All I can say here in Khon Kaen it is very very hot. All I can say this month my elect bill will be very high for sure with the Air and fans on full blast. I just hope the exchange rate improves next year so I can get away next April to cooler coast areas with a nice sea breeze So if any body is planning trips to north east Thailand be prepared for some serious hot weather, drink lots of water and do the same as the Thais ,keep in shade and talc your body well, This is the hardship and the price I have to apy for living my dream Today 21/04 Tomorow 22/04 Thu 23/04 Fri 24/04 Sat

The best way to find a house,go on walkabouts ,ride around estates looking for boards on houses with tele numbers, Get to know the x patts in the falang pubs,will get some good leads from them There is some good house to be found in very good locations for 10000 bhts month. No 1 bar now owned by a man called Dave ,great guy. he puts parties on about every 2 months. 14th May he is having a beach party ,should be fun 4 falang bars around the kosa area Also some very nice Thai bars can be found around the big lake I have just been to Undon Thani ,many lady bars now there. But still

Please PM with outcome

The only things I have bought for houses since living in Khon Kaen is TV Toaster Electric Kettle Potato Masher Is it not the same around the world Feel more safe here then in a large city in the UK Does have 24/7 security,but have never seen them stop anybody I agree ,best to have good neighbours. My neighbours are Major in Thai Army Cheif Police Officer A ritired falang who cooks and sells falang food A aging Lady Boy

Yes TTT and his TG stopped for 5 days with me ,he loved Khon Kaen and the beauties of the city Being with his TG he felt like a boy in sweet shop and could not taste all the sweets which was displayed in Khon Kaen We all had a great time together and went to many places All I can say if most of the money were not given back ,I would have had my legal friend from Undon on the case,as my TG worked so hard cleaning every where, left the house spotless. Not like when we first moved in ,it was so dirty and infested with insects I do not understand why people keep deposits

Well time seem to pass so quick now I live in LOS, I have now been living in Khon Kaen,North East Thailand now for 8 months Been very happy and the City is a great place for a home base I have just finished a six month rented contract on my last house. I have moved because my last house was too large for me and my TG ,also the new house costs 10000 bhts month compare to my last house which was 12500 bhts month. Even though this house is smaller ,it still has 3 bedrooms ,2 shower rooms and a very relaxing sitting room come dinning room. The garden is smaller but im happ

Just found this on BBK news today. At the moment only Thai Air flies domestic route into Khon Kaen ,so very expensive to fly to Khon Kaen,thats why I use Undon Thai airport using Nok Air. But soon,or in about 6 months it looks like Nok Air will take over thai route to Khon Kaen This would be good news for people living in Khon Kaen ,also for people wanting to visit Khon Kaen,flights should be a lot cheaper in the future Nok's takeover of routes looks promising By: BOONSONG KOSITCHOTETHANA Published: 2/03/2009 at 12:00 AM Newspaper section: BusinessThe Transport Ministry's
