RON CELL in Khon Kaen hospital

There seems to be some confusion, the name is Sell and he apparently also goes by James or maybe that is is legal surname. If inquiring for him try both. KKU Hospital seems to be the location.

Chiang Mai / Rai

I agree with most of the foregoing info with a couple exceptions. I drive the shortcut from Udon thru Loei and on west. I keep the foot on the floor as much as possible and 8 hours is , well, with a stop for gas and a brief lunch my wife prepares it takes closer to 9 + hours and that is hitting 120 ...

Enrico Olmo

For those who wonder who he is,Enrico used to own Bella Italia in the Charoensri complex right next to what was then the Charoensri Grand hotel (now Centara). He then moved Bella Italia back to opposite Nong Prajak until it was sold just over a year ago.....I think it is the White House now ?? He w...

Guns & Shooting- Hobby.

There is a gun club at the Border Police Training Center on Udonsakon Hwy not far off the Ring Rd past Big C. I understand a pistol can be rented there, 9mm Glock. Foreigners can not own a gun but a Thai wife or other may if they pass a background check and have a lot of money, guns are not cheap he...

Canon printer scanner

On the second floor at the old Big C, first ink/printer shop on the right as you go to the food court using the back escalator has taken care of my printer problems, often for no charge. I bought the printer at the mall and had constant problems with it and was ready to trash it until I took it to t...

OnSale...Samsung GALAXY S III / 16GB / white

Checked the price on a new one, now an old model, with the S 4 out and the S 5 coming. A shop at Big C showed us the latest flyer, S 3 is 13,500 TB new.

Mitsubishi Pajero sport 2013

When we bought ours in 2010 my wife told me the dealer has a budget for extras or premuims such as tinted windows, ins, etc. I had specifically asked for a manual in english and was told it would be part of the premiums at no cost. When the manual finally came I was asked to pay 500 TB, I refused an...

International Drivers License

We just received ours thru Star visa in Chiang Mai, requirements much like stated above. We were in town and have used this company for other things so let them handle it.. I have a Thai license plus we submitted my passport, couple photos and yellow book.

Visa card problem

Yes, 2 round trips to LAX. No idea about Udon to Inchon. We like to go to Chiang Mai better than BKK and have lunch at Miguel's when we have the chance.

Visa card problem

Tried to book a KAL flight to the US. To make a long story short after several attempts and timing out, 2 calls to customer service in BKK and 2 calls to Chiang Mai KAL number where you can not make a reservation or get much information and a couple hours wasted I was frustrated. The bottom line is ...

Grape Nuts cereal

Well, thanks for that. Since we live out on Udonsakon Hwy we don't often go to Tesco but I will keep it in mind when I finish the 6 boxes Rim Ping shipped to me. As I said, I never made a dedicated hunt for it in Udon but saw it while shopping at Rim Ping and made the less than satisfactory requests...

Grape Nuts cereal

Yes, a bit prcey at 287 TB for a 1 1/2 pound box. I like it and it is one of the few that isn't loaded with sugar as the second ingredient. More to the point of my posting is that Tops seems to be less than customer friendly and Rim Ping is, esp if you can't find an item here.

Grape Nuts cereal

I like I but never saw it in Udon and that is just casual looking, not a dedicated hunt. I found it at Rim Ping Supermarkets in Chiang Mai thus insuring that the product is available in Thai. I contacted the manager at the local Tops 3 times making a request and basically was blown off with, do you ...

Fun & Games at the UT Immigration Office

I'm with Mike. The police have an implied intimidation factor by virtue of the being "police". In fairness I found a website called thaiguri (or close) talking about the police in Thai. I don't know how dated it is but it claimed the starting salary for Thai Police is about 6,000 B a month, hardly w...

There is more than one scam at that office. The female officer with the nice personality, pretty smile sitting by the post is as quick as any good conman.

The example of Mosa, in my opinion, is the most striking portrait among the women in his collection so will share it here.

The whole Edward Curtis collection

I have enjoyed the Curtis photos for years and have a nice photo of Mosa-Mohave in my computer room. I have a coffee table book collection of some of his photos. Considering time they were, taken, the equipment used the collection is truly magnificant. Thanks for posting this.
