  1. My Go Bag scenario has happened twice in 3 years.

     

    Family emergencies

     

    3pm Friday afternoon about 7 months ago.

     

    1. Straight to big C. Stocked up the family with enough food for 6 weeks.

    2. Sentosa- stacked up family with 6 weeks of nappies and 144 cartons of milk.

    3. Mom and pop shop - 15 x 6 litre bottles of water.

    4. Ensure lady123 has all knowledge of all accessible funds.

    5. Booked flights to bkk and bkk to Heathrow. 24 hours to depart.

  2. 18 hours ago, Hoylake said:

    We were lucky to get away with a win in my opinion,

     

    Lukaku just isn't doing it for me and Lingard is in a slump. Rojo needs ditching and sadly Mata has seen better days.

     

    Navigating the rest of the season will be extremely difficult starting with a huge mountain to climb on Tuesday, Can we win it? Of course we can, but it will take passion, commitment, teamwork and a dash of luck.

    200m budget and Solskjaer the manager. Utd are doomed. Solskjaer is upto his neck in it, he's no top 6 manager in the 2nd division let alone!

  3. Did a hop to Savanaket from Khon Kaen last week.

     

    Savanaket IMO is an absolute last resort. Id rather pay double and go further. The dogs at night are on another level and the place is sleepier than a graveyard and overpriced for food, food is lacking there apart from the glorious bread.

     

    Vientiane seemed much more competitive and the range of food available was tastier and better value.

     

    Took a bus from KK terminal 3 to Mukdahan. 5.5 hours. Departed 2.30pm arrived 8pm.

    170 baht - 

     

    Spent an evening in mukdahan stayed at submukda hotel which is in the bus station.

    409 baht. Really nice for the price. 

     

    6am. Awoke, walked toward friendship bridge 2, to cross to laos

    Luckily, a samlor passed me and for 100 baht took me the 6km to the bridge.

     

    I could have took a bus for 50 baht from bus station to the bridge but I was not aware of that option at the time.

     

    At bridge paid 50 baht and crossed using the bus. 

     

    Paid 1500 baht and got Laos visa.

     

    Caught samlor from bridge to consulate. 

    140 baht.

     

    Paid 100 baht and had the app form completed directly over the road from the consulate. 

     

    Completed step 1 of app process by 9.15am after passing through gates for consulate which opened at 9am

     

    Provided:

    Passport

    Application filled out

    2000 baht

    Child BC & Copy

    Mother ID copy & signed

    Housebook copy mother and child

    Housebook me.

     

    Child BC was not taken. Only shown and copy was taken.

     

    Collected next day at 2pm was on way back to bridge by 2.25pm.

     

    Caught 4pm bus back to khon Kaen and was home by 8.30pm.

     

    As smooth as the process may seem I'd much prefer Vientiane.

     

    Spent less than 7000 baht on that run all in.
