dave_boo Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 So, I'm coming down from hiding in the western part of the Province come tomorrow, Thursday 28 February, and was wondering if anyone wanted to get together for some food (Western!) and a couple of beers.

Mae Wong is close enough that you can also probably hang out with the fellows from Kamhaeng Phet--there's a few that will come down out of hiding if there's brewskis on the table!

dave_boo Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 First, I'd definitely steer clear of riding with Billd766; he has a predelicition for going airbourne in vehicles. Without knowing how big you're planning, mine is on the smaller side, I could recommend the guys who did mine. They did a good job, a typical Thai concrete beam/block house, but were willing to work with me on specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it is a a bit tricky driving when the track is only just 2 cars wide and some maniac on a motorcycle is tracking you on the nearly blind spot on the left. You must be naerly coming back again by now. Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 @ Billd766; I just call it like I see it. I thought I was well into your mirror space! Plus it wasn't that far that I was there; it wouldn't have been that much time if you had gone faster although that would have been even more enjoyable for me since you would have had a bit more Kinevel time. And I actually had to push my trip back things here are hectic and show no sign of letting up. However, this overtime is padding my cheques quite nicely. I'm actually looking at the week of the 20th July getting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonelsing Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I don't know if this is the right way to do this as I never did forum before and don't know how to do the various icons or whatever they are called and I am an idiot with computers,but I do want to say thank you to all the guys who wrote to me with helpful advice. First I would say to Khonwan,I will be living very close to you in Mae Wong so definitely would like to meet up with you. Also I would like to say thank you to Dave and I myself am planning to build small house such as yours so would definitely like to learn more. Also Bill,I would like to meet you also. Only thing I would say though is yesterday i had to go to hospital for some heart thing.Have accelerated heart or something but doctor says I can still do most everything,but I am not sure if riding in airborne cars is advisable. Just so you know though,I have done same before so no problem. If any of you guys are ever in Chiang Mai before I go to Nakhon Sawan,let me know and we can arrange meetup.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Boo will be back in a couple of months anyway which should give your heart time to get fixed. I had a couple of partly blocked arteries several years ago. Had 2 angioplasties and a couple of stents fitted and now I am as fit as any fat 64 year old who does no exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonelsing Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Khonwan i can tell Bill is good hearted as are you and Dave.I have to say though I have written to the Chiang Mai forum today and some of the replies people sent seemed very strange and I would say obnoxious.This was not always the case as there were also kind and helpful people,but one guy was talking about "psycoliogical" problems of tourist police.Anyway everone in Nakhonn sawan seems nice and good hearted so i am looking forwarde to getting down that way for good.

dave_boo Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sorry, things have been crazy busy here and I haven't had a chance to craft a reply. It's not good to hear of health problems--unless of course you have me in your will! Things are a lot more laid back in Nakhon Sawan; most every expat that I've met there live in the area for exactly that reason. And colonelsing, if you PM me a phone number I can have my old lady (I can safely say that since she's got two months on me!) will SMS some pics of the house to give you an idea of what I mean as far as small is. You'll also get a feel of what the builder is capable of. If you're not that hip on computers, to PM me, click on my name to the left of this message and choose "Send Message". I'll get the message and have my wife get that info to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
