    Canban, there is a lake/pond at some place about a mile from the hotel. Turn right as you walk onto the street. There is a walking path around it and a so-called gym adjoining and I think it was 5 baht per visit. Was never open at any time I strolled around the lake. Took at least 4 turns around to make an hour's walk, including the walk too and from the hotel.

    I must concede that there are some nice evening type restaurants in the town. One near the lake also. You really need some local to take you around to find them. There is live music in one big one and the singer guitarist was quite good. Couldnt speak any Angrit/english but could replicate the songs tunefully.

    Haha funny........mine told me I cannot drive her scooter because I am too nervous, we should put them in a competition. I told mine I was leaving tomorrow, she is still at work but response was calm and remains so. I think there is another farang with deeper pockets in sight. I may be wrong but when I threatened to leave her a few months ago she showed up in Bangkok. I see no such hysteria this time. Mine you, she is 28 cute as a button and I am your typical 57 year old farang ha ha. Will fill you in, the beer cooler Down stairs is emptying ha!

    We have been to the big bar by the bus station a few times, I went by myself on the weekend and I was very well treated. Lots of people came over to sit and chat, even got a free cd and a beer from one of the singers. Unfortunately probably the least nice looking Thai girl, I think it was a girl, followed me out of the bar, only moved on when I asked her if she wanted to take on my Thai gf whom I live with....little did she know gf was out of town.

    Have a Canuck friend enduring in the big town Khon Kaen. He and his spouse (married) decided to leave the fleshpots of Jomtien and Patts for the clean air and living of that fair burgh. But, he has been there a month or so and has returned to Jomtien 2 or 3 times in that time. Always with an excuse but does tell me that he is finding it hard to settle down to suburban bliss up there. His lady is a Kalasin outer limits girl who missed her family somewhat and thats why he made the move. He will probably read this and gripe. Maybe you two can meet up for a beer or two. Bear in mind though, that to him "two" could mean "X".

    Keeping in mind that Kalasin has one of the lowest/nominal resident Farang populations in the country - certainly within the framework of Isaan.

    A handful of Farang-based businesses [bars, restaurants, etc] exist.
    If your bag is Farang-dependent and all the mixings that might be associated with these social extentions, Kalasin will not please.

    Travellers, tourist - non existent.

I did not own a car back then and she was only way I had to get around out in the middle of no where. A few days past, and she got to the point of not taking me anywhere and was giving me the silent, sad routine. She was charging me for my room and food and that was adding up. Her family got involved and they both started hounding me about the dowry. I lied and told them I needed to go to Pattaya to close the sale on an 8 million condo I owned and would return in a few days with the gold and cash. I was IMMEDIATELY whisked to the Khon Kaen airport by her and the her whole family. She asked me for 3000 baht to pay, for her dad's gas and I said I would be back on Monday with that as well. I bought my ticket and as I walked to the boarding area the whole family was furiously waving and smiling and wai-ing - I never so Thais act so active in my life! I waved and smiled and as soon as I walked through the gate I opened my mobile phone back, pulled out my SIm card and through it in a trash can, I have not been back to Kalasin since.

    I've been to Kalasin for a couple of weeks in total. For the town it's self, RS has it spot on. If The Master Cool's way of living is your thing, then it would be OK.

    Just googled things to do in Kalasin, this what i got

    Option in Kalasin, Thailand
    Because of its rural setting Kalasin has limited activities for visitors to participate in other than visiting the natural and cultural attractions around the province.

    Lovely mountainous areas and well-known reservoirs abound.
    Countryside is dominant......

    Known for it's sub-cultural cuisines.
    etc..

    Oh dear.
    One could use these same old stereotypes as such applies to Isaan provinces.
    You'd be surprised at the greater percentage that don't belong to this class....and married off to the old geezers.

    Kinda insulting to Thai ladies [as a populous] and Thai society.

    Yeah. I have met some nice people in Kalasin and they werent all falang. I guess its a matter of luck and what you are looking for.

    Spent a bit of time in Jomtien talat bars and met some nice K ladies. One especially had a great butt. I used to wake early and "moon"over it whilst she slept.

    Funny enough you mention Roiet as the missus was at the local native market this morning and chatting to one of the gals there. Seems the big news is some lucky MIL in Roiet just snagged a 9 million THB sinsot for her daughter's hand to a rich Farang.
