ARISTIDE

Why someone can advertise here straight away!

I make sourdough too.

I keep wild yeast alive for a few weeks and it die

You can always purchase dried culture from Internet

drinking beer and make eatable food.

We are related.

Unfortunately the home maid killed my sour drought (spelling??) which was well adjusted to Thailand

Else I would send you a nice dark rye bread which is delicious like no bread you can purchase anywhere (need a good 30 hours to produce it no shop will do that anymore).

RIP little bacterias

No Flood in Chiang Mai. The last one last only a few days.

Never go to Kashmir for snow! Ever! Crooked tour guide, horrible people and polluted town and mountain.

May be you're good back in LA you know, if it's not fun why stay?

That would make him the youngest bank robbers in the history of LOS also

The Google translation says "I was born on 5 Oct 54 at about 14:15 pm"

That's only 5 days before the robbery.

You must try Samyaan Seafood (old Buonissimo place) as good as Huahin

There's a couple of really good seafood restaurants in CM that fly up fresh fish from down south. One is called 'Phuket Seafood' and the prices are decent. Another is Similan. Question about HH how is the weather/water right now? Thinking of heading down for 3-4 days but not sure if it's worth it and also wondering if flooding is an issue. Thanks.

SCB Bank Somphet on 5 October. A suspected bank robber named Wynn Michael Ludwig, British, 64, was arrested yesterday in Chiang Mai authorities said. Any one know where to read the news in English.

Why would they deny member ship because you are not Thai? If you are serious about swimming I would really invest in the Center of the Universe membership

salted pool and clean. But I don't go there no more as my condo also has salt treated pool :jap:

May be because couscous is exotic? That would be my reason (I'm not gay) In Chiang Mai if you play squash it probably means you are gay too because it's a gay sport now.

You must have left the west at least 30 years ago. Hummus, couscous, pita they all become popular in the west and even couscous is what gay people like to eat in the west.

For any particular reason?

IMO it is REALLY good and Mr Butter is Better goes there too. They use real olive oil in the hummus and the pita bread is excellent (but no pocket).

What's a hummus? Sounds like a cancerous growth.

I had a dream farang stop using Thailand as a place to support political thing in Burma

Some of the items are really good, try the chocolate chip cookies.

Direction wise a very uninformative post.

I tried a Butter is better in Chang Klan a couple of years ago, not too impressive, added salad to a breakfast, but think thats closed. I think there is one in NIM City Plaza , though that may have closed too, but not seen an Israeli restaurant there.

Much Thanks to both, glad to try them Yemeni food style. :jap:

Just next to Butter is Better. Don't have time to stop at the intersection, is it a restaurant or something else. Saw some hebrew writing like a restaurant menu. Already tried Jerusalem Falafel and want to try some more Israeli food thanks.

If they make burger and fries like they do at the main branch yeah.

It was bad in town and the area near the river, but all get clean up pretty quick. Business as usual now

What flood? As of yesterday 3 October 2011 I don't see no flooding in Chiang Mai.

So how bad is the flooding that you see?

'Tower Bridge' Love the English sausages!

Buy a small car , Chiang Mai is the capital of accident on motobike it's worth it.

Why have a car? It seems to be a big, unnecessary expense when there are so many living options in town and transportation via song thaew or tuk tuk is cheap and easy to find.

Hubby and I spent a month here on a recon mission in 2006, living like retirees -- i.e. getting involved in the various outside group activities of the expats club, meeting people, etc. We developed a "preliminary budget" and shared it with some of our new friends over lunch. They gave us some valuable insight. Then, armed with the budget we returned home, meet with our financial counselor and proceeded to sell our business and home and move here just as the economic meltdown started in 2008. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Be sure to include costs for insurance -- medical, life, long-term care and contents of your home. Also consider the costs of maintaining your visa.

Also think about travel expenses. Will you return to your home country often? Our financial counselor had a couple other clients who retired to Thailand. He said that one couple still had issues with their lives in the U.S. and a couple of unexpected "emergency" trips back to the U.S. (to take care of aged parents and a college kid in trouble) wiped out all the savings of a lifestyle in Thailand.

I think may be it is what the officer should do at a divorce situation to ask if the couple are making any mistake. Also they may wonder why so many farang like to marry bar girls from isaan and expect better from them.

From Nimmanhaemin. More to come as I saw from the news

1 October 2011 IT'S RAININING REALLY HARD NOW AGAIN !

Where in Chiang Mai are you located? Is this the tropical storm you think, or something local?

1 October 2011 IT'S RAININING REALLY HARD NOW AGAIN !

I pay around 8000 but as a renewed member and I'm allowed in the gym after 10 am to 4pm and no classes. Which are all fine by me. I have things to do in the morning and I hate classes.

I have heard of people paying as low as 8,000 for a yearly membership, but I just went in to get a quote and they said 13,000 for a year, 10,000 for 100 hours that can be interchangeable. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks
