-- Today, (12th.), forenoon I was chatting with a Pattaya-based Aussie. who likes to visit 'UP Country.'. He recommended the flg. -

1.- KORAT, (aka. Nakon R'sima.), wch. is approx. 160M. NE. from BKK.as the crow flies:
1.1.- CHAROEN HOTEL., nr. to ROBINSON'S; no problems with bringing back companions;
1.2.- CENTRALWORLD., (ex-Big C.?), cruisy;
1.3.- BOY BOY., (?), Karaoke bar;

2.- UDON THANI, approx. 350M. NExN. from BKK.:
2.1.- THE MALL., cruisy.

I queried about the need for us farangs to speak Thai? He replied that many of the younger men - above the legal age, of course - can manage enough basic English to make themselves u'stood..
