The guy is certainly dressed like a 5 star hotel guest.

For the past two years I have used a laundry service operated by Sopha Thavonr and her family. She picks up and delivers--and does a beautiful job with the ironing. Sopha also speaks English fluently, although she doesn't read or write it. Give her a call at 0817960210. She's a valuable resource on many fronts for a newcomer to Chiang Mai. Say that Monte recommended her...

Incidentally, I give her a thousand baht in advance, and she charges against that deposit. That way, she can drop off laundry without having to collect money each time--and I don't have to hang around to pay her following each delivery. Her accounting is always meticulous.

Where is this laundry located please ??

Let Kobkarn travel undercover and let him visit Samui and Phangan as well so he can witness the mafia type structures who are running the local transport and other tourist related businesses first hand.

In the mid 90's the locals on the islands were a bunch of friendly fellows. That has changed and is getting worse every year.

Finally, after years of encroaching on public beaches, something is being done. Hopefully they extend this crackdown to all the other islands and beaches in the kingdom.

Mr. Sinsakorn needs help.

Does anyone recognise the beach ???

Nang Nual Beach on Koh Larn

Where is Kad Korm community ? How high is the water level of Ping river, anyone living nearby ?

Any floodings along the river by now ??

bug spray from the super market, get a can with a steel spray tube, insert in bug holes and spray

Yep. The ARS bug spray does a good job. Ideally, it should be used as a precaution when the furniture is new.

My wife had her Seiko wrist watch cleaned and the battery replaced at Central Kad Suan Kaew 550 baht.

How long did that take ??

Is there any place that can be recommended ? Preferably inside the old city or on the way out to Arcade bus station. Thanks for some input here.

The cops think its pretty funny as well, probably cracking similar jokes. 555

Looks like it indeed.

So vendors are not being fined for encroaching public land or for overcharging tourists. Instead they receive newly dsignated areas ??

Try Hang Dong, Ban Tawai  or Lamphun in Chiang Mai province. That's where were all the furniture is being made.

Cheaper than you think

My experience with motorcycle tire problem is the inner tube blows out and the tube has a big rip in it...

These spray repairs will not work in these cases.

So its only recommended on tubeless tires ?

How about an on topic reply for a change ?? 

An institution for all kinds of chicken on rice dishes and moo daeng as well. Spotless clean too.

On Kaeo nawarat road heading towards Arcade bus station turn right just opposite where the saturday fleamarket is. The Place is on the left after 50 meters.

And around the corner back on the main road are a few good restos too.Just before McCormick. All under 50.

 

 

I was up at Monjam yesterday.  Beautiful area.  You can rent little cabins, tents or a proper guest house.  The prices are higher but you'll have spectacular views.  I guess you can probably find a van or something that goes there.  We always take the scooters.  Right now it is rainy but I think mainly in the afternoon.  I actually want to try it out during a rain storm.  Would love to watch that from a mountain top.

Monjam? Where's that?

 

about 90 minutes, more or less north of CM.  At the top of a mountain.  Here is a map link.  http://goo.gl/maps/XlK5Z  Spelling can vary.  MonCham, Monjam, Mon Cham etc.  

 

Nice map feature thanks. And not far from town too.
 

Just curious to know. Has anybody ever used this stuff ?? I cannot imagine you can blow up a tire.

Tesco lotus has it for sure. I have 1 in the car all the time.

Make sure you take out all the remaining air of the tire fist otherwise it will blow up ( explode ).

After repair you still need to get the tire fixed because the solution will only hold for a few day's.

Good luck

Cheers gonna go there tomorrow

Do you mean the aerosol can with connector to tyre,so if you

get a flat in the middle of nowhere,you can connect the can,it

will blow up tyre,and whatever stuff is inside will also fix the

puncture?

if so i have seen them in Big C, or you could try car accessories

shops.

regards Worgeordie

That's what I mean. Went to Big C, they don't have it.

Does anyone know wether you can buy motorcycle tire repair spray in Chiang Mai. Thanks !!

Yes the market in the Festival Mall is excellent, a joint venture between Tops and UK supermarket Waitrose it has a huge selection of European goods. I shopped at Rimping for years but the Festival Market has a better selection and it is also significantly cheaper, especially for cheese, and they even have Kellogs Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

Went there yesterday and checked out some items I normally buy at Rimping or Makro. All more expensive and you can't just park right in front of the store on a motorbike. Its quite a walk from the two wheel parking area to the supermarket. Will not go again. Noticed only very few other customers in there too.
 

Deport him and blacklist him for 20 years

Makro has a good selection.
