Re: Soi 88 to Soi 94 Railway Crossing Road.

Not feasible when you regularly use the Market Village rear entrance exit, or buy chicken for your dogs from the vendor who sells along that road.

Re: Looking for resonably priced Used Car

JimmyD, you were discussing housing I believe, and then you suddenly switched to car purchase which is a completely different section of the forum. This site is split into various categories for a good reason.

Day Trip to Kaeng Krachan Dam & Lake

Never having been to this beauty spot before, we decided to take a trip up there a few days ago. We didn’t know where we were going, so set my SatNav to take us to the park HQ, which was 43 miles away, in a general Northerly direction. I assumed I would be going up the Bangkok Road towards Petchabur...

Re: Soi 88 to Soi 94 Railway Crossing Road.

I disagree. So long as they make it a regular toll collection point, word will soon get around. If its a one-off, then yes, the ignorant gits will continue going the wrong way up a single track road, causing mayhem even though there is a perfectly good, newly laid road going in the right direction l...

Probably just as well that I can't drink any more. I guess I'll be the one sent into the affray because I'll be the only one who can remember at the other end :D

Re: Phraya Nakhon Cave

BB, is there another route to the Phraya Nakhon Cave, via a boat ride and shorter walk? We are bringing my wifes family over with us in september and they are hoping to visit this cave. However, her mother will be 70 and I think the walk you did may be too much for her. Thanks T2 Having suffered/en...
