Re: Parking at Udon Thani Airport
If you are thinking of the place opposite the PEA building, that closed a while back. They charged 100 Baht/day but was not well used. Maybe it was bit ahead of its time.

Re: New Immigration Visa Proposals (Apparently Approved)
The first reports of this new visa linked it to boosting health tourism. Thailand has not enjoyed the best press in recent years over foreign (mainly Arab) health tourists who ran out of money, or simply stopped paying, part way through their treatment. Maybe this is nothing more than an attempt to ...

You sound surprised by the announcement, but let's face it, neither Boris nor Gideon could unite the Tories.

Brexit and implications to UM members perhaps ?
You're assuming the sun is shining inside the EU wazza. There will be more problems there. Greece might go, the markets might turn on a country such as Italy, Putin's thugs in mufti might take part of an EU country etc. Then there might be a flight to other currencies such as the pound. And Brits m...

Hatred of immigrants, xenophobia, nationalism wins in the UK (well England (minus London) and Wales). Our IQ test next week Australia. Worrying times for progressive people.

Read yesterday that the Remain side admitted that the UK would not be able to control immigration if they remain in the EU. That would be devastating in the UK's ability to maintain any sovereignty at all. :( There are two issues in what you say: The first point is that the UK cannot control immigr...

Not a snowball's chance in hell getting one in Udon. I tried everywhere: "No have. Order from Bangkok" was the universal response.

Does anybody have any information about the undercover parking facility opposite the PEA building on the ring road? The t/w says it is for airport parking, but I have not seen any signs to confirm that.

There is a large undercover car park on the left hand side just before going through the gates into the bridge area. It is manned throughout the hours the border is open. I do not know if there is a night watchman.
