Never was a fan of HH, especially the surf side of Phetkasem, and was only good for a pit stop, to points further south when out and about, usually to Phuket from Udon Thani, where I lived for 16 years. I know I wouldn't enjoy living there, and rarely visit now. Again, a stop when to / from Krung Th...

Assuming you're not Thai, so buying a condo, larger than 80m² will be quite the investment. Unless married to a Thai, then more cost effective to buy in (townhouse / house), and sell....maybe. Are you sure HH is for you, at least the next 5 - 10 years, and finances secure enough for any future negat...

Thanks PeteC And yes, I'm quite enjoying it. All new to me, along with interchangeable lens cameras. Filling the time and hobby void rather well. Them Drongos are everywhere, though first time I noticed the Racket tailed one. Didn't realize Thailand had so many different birds (1000+). And I'm all t...

Yes, the blue one is 'Collared', and the other is 'White Throated' I did mislabel the Pectoral Sandpiper, as that is actually a 'Pacific Golden Plover' The one actually on a branch, is an Ashy Drongo. And on the subject of Drongos .... :roll: Spotted a couple Greater Racket Tailed Drongos behind a c...

A few more spotted locally, PKK municipality. The urban wildlife adventure. Trekking the forest and patience isn't in my DNA. So it's concrete trees, and steel branches half of the time. So much easier to spot when on a wire, besides, the birds have a better viewpoint themselves when hunting insects...

Mitsubishi fan (non-inverter), and no problems, 2 houses (owned) 7 units, over 5 & 7 yrs use, and 2 rentals using same over 19 yr period, and all Mitsubishi.

Notice most hotels I frequent use the same.

A bunch of Grebes & Great Cormorants, having a day at the lake, along with some different Egrets. Not far from y'all.....Yang Chum https://i.postimg.cc/MHqbMVP5/DSC03694-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/j2YKzdPZ/DSC03663.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Fs9Xm6Zd/DSC03627.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cJj8GwGC/DSC0...

Oh come on...........I just got here.

You're kidding right, Nobody wants their photo taken today ???



Everyone...........you also

Pacific Reef-Heron (Egretta sacra), I think, and sometimes labeled as Egrets, and makes sense. https://ebird.org/species/pacreh1 There was a Cormorant there also, one hadn't see before. Big arse'd head, looked out of proportion, especially when it stood tall. https://ebird.org/species/grecor https:/...

Should be some bargains out there with the rumoured mass exodus of expats, if willing to go 2nd hand....

Hear the local forum in Udon Thani is full of bargains (houses & vehicles) in their classified section.

Whoa.....that's a big difference from our 6 baht tax bill, and 1 of those, is for the paperwork....LOL

Sorry, no answer to your query.

Chok Di

High drama on the sand........and a turf war....

A roll of notes.....

More like, one coin.



I'm pretty sure it cost me more in petrol to get there, than the tax. And that's not even taking the scenic route.

Thanks. They all just seem to be out and about, as the hard part is spotting them. The herons & storks are easy enough, and plentiful. Prefer to get them in a bit more natural setting, on a tree branch, but they do stand out on the wires....thankfully. Not a patient person, and haven't really sa...

Thanks. Yea, there was a couple of them. They don't stay still long. I've been noticing a lot of bee-eaters lately, having the greenish body & orange-ish crown / head. A couple yellow birds at the park, yet to get a snap of, damn fast, and really shy. Thinking a lot of bird feeders, when house b...
