Girls-Only Hostel ------> Such a nice way to travel. If you're afraid to live in the real life you should stay home and play Sims.

I hope this thread is a joke.

Thanks for the maps (both Greensides and ha55ha), always useful in the bookmarks.

it's easy, just say "MARLBORO DENG", and hold up one finger.

And much easier if you say "MAMBOLO DAENG".

Rent a Giant Anteater.

Sorry I was joking, did you drop some liquid in your laptop ? I know that if you have ants in a box of sugar, exposing the box in the sun will make the ants leave. Maybe worth a try ?

It has been 'usual' for only the last few years

Agreed, the last time it was terrible was back in march 2007. Could barely see the sun through the smoke 30km south of Chiang Mai.

The last four years weren't that bad, especially last year with rain and very fresh weather in mid march.

May I know, how will the weather be in Chiang Mai in November? Is it very hot?

November is one of the best time to visit Chiang Mai, not very hot and usually no rain. Actually from november to end of february it's always nice.

If I had a million dollars it wouldn't be that much in my home country (Switzerland - Valais). Barely enough to build a home in a quiet place and pay taxes.

And, as unbelievable as it sounds, I feel much more secure in northern Thailand than In my hometown invaded by hordes of fake refugees (thank to the Shengen agreement) .

I' ll definitely prefer to live here than in the nightmare imposed by the lazy Euro - fanatics.

I'll die here rather than living in a place where locals. elderly get less help than immigrants. (most of them involved in illegal traffics).

believe me or not, UE and the swiss leftists successed in making this place a third world zone.

Selling 45k baht

or trade for Ninja 250 and 2 women's diamond rings

I don't understand.

I have been taking taxis driven by reckless incompetents in Thailand for 30 years and have never died in a flaming car wreck so I would say NO, you don't need to wear a seat belt.

From WHO website:

There are an estimated 200 000 cases of yellow fever (causing 30 000 deaths) worldwide each year. Small numbers of imported cases occur in countries free of yellow fever. Although the disease has never been reported in Asia, the region is at risk because the conditions required for transmission are present there.

More people die from virus they get in hospitals than from yellow fever, so avoid hospitals at all costs.

Never had yellow fever or any other vaccine for the last 20 years travelling and living in Thailand. So I would say NO, you don't need it.

Now I only hope you have enough free time to test this large choice of video converters/editors. Have a nice week-end.

You can try MPEG Streamclip for Windows.

Never used it on Windows though, but works great on Mac.

Have an English version of the CBR 250 service manual? Or a link to one?

The PDF version : http://dl.dropbox.co...2032KYJE000.pdf

Installed it on both my iMac and MB Pro over Snow Leo. No problem so far except some apps (that I didn't used so much) rejected in a "Unsupported Apps" folder.

Great to use with the Magic Trackpad. I use the mouse only for games.

Nice yellow suit

You're right about the age limit for drinking.

But why these teens were left on their own drinking Spy in a beach bar ?

Read the last line of my previous post:

let the teens go out and drink without proper care.

The owner of the bar is not to blame, so many weird farang come here for holidays. Or do you want thai bar owner be in charge to educate the westerners about the dangers of drinking - swimming,driving dangers in Thailand ?

Blame the parents and that's all.

Well done Samuian.

Says it all mate.

Cheers.

Cannot say the same about your reply where you feel the need to repost all the pics again . That's OK, they are all in the OP.

Just boring to load one more time the OP pics.

The store owner that sold the Spy to the kids is doing it again today. No responsibility at all.

Sad news but is the guy who sold a big bike responsible for the dumb driver who crash in a wall ( drunk and with(out) helmet ) and die ? The best the bar owner can do is add a banner " Don't drink and swim" on the wall of his bar; but who will care if a red flag cannot alarm the few brain cells of some teens.?

And I forgot to add that the people to blame are those who let the teens go out and drink without proper care. These people should be put in jail.

I have an iMac 2,8 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 24", 4GB RAM, 320 GB HD nearly 3 years old. And unlike some people say, I have to replace the hard disk the first year and it took only 2 days at Apple Mac Zone in Chiang Mai. Never had the slightest problem since.

I have also a Mac Book Pro 13", 2,26 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD more than 2 years old, never had any problem.

Never got a single virus and I don't know what is a crash. The iMac is running 24/7 and the CPU is usually around 47° C.

The last pic just make me hungry.

Probably safer near any borders in Thailand than in Phuket IMO. And cheaper as well.

I'll give it a try, extensive Menu with prices.

OS X come with any language you would like by default.

The keyboard will be thai-US though.

Lion will only be available through the Mac App Store, ∼ 4 GB.

Not many people have the CBR for rent (that I could find). The only place that had it is Tony's Big Bikes. Can't remember the road but basically the road opposite the moat end of Loh Kroh (on the other side of the moat). Walk down there (you can't turn into it from the moat road going north).

If in doubt, ask around the motorbike rental along Tapae Gate (ont he outside of the moat road). They will point you in the right direction.

Price is normally 800 baht per day excl insurance (100baht per day). But he did it for 800 incl. I rented it for 2 days.

CBR 250 R rental place I saw, they have two of them.
