I have been asked to present the credit card used to book the e-ticket everytime on both THAI and EVA when departing the USA. On both airlines it is printed in the pages of rules,etc that comes with the e-ticket that if you do not have the card you will need to purchase a new ticket. I fly regularly...

I have flown EVA from Los Angeles to BKK 7 times now and have always had a good experience. I preferred the 747 to the new 777-300 but have always had good service and on time travel with them

Thankyou for the post. It made me think alot about my situation with Thai husband. Most of the arguments have been from a lack of understanding on my part. I have learned to slow down a bit and enjoy the simple things. I can't wait to get back to the village on Nov 12. I hear the weather is nice now...

*How about purchase something at the market for 95 Baht... give the vendor a 100 Baht note and they have to use the calculator to determine your change. *Being asked if we can see the moon in America. * driving crazy, seeing many gruesome accidents without much attention on the other side: caring , ...

There are too many big words for President Bush to be able to communicate this to anyone. Besides, they are too busy wire-tapping American's communication without a warrant. He is a coporatitst without the required citical thinking skills to do the job well. kinda like a chimp. sigh....

I have wired money directly to a Thai bank account many times. The fee is reasonable and the exchange rate decent. It is always available for withdrawal within 2 working days of when I sent it. For me it is the easiest way to go. Congatulations on your marriage!

Great! We are opening a new market in the village of Songpleay. We are having a huge party with Issan dancing and music on Friday 4/13/07 ...Maybe you can stop by for a beer? The market is just before the entrance to the village on your left. Scott in Arizona (Can't wait to get back to Thailand)

I visit my other half in Kumphawapi three times per year. I also enjoy the KP hotel. I seem to be the only farang around in the small village of Songpleay near Kumphawapi. I met an Englishman living with his girlfirend one day but that is all. I'm arriving on April 2 and am looking forward to it. Is...

I have flown this flight twice now. Very nice..no problems. I am glad to see the enhanced schedule. ATR aircraft are used world-wide. Have a great trip!

There were no hearings on Haliburton OR impeachment possibilities with the Republican majority pre- 2006 elections. If you have ever really heard GWB speaking without a tele-prompter or cue cards you would be afraid. I am not in favor of "cut and run" ... more like.."stop and think"

I am also very proud to be an American! It just pains me to see brave men and women come home dead or without limbs in a war with no goal.

No one wants to see people die including GWB. It is his lack of curiosity and perspective that scares me. He has openly admitted that he doesn't read newspapers or watch the news. If he really wanted what is best for America he wouldn't allow 47 million citizens to go without health coverage. Bush's...

President Bush is a war monger plain and simple. He planned to attack Iraq before sept.11. He is a simple man who only receives information from a small group of right-wing out of touch people. As an American I am disgusted at the billion dollars per day war in a country with 47 million people witho...

Hi, The KP Hotel in Kumphawapi is great. I have stayed there for two years. An end room (bigger) for two people is 720 Baht per night. There is a slight extra charge for credit cards. Very clean, great reataurant, good service, excellent laundry and pool. There are Tuk tuks nearby and if you don't m...

Thanks for your help. In looking back I realize that he was the first in his village to travel by air to another country and it caused a stir. His friends remain the nicest folks I have met in a long time. To stereotype gays as always looking at life differently is interesting. I'm willing to bet th...

Thankfully we only have 2 more years with him as president. The worst president in the USA has veer had... with the lowest approval rating EVER. He is unintelligent, a war monger and a religious right- wing wacko. He makes America look bad.

I spent two months in the Udon area recently with my significant other who is Thai. :) I am learning about cultural differences,etc and this site has been very helpful. I need help understanding friendships in the village. We took a trip to Hong Kong and his friends were almost in tears when we left...

I send small packages regularly to Kumphawapi just outside of Udon. They arrive within 10 days from the USA and have yet to experience any problems. My husband reports that it is delivered to his house on a motorbike from the Kumphawapi post office. The first time I mailed a package I thought that i...

I went to Days nice many times when in Udon this October. I enjoyed it very much but knew it could not last with high overhead and no customers. Too bad. The name cracked me up.

I have stayed here a few times. The location is great and the lobby is beautiful. I find the rooms to be just okay but all in all overpriced.
