Don't think Chiang Khan has a large road like that on the Mekong but I could be wrong. 

Mekong indeed, it's Nakhon Phanom

my favourite place in Isaan ... bonus points for anyone guessing it ... hints: that water is a river, and those mountains are not Thailand, and that tree is just awesome

safer version, cause most will fall about kimonos and highpitched voice ... once you get over that though ...

late at nite here, so yeah:

Rush are one of my favourite bands,was gutted to here they have packed in touring.

 

Rush is easily one of my favourite bands ... Xanadu, Red Barchetta, Spirit of the Radio, so many great songs and sound

one of the best Isaan foods, freshwater fish done right:

But changing for what? Busloads of Chinese, Russians that don't drink in bars. Korean tour groups. Packs of Indians roaming around trying to buy one girl for six of them. I don't call that improvement. Apart from the small high season, a lot of places are badly struggling. The ones that are not and have huge running bills are just used for money laundering. Attitudes hardened, more expensive etc.

like i said, go with the flow, can hardly stop these masses coming right? they want to see the freakshow that is (was) pttya, so let em have it, there is no stopping em anyways; the flow takes you to soi LK, or dark side even

im pondering hua hin vs udon thani

both being easily reachable, both a bit flavorless yet a lot of facilities

a little smalltalk gets you a smile and a way in sometimes, a bit hard when visiting several countries in the region (cause they all decided on some local dialect)

my favorite being the Issaan 'no': booo ... cracks em up every singel time

any direct, any asian; hate Dubai airport, so apart from Emirates, Arabian airlines are second (Abu Dabhi airport is ok)

concluding bits of the Vuelta ofc and the Sillypore F1

go with the flow, cant stop market demands, old hands are bygone farts - the times they are a changeing

visiting every nook and cranny in thailand since 2000, gyrating bkk (ofc), pttya, isaan, khmer region and neighbouring countries

foody, no end to discover asian tastes in food
