Just done what you said to do Paul, a set of pliers & the barb falls off no problem.
Hope your doing OK.

Hi Tafia,
Give me a call or pm me and we can meet up at the park. You've been threatening to get strated for a while now.
I might pop down to your place tonight if the rain stays off, I also want to get some barbless hooks at the n/market.

Johnty, After you left yesterday everyone said thank f*** the old Bailiff is away and went back to fishing with 5/6 hooks. I caught a good few fish and the Thai’s even gave us some of their fish. I’m now off the bailiff list . The wife, granddaughter & her father came down and had food, I had Praka ...

There is a dried wood which comes in small bundles called ‘Mai Lai Nhoo’ (about 79 Baht a pack of 6) which act's as a deterrent for mice and rat’s. We had rat’s in the loft and the wife bought these and scattered about 10 bundles of them at various corners of the loft and it did the trick. We have h...

Last week I made a comment about not seeing anyone catch a decent sized fish on that particular day. I would like to make it clear that I did not intend or imply that there is a scarcity of fish in the ponds. There has always been plenty of fish at Sabai Sabai and as Paul has said they are getting h...

I got back to Udon a few day's ago and today I went to Sabai Sabai Fishing Park today and I have to agree with ''nin ians'', it has gone down hill since I was there last. Never saw anyone catch a decent sized fish and I was there from 10.30am until 6.30pm. Three month ago there was a rule that only ...

My wife, grandaughter and I have fished there many times and it’s a great day out, best around Udon, food good also. Will be back the 22nd so will see you all about the 24/25th as I presume the wife will need the freezer filled with fish again.

When Andy was in the City odge he did a great breakfast, anyone know if he is going to be open for breakfasts in the new place?

Thanks.

Go to the Complex and on the second floor there is a shop at the end where the computers are that sells power leads.
Take the old one with you.

You can only refill the cartridges 2/3 times then they are US. Best to get the bottles fitted to the side of your printer. Just had mine done and with all the bottles topped up with ink it only cost 800 Baht. You can’t but 2 cartridges for that money.

Was at Sabai Sabai yesterday (Friday) with my wee grandaughter who is 8 years of age, she caught 14 take home size pla-nin. I caught a few Geramid. Paul, you once told me to stay at home and send her to get the fish which in this heat is a good idea. We loved the food =D> .

These ''Art Clubs'' have been in Udon Thani for years, they are call called, ''The Art of how to Con Farangs Clubs''.

There’s a Resort called T19 not far from Phen with self contained small cottages. I think they are about Baht 500 per night. They also have a lovely swimming pool free to residents. I have seen a hotel in Phen but it looks a bit run down. PM me if you want a phone number for T19.

Was there yesterday and saw some nice size fish being put in the pond. Had a lovely green curry from the new cook.
Hope your getting better Paul. Haste ye back.

Anyone having problems with www.thebox.bz today? I can’t open their web page on download from it today.

Hi just seen your post, If your still looking im in Udon at the moment and my wifes uncle makes this type of furniture, we are about 10-15 mins from the Airport (he makes it at his home) normally he makes it to order quite high quality furniture for hotels in Bangkok, But he makes the cheaper stuff...

Hi, I'm a driving instructor and I'm back in the UK working for 3 month. The answer to your question is No! I’ve contacted the DSA regard to this on a couple of occasions, firstly about 12 years ago for my wife and again last year for some Thai customers. Looks like your wife will have to persevere ...

How come that Centara Hotel has a service charge when it's a self service buffet? I proffered it 10 years ago but we won’t go back. I would go as far as saying that there is better food at the night market.

I have read all the posts regard to the change at the Central Buffet Lunch so I went there yesterday with the wife. What a disappointment we both had! Before it change hands we swore we wouldn’t go back and we are now determined that we won’t be returning for that sh*t food. A couple of farangs came...
