Dumsoda's supposed to be dead? Really? I can hardly believe it. I am frightened. For the last 5 years I have been a regular guest with him in Nong Khai. He had together with his Thai wife a restaurant "Jing Joe... (Kangaroo)" and a guesthouse. That was in the Soi Rim Kong directly at the Mekong. In the year - I think - 2017 he moved; about 400 m to a Soi, whose name I don't have now. He told me that the rent had become too high. The restaurant went well, but the three to four rooms he rented were rarely occupied. Dumsoda, it was always good with you. Friendly, helpful, courteous. Wherever you are now, my dear John, I hope you are well. An affected and consternated Nasiadai

Can't believe I would say this, but the degree to which people actually listened and responded to each other on this board during its hey-day is something that sets it apart from others I've seen, which are just kind of shotgun posting, or squabbles. Back in the day, this one was much more about exchange and appreciation. Cheers to that.
