Re: The Corner Restaurant (Steve & Mali)

Visited today with my son. Had a very nice couple of meals there and pleasantly greeted by steve and his wife.

Well worth a visit - you know exactly what you’re gonna get at Steve’s restaurants and will return

Re: Information sought

I had a 1 year DL back in the day then a couple of 2 years then a 5 then went to renew in December 2021 and was issued a 2 year - never had an O visa.

Will renew on Friday and will advise of the outcome of its a 2 or 5 year, fingers crossed for the latter

Re: Cricket 2023

I listened to the tea session and it did strike me that the choice of shots was foolhardy and unnecessary- hopefully not too damaging and England can hit the 400 mark later

Re: Weather

Would strongly suggest avoiding Hua Hin area in April (Jelly fish season) some years especially Takiep Beach and Khao Tao Beach there are so many being washed up its too dangerous to even go in the water (thousands of dead/semi dead washed up at shoreline daily) Yes, like a bit of Hua Hin myself an...

Re: Weather

ajsp9, have you considered somewhere like Khanom/Suchon on the other coast for August. Damp but not as bad as West coast. On mainland close to Samui (30 mins to ferry port if you want to cross) nice beaches with fair number of hotels/restaurants etc. Bit quiet but entertainment available if require...

Re: Monthly expat meetup?

Soi Paradise, where I have my book shop, has a large open-air bar/restaurant almost opposite. Just across the soi from my bookshop. No problem parking and appears to be no problem smoking. If you want to watch TV for football etc, just ask. It is a Thai place, owner very friendly, rather than faran...

ATV TOUR

Just thinking about done different activities to do in Udon and wondered if there was a nearby ATV tour or hire. Even if it’s a short drive would love to hear if anyone knows of anything or a recommendation?
