At home here in Canada and I came across your interesting stories and photos about Ubon. Sure makes me homesick for Ubon and the times we once had. I've been in Canada for 3 months, trying to make a go of it for a few years.My wife remains in K.K. awaiting sponsorship. I may not last though. Ten years in Thailand ruins you for returning to North America. I feel like a foreigner here. Hope you're well and keep up the diary. I'll look you up one day on my return..All the best.

I have seen many additions to the town since I have been here. I am hoping through it all Ubon can manage to retain it's character and identity. <br/><br/>Check out this site if you want to see how Ubon looked during the mid 60's to mid 70's. http://www.tlc-brotherhood.org Thanks for the comment Jay,

I love your sense of adventure..... The taxis are starting to cover more of the city these days which is great news. Five years ago when we purchased our land/house in Tambon kamyai you would be lucky to see a taxi all day up and mostly the wife and i had to use tuk tuk's back and forth from the hotel to handle the purchase. Back then it was just a dirt road past our land and now they have concrete roads throughout most of the village. The village has grown in a short space of time from village to Town status now with Taxis running up and down past our house there every hour or so. Thinks move on at a real pace over there in the city. <br/><br/>Your story of the girl made me laugh and I remember my first trips over to LOS where I thought I was unique in as much that I seemed to be the one who was labelled "handsome man" and had a friend who looked like sylvester Stallone gone wrong slightly and over weight. They shouted at him "Hey Locky"!! guess they meant Rocky!............<br/><br/>Anyway keep up the writing its great to read about Ubon.<br/><br/>All the best.<br/>Jay Hi Darwin

Anyway keep up the writing its great to read about Ubon.
