Amanda ********

Thank you all. I think I may stay the first couple of months with friends in Surin province on my tourist visa then move elsewhere to a larger town. Overall, transport, getting about, meeting people as well as getting to a college/University would be easier.

Obviously I have googled it without success. I have even asked my friends who live there and they didn't know either.

if you can't be sensible, why bother to reply. Obviously I have. I have even asked my friends who live there and they didn't know either. I usually find this group useful, it saddens me that, today, this was not the case.

@Kevin *********

on a serious note, this sort of thing could be perfect. Whats is it called? How much does it cost to buy/run? Insurance costs? Can you get something similar but without the open-top truck on the back?

I wish I could, my arthritis means I can only walk about a mile and the church is 30 miles away. 🫣....by the time I got there, it woukd be the following week. 🫢 I wouldn't feel safe on a moped. I would rather hire a car or even a tuktuk.

thanks. I think from Bangkok to Surin I'll get a driver with a car but longer term, perhaps rent. All advice is appreciated.

@Vitico *******

thank you, really useful. I have looked up the nearest Catholic Church with an English service is 45km away. I do want to be proactive in meeting people and getting out and about.
