If it is not under warranty, then try computer plazas on northwest part of moat. I've seen some repair shops there.

 

But I think the repair charge might be more expensive than buying a new one....

 

 

naa its not under warranty ,

My external monitor refuses to turn on, thought I take it somewhere to see if it can be salvaged before I go out and buy a new one

Any suggestions on a good spot? 

Hello Everyone,

I have a shared condo pool attached to my place however it is outside.  I enjoy doing laps in the small pool around 30 min to 1 hour and try to do it 5 times a week.

Lately though as we have seen the air quality has been quite bad, 174 I am looking at the index today.  Probably not the best idea for me sucking in air as I exercise in the pool.

I was curious if anyone knew of any indoor pools around Chiang Mai (Maya Area preferred but will make a longer trek if need be) that allow you to have a drop in fee and use the pool, locker room, showers etc.  It does not need to be some Olympic sized pool, just something that is easy to do laps back and forth.

Anyone know of any good options around the area?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Anyone have any suggestions on where an English speaking person may learn the Korean Language?

I am not looking for a Student Visa.  I have two nieces that are half Korean, lived there most of their lives but now live

back home.  Thought it would be fun to pick up some of the language before I head back home in a few months.

I already have a working knowledge of Thai. 

Anyone have any experience etc here in Chiang Mai?

Cheers

thanks everyone for the options, I did end up buying a pair at Pantip which I liked, find them better than my old oakley set and much cheaper, talked them down to 1000 baht which is cool by me, but will probably looking for other pairs in the future so I will use all your ideas, appreciate it greatly

ebay is good but I like to be able to try the sunglasses on before I purchase

Cracking sets of Oakley shades at Mae Sai for 80bt each or 3 pairs for 200bt.

what a fantastic price.....in the independent Glasses shop inside the Tesco I saw the identical sets for between 7k-9k baht.

And that's why Mae Sai is great for stocking up....what do you mean they are knock off?

I mean by knock off I just want the lens to actually be able to protect the eyes from the sun UVA and UVB light .  I didn't just want a colored lens:)

IS it a particular Tesco at Mae Sai? I do not venture out that way to often

Heya,

I need a new pair of sunglasses, need some suggestions on where I can find a good selection and half decent prices.  I looking more on the 50 to 150 dollars range

for glasses, preferably closer to 50 to 100.  I see all the glasses stores but they are all 6000 baht and higher for the most part.  Also, dont want some super cheap knockoff that don't actually protect the eyes.

So looking for some suggestions on stylish, quality and won't break the bank sunglasses, suggestions?

"I don't like naughty massages!"

 

i knew someone would chime in:)

I know there are dozens or even 100's of massage places around Chiang Mai.

Was curious if anyone had an recommendations for a good place to go. Quality and reasonable price.

Just to clarify I am looking for only a massage:) not any added extras if you know what I mean.

Thanks!

I've also had a run-in with this shop.

They wanted 3,000bht to replace the front fork when a bolt from the disk brakes had fallen out (after they failed to tighten it after a service they did).

Went to a typical Thai greasy shop-front repair place, and they fixed it for 50bht.

good to know, they been pretty good for the lights and oil changes but this is the first time I did something outside the box per say,

will certainly investigate my options to see what others say.   thanks everyone

The problem is attempting to eat 30 grams of high quality protein in one sitting within an hour of heavy resistance training.  For example, you would have to eat 8 large egg whites to get that amount.  Yeah, eggs are a better and a more complete protein, but downing a whey isolate shake is a heck of a lot more convenient.  This isn't really a 'meal replacement' as it is getting sufficient protein in your body at the optimal time to maximize protein synthesis.   Personally I only use it after resistance training which is two or three times a week. 

yes the convenient factor is why I buy it.  I have just seen people actually rely on it, like 2 or 3 meals a day is a shake and not real food.  I usually have one shake a day after a workout around lunch time with some frozen berries and a handful of almonds.. but that would be my only time I use it and that wouldnt be every day but 3 or 4 times a week.

Did you go to a Honda main dealer I find it hard believe that a Speedometer light cannot be fixed , unless there's a design change of some sort, maybe it's just something simple like a bad wire connection to the Speedo unit.

this was the honda dealer just up from Maya.  They didn't do any investigating I just said what was wrong and he said it had to be removed, I will check out some other places mentioned in the post see what I can find.  Like I said it is not urgent as I am not speeding at night or in the day, the front head lights were certainly the priority.:)

Guess you stay in Pattaya or Phuket or Bkk ?

How does protein powder compare nutritionally to eggs and chicken breasts?

In my opinion it is always better to eat real food for protein.  I find protein useful when I am in a hurry or just looking for a quick shake with some berries after working out etc.  I would not rely on it as a meal replacement, once in a while sure that is okay but not frequently.  Real food is better! 

Recently my  headlights burnt out which I got replaced quite cheaply.

However my Speedometer light also does not work.  It is not the end of the world as I am not trying to break any speeding records

while I drive at night but it is kind of nice to see the speed when I look down instead of blackness.

While I was getting my headlights replaced I asked how much it would cost to fix the light on the speedometer.

He said you can't just replace the light but need to replace the unit from what I understand with my Thai.  In any case he said it would cost

2500 Baht to replace.  

I didn't do it at the time but was curious if that sounds about right?

Thanks

there is a Sandy's past the central festival mall on the highway.  That little complex that has the Macdonald's there is a Sandy's there still

However I been picking up my protein lately on Lazada, I get the same protein on Lazada for 899 Baht and sent for free, usually takes two or three days to arrive.  The same protein at Sandy's is 1399 Baht

The Expo shop on Huay Kaew Road just before Canal Road on the left has plenty of cold weather gear at excellent prices. If you fancy something fancier North Face have an outlet in Central Festival which has quality kit at a price.

thank you

Khun Took at Rajavej is excellent! Highly recommended.

 

Yes, now they require a letter of referral from a physician.

Can it be a letter from an outside surgeon as from another country or will I have to see someone local to get it?

The CMU Outreach centre, Ruamchok plaza,  is very good for physio, circa 500 baht per session.

great thanks!

Heading to Switzerland on Oct 10th and I am so not prepared for cooler weather.

Need to get a few things like a warm jacket and gloves etc. 

Recommendations in Chiang Mai where I can get quality warm gear? I presume there must be a couple places around here for those heading out of the country

Thanks so much

May I recommend Khun Noy

Noy now has a clinic on Chang Moi, the road from Moat to Warorot Market.
I know Noy from the swimming pool and all who have used her Physio services swear by her.
