    Hey Wayne,
    There's a little place there that does delicious Isaan sausage at 10 baht per stick. That comes with the usual cabbage, ginger and chilli. We did a vlog on that place a few months back.
    There is also a great fruit shake place across the street.
    Love your vlogs as usual. 😁

    Had no idea Wat Ket went all the way out to the Narrawat bridge. I live at the other end, near the Nong Hoi market, in the Riverside Condo. Can't beat the location, hi way and Old City are a short jump away, as is Plaza 89.

    • @WalkAboutWayne

    What a Bobby Dazzler mate .Although I could live at most areas you've featured this one ticks most of my boxes . Maybe a little further away from city centre & closer to rural escape route would tick the last box .
    Good price on 1 yr old Aerox with 4170kms @59k . List new is 85500 I think .
    If you saw a new one advertised @ 65k I would be thinking of the old saying " if it sounds to good to be true etc etc "

I saw that someone else said the tax was 30% but I can find NO evidence of that anywhere. Maybe it's 30 THB and not 30%.
