tartempion Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Dear Oz, I live in Nong Mek, district Nong Han, 42kms East of Udon Thani. From here take road 2096 North, will get you to Ban Dung. Dear God situate Chang Noi swimming pool at Ban Chang, half way Nong Mek - Ban Dung. I know a Ban Tat half way on road 2096, not a Ban Chang. There is famous archaeologic site Ban Chiang nearby but not on road 2096 so??? When God travels to Udon I think he takes road 2270 from his hiding place then 2096 South, then 22 West at Nong Mek. Sawang Daen Din where God knows every bar and discotheque is 35kms East from my place. (I can confirm God goes drinking there incognito) God until now has proved not to be very good at locating places on Earth Since I am 10.000 kms away from my lovely will need to wait to last week of May to drive up road 2096 to check God's findings. I sure will report back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 It is indeed a small world, my ex young thai gf (as opposed to my ex mia noi) lives off the 2022 near Ban Chai. I use to ride into Ban Dung just to have some form of civilization experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous God Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Tartie, Not Ban Chiang, but Bang Ghaeng, or Elephant, hence the name little elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi, "Ghaeng" That has to be the weirdest transliteration for the Thai word for 'Elephant' I have ever seen No way would I have figured that one out Tartempion's transliteration ('Chang') makes a lot more sense. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous God Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 True - Normally I write Ghang but didn't want hi to think I meant beer village 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Me thinks God drinks bia Chang too mut and thus can not spell names of villages around his hiding place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Speaking of my ex young thai gf who use to live off the 2022 near Ban Chai (Udon Thani district) I had asked her once where was a swimming pool nearby where I could go for a swim. She did, at the time of my request live at Ngam Wong Wan almost opposite the big shopping centre there but could not tell me of a pool nearby. Mind you, she had lived at that address for about 4 years. Well blow me down, if there was not a swimming pool complex on top of the large shopping centre. Me thinks you (the OP) did well to find this new swimming paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 To live happily with the Thais one has to blend in you know So don't be too clever on exploring new grounds etc. LOL mind you it has taken me probably at least 1year+ to realize the mall (ngam wong wan) has a rather large swimming complex at it's roof (upper level) & actually charges are lower than baan nok (~50bt/adults I believe) I do have another pool closer by though...

ozpharlap Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yes, that was the pool I was referring to, the mall ngamwongwan. Which pool are you referring to nearer by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 we used to swim in that pool often at the mall, oh well, alas no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
