list locally where I might register when I arrive back in town the firs...
