As a woman, I have never had one problem in Chiang Rai. I have always felt safe otherwise I wouldn't be here There are quite a few Thai/Chinese here, also Chinese culture and the celebration of important Chinese events. Both of you will fit in nicely. The Northern Thai's are friendly, helpful and courteous as long as your reciprocal.

There are a couple of Supermarkets where you are able to get a lot of Western foods, at a price Housing is good, you can rent from a couple of hundred a month to a thousand US per month, whatever your choice is. A lot of housing is furnished.

All according to your age, or whether your working here, your main problem will be visa's. You really need to spend some quality time inquiring regarding these. Retirement visa's start from the age of 50.

CR looks forward to meeting you

Isn't it information they have anyway. Address, bank account details, phone numbers, all are required for a retirement visa. Parents name's .. deceased .. Home Country details .. I live here, so no home country details. Where do you spend the most time .. everywhere in Chiang Rai. Emergency details .. good idea .......

Do you know Jetyod Road, starts at the clock tower and finishes on the road where the night bazaar is ? Follow Jetyod down past all the bars, down to the Night market end, past hang over bar. When you get to the intersection look right and across the road, there is a dental clinic. The dentist name is Angera, very nice lady and pain free

Stephen Le Cornu is his name ......a good bit of work by the Aust Police and Thai Police

All this bs about IQ in the world is really beginning to irk me. Thailand is a developing Country, at least 50 to 100 years in some aspects behind Western Countries, especially the village folk. What was the IQ of the average Westerner 50 to 100 years ago? Thai's have an average IQ of 91 points. US today is between 90-100 points. Truth is, the IQ of the Western Countries has been dropping since the mid 90's, so I don't think Thailand is doing to badly, at least their scores are going up

Just google black sesame seeds and cancer .. old news

They have photos of these low life's. Track them down and put them into the monkey house for a week or two and charge them 5000 baht each. Just no respect for anything or anyone, dog eat dog !!!

There freaking mushrooms!!!!

Those 'freaking mushrooms' are someone living.......

Hi Alex

So sorry, haven't been online for a few. That would all depend on what type of bike you are after. 100-110-125-250-500cc. Give me a few more details and i'll get back to you. Go to www.st-motorcyclerentals/.com the bikes and prices per day are on their. Decide what you like and we can give you a monthly price

ST Motorcycle Rentals, top of Jetyod, near Clock Tower. You can rent a bike there without leaving your Passport, just leave a refundable deposit

If this is true and not hoax documentation, what worries me is the amount of festivities for The KIng's Birthday and the extra large gatherings for Ride for Dad.....the 5th and 11th of this month

We bought some furnishings and about 20 boxes from Cairns to Chiang Rai via Downard Pickfords, door to door literally. They packed it Australia and delivered it to our door in Chiang Rai. They dealt with ALL import paperwork and taxes, all included in the price. I would recommend that you give them a call. Our furnishings were old and new, because there is a Thai branch of Downards there was no problems. Both Aust and CR were careful polite and respectful to your things not one thing was damaged or broken .....

ditto to what Villagefarang said

Let's put it this way ......

You're driving home after a night out, you've had a few beverages. Your friend on a motorbike is riding next to you ( although this is the 1st I've heard of this ). Being irresponsible you drag each other for a while. You're not looking and BAM you run up the back of parked car, killing the occupant.

Here's your dilemma:-

You can be breath tested, taken to the Police station and charged, sent to jail until your due in court, be found guilty and spend the next 10 years in jail.

or

Act contrite, think of what could happen to your family whilst you're incarcerated, be given the chance to pay your way out to the deceased family so that his family are not impacted financially .. with no jail time.

Which would you choose?

Get off your collective soap boxes!

This is just the beginning I'm sorry to say

We had goods and household items shipped from Cairns to Chiang Rai .. We used Downard Pickfords .. Door to Door .. They dealt with customs paperwork, packed one end, unpacked the other and the price was very reasonable, worth getting a quote from them....

Ted

Do the survey again and ask the members in 10 words or less what the main deterrent is ........

Abbott is still trying to make brownie points off these two. What part of ' you traffic in drugs you die ' do some people not understand !

You have to be joking .. right ?

RIP to you young nipper.......

Hell to you Frenchy!!!!

What happened to innocent until proven guilty .......

I'm damn sure if I was going to commit suicide I would wrap a plastic bag around my own head

If Joe gets a multiple entry O visa from the Thai Consulate in his own country before arriving in Thailand, he wouldn't have a problem...................

No need to appeal to anyone, just get together and all refuse to pay 1 week. An empty market will bring change quicker than the military can most likely.

Would be nice if it really worked that way, but extremely hard to do since vendors must continue to make a living/earn money (they just can't go setup a new stall anywhere and quickly), probable threats to life and limb for not paying/leaving, and Thais generally don't t take such drastic action because it causes direct conflict which Thais try to avoid. Thais are just too passive for their own good sometimes; then again being too aggressive can be just as bad.

"and Thais generally don't t take such drastic action because it causes direct conflict which Thais try to avoid. Thais are just too passive for their own good sometimes; then again being too aggressive can be just as bad."

I think you'd be surprised how agressive Thais actually are when money is at stake. They'll happily knee-cap and maim for 500 Baht owed! If money - not passive but meanly agressive

Please don't generalise!
