  1. Hans,

    You must be the cheapest Dutch Charlie in Chiang Mai.

    99 % of the topics that you start are about cheap, cheaper , cheapest.

    1.500 baht is cheap already you understand?

    To the rest of the world, the Dutch are in general not cheap, they are rather generous.

    I'm not Dutch but I feel sorry for your fellow Dutch country men on this forum.

    Hmmm 1st of all I'm not Dutch and I never claimed to be. You shouldn't make assumptions.

    "99% of the topics you start are cheap, cheaper, cheapest" Is that right?

    2nd You're under the impression that I think 1500baht is expensive, It's not.

    My point being is that the price was given to me via a middle man, I just want to cut out the middle man as that's the way I do all my business dealings. In the future if I need more work done, why sould I go through middle man all the time?

    I took a couple of friends there a few weeks ago on a Wednesday night having remembered the post by Nancy and the Wednesday special, arrived about 8pm and there were no customers. Went across the road to Samo (drinks promotions there are not what they used to be) for a couple of drinks, returned at 10pm to see if had livened up but there was still nobody there.

    There used to be a very popular place there which shut down about a year ago. No idea why it closed down. Also a few bars on the left between Smiths and the RattiLanna Hotel have also disappeared, including one run by an English guy and his wife. It was a nice little area of bars a couple of years ago, but now only Samo and the deserted Smith Pub remain.

    This English guy and his wife are now on the kamphaeng ding Rd.

    look for the sign Citirin , truly a very nice guy

    Is this Nick and Nit, you speak about? I'm out of town at the moment and haven't been to their new place. Are they still open late for the football?

  3. I'm heading down to BKK for a couple of days and I was thinking of booking into Nasa Vegas. It's within my budget for this trip. it looks good on their website but so do Big Macs on the menus.

    Is it alright, any thoughts?

    Thanks

    Hans

    I bought a Thai ticket CNX-BKK last week. They were having a promotion - 2160bt. Don't know whether it's still on.

    It wasn't too long ago they're were around 1000 baht. The last time I flew up was April and it was 1750 baht.

    Do you think if I leave it until a few hours before I might get one cheaper,the price may drop to fill up the plane?

    Just looked on the Bangkok Air site. They're doing cnx-bkk at 1790bt till 31st December. Join their FF club online and you get 30k allowance too.

    I went to your link but when I go to buy it's 2700 baht.

    :/

    As many expates as well as Thais know, Grace Dental Clinic is outstanding although certainly not inexpensive. When you first go in I would recommend you see the boss Dr. Karakot (who happens to be a prosthodontist) I have been going there for 7 or 8 years and always have had the best care.

    Yes indeed, I've heard of it. Where is it located?

    I hear you cannot get a driving license on a tourist visa,I got a license on a tourist visa a few years ago,things change a lot so best go direct and ask.

    I renewed my first one year drivers license 10 months after it expired, and there was not trouble at all. Just bring in the necessary documents such as passport, medical certificate, certificate of residency (500 baht at immigration, and the renewal is a simple and straightforward procedure.

    Can you get a Driving Licence when you are only on a tourist visa?

    I got a drivers license with a tourist visa in February,2011.Just showed my USA license.took a silly test and paid some money. Also had the paperwork mentioned above.

    So if I did get a drivers license, can I register a motorbike in my own name?

  9. Are the Viagra pills that come from Mae Sai Safe or do they work? Can you get the real ones over the counter in your local pharmacy? If so, how much are the real ones?

  10. Is there any Karaoke club (with the nice hostess) in this town that wont rip you off? I mean a place where you can walk in, agree a price ie 100 baht an hour for girl, such & such for whiskey and mixer etc etc and at the end of the night get a fair bill to reflect the evening you have had?

    Or is it just me, that gets ripped off ?

  11. Try the saturday market past Ban Tawaii on the way to Doi Inthanon. Get there early, I think it starts at 6am

    5000 - 6000 Baht. I don't think so. More likely 10 000 - 15 000 Baht. :)

    You can get some bangers in that range at that market, your right though there is more choice in the 10-15k range but there are still bikes in the lower range. Not sure how long they would last but he says he wnts a banger and for that price he'll get what he pays for.

    I'm pretty handy with a spanner so a rough one would do because I could fix anything that goes wrong with one myself.
