There is a new company just started up here in sleepy Isaan country. STA Services is a property management, tour booking, motorcycle, car hire booking, and accommodation company. It is easier to say that they pretty well cover it all.
STA Services has been started up by a few expats and their Thai better halves. Tom, Lance and Lek will do all the foot work for you. If you want to sell a property, have it rented out, seek accommodation, hire a car or motorbike or go on a tour, the guys can help you.
The two better halves of the expats speak excellent English so you won’t have the lost in translation problem you get in Thailand. So if traveling to Ubon Ratchathani you can give them a call for any needs you might have.
Tom – 085 410 7191 or Lance – 081 607 9851 or Lek – 080 480 4378.
It can be a little tricky to find, I will put a map up at the end of the post. If you are a local then it is next to N-Joy an expat bar that is run by Lance. Lance is what I call an old style publican, the way good old publicans used to be. Loves to have the odd beer, shoot the shit and have a good laugh. He is a really good guy and calls a spade a spade.
This was just after the Remembrance Day service, the expats were just starting to trickle in for some free tucker, a few cold drinks and a good old chat.
N-Joy is open late most nights if customers are willing to consume cold beverages and there is also a pool table and darts to keep you entertained as well. Don’t play Lance as he is a shark and also the local Irishman as he is a real shark and will happily relieve you of some money. There is a very multicultural crowd that gets to N-Joy, sadly I don’t make it there often as readers know, I don’t drink much and spend most my free time with my niece.
N-Joy also has a book swap on offer, you bring books in and exchange for others. Also there is a dvd swap as well. If you are an expat newbie and would like to meet some more foreign locals, head on down to N-Joy on a Friday or Saturday evening. Lance also cooks a great feed as well if you are feeling peckish.

N-Joy is the blue marker at the bottom left of the map. It is an approximate of where N-Joy is. You head down Phalochai road, past the prison on the left and maybe another 600 metres and N-Joy is on the right hand side.
