phee nick Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Good day to all, I would like to rent a house in an Ubon moo baan before buying. Area Nai Muang ,maybe Sarin Village. Anyone have an idea how rentals on moo baans are to be found? Is it the juristic office or people posting ads in Big C? Am in BKK at present but will be in Ubon District soon and have a month or so to find a rental house. I've seen ubon homes. com but not too much on there at moment. Anyone know any agents? Was there last year and looked at a Sarin show home and it was ok. Thanks for any guidance, Nick Edited February 12, 2017 by phee nick Punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been approved but I haven't seen a time frame. Anyone know when? Ubon - Pattaya (U-Tapao) is certain.

Aidenwillson Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The metered Taxis at the airport: I was there around 11am this morning doing a delivery. I did not see a single taxi there ( not even outside at the front entrance / gate ). I am at the airport several times per week. If I see metered Taxis, I will post it here to keep everyone updated.

Personally i'd also love if they brought back the Phuket route also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The land in question belongs to Mrs Sunee. It was a swamp and she filled up all the land for development some time in the future. However, she encroached on government/local community land which runs like a long snake through her new property. She has been ordered to return this land to its original level and state. So the land fill has to be dug out to get down to the original level. I guess in the wet season it will become inundated with water and swamp plants will grow, enabling it to return to something like its original state. I actually thought it was a canal for flood control. Behind the Debua Villa hotel there is a road that takes one to a housing estate which is now below the Sunee land fill. This estate was built in the late 1990s. The floods in 2000, 2001 and 2002, destroyed many of the houses. Now there are only remains four large two storey houses, of which one is abandoned. The concrete roads are still there. Further on behind Thai Watsudu is a temple which also suffered during these floods. So when I saw the large and deep canal, I immediately thought it was to prevent future flood damage to these houses and the temple. Of course I was wrong. The government wants its swamp land back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Err...actually I think Ubon has been pretty progressive in rapidly constructing 4 lane sections on the main out-of-town highways in the few short years (8) that I've been around this region, so I'm not sure that the track record supports skepticism ubonrthai. One for the Sisaket junction after those other two please! Basic overpasses to keep ring road traffic flowing are all that's needed - fancy clover-leafs would be OTT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes it into Issan. All my neighbours are of Laos decent so I find I need to try to learn Laos and Thai. The amount of infrastructure being built near here is remarkable. Things are happening, overgrown swamps are being cleaned out and water reserves are being made. Roads are being widened and drains are being renewed. Never in visiting/living here have I seen such rapid development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonrthai Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 I see surveyors have been hanging around the Amnat intersection the last few days. Hopefully planning their bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonrthai Posted April 28, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2017 I stopped and talked to a surveyor today at the Amnat intersection. He said they are doing underpasses at the Amnat & Yasothon intersections of the ring road. So if you are driving on the ring road heading West, you will go under Chayangkun Rd. and then under the Yaso intersection to get to Central. He said they will remove the new stop light in front of the bus station but I didn't understand how they were changing that area. He said it will take 2 years to complete both intersections. I should have clarified if it was 2 years each or 2 years total for both intersections. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Let's hope they do proper traffic surveys to get the timing algorithms appropriate for the lights that will remain at ground level. Too often in Thailand one is left stopped a light while no little or no traffic is using the green lighted point of entry. The standard approach seems to be that lights are given the same access time at all four points. Presumably cheaper not to have sophisticated (not really nowadays - digital stuff like that is pretty cheap) timing mechanisms but any economist would tell you that wasted time has a more damaging impact on the economy as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
