I have visited the Sunee Grand Hotel a few times; this is the newest hotel in Ubon Ratchathani and by far the best in terms of quality and also what it has to offer. I visited to the newly opened S Club Health and Spa a few weeks ago but I couldn’t take too many [...]

It’s going to a quiet little affair, nothing special… or words to that effect. So I have been regularly informed about the forthcoming marriage ceremony this coming August in Yasothon, somewhere in the depths of Isaan that I have yet to visit. I always get a bit worried when my wife-to-be repeats herself several times, [...]

I get up at around 6am and head off to work at 6:45am; Miss Noot is soundly asleep as she works 3pm till [...]

While spending time on the family farm in Nakhon Phanom I was really impressed with how self sufficient they really are. I knew they grew most of their own food and caught their own fish, but I was surprised at just how much the farm gives them. The various fruit and nut trees give way [...]

Today is Isaan Thailand it was cloudy and eventually wet. It has been hot lately, very humid and for days it has looked like we were going to have a storm but didn’t eventuate.

The rain came early today, usually the storms roll in late afternoon but today the lightning flashed and thunder roared just before [...]

The other day Pookie had to renew her drivers license which turned out to be a 5 hour affair but it gave me the chance to walk through the city and relax in it’s beauty. Nakom Phanome sits on the Mekong directly across from Laos in the North East area of Thailand.
The one thing that [...]
