Merry Christams my Chiang Rai friends and family,life is the greatest gift we have,be happy...The Gov.

My wife has been telling me quite a few (Thai) jokes lately and none of them made me laugh in the slightest,which got me thinking that all the jokes she has ever told me have never been funny,(for me anyway) maybe its all lost in the translation,mind you she doesn't think my jokes are any good either,so does ayeone have a funny Thai joke? there must be some funny ones out there,..... Merry Christmas to all........The Governor.

Thats the thing over here,its all bloody foreigners eveywhere you go,everywhere you look. the Gov......

Hello Bargash and welcome,

chiang Rai is a super place bit it is growing rapidly,after reading you posts,i was interested in your comment ' Build networks' as you seem to be a nice guy with lots to talk about,please tell more about the networks,good luck....The Governor.

The allied forces carried out more than 400 bombing missions over Bangkok during second world war 2....The governor.

It might be possible to know all the members of a particular subgroup but to know all the expats of the Rai would surely take some doing. With the farang residents spread over such a vast area in Chiang Rai one could hardly expect to maintain a village feeling or know everyone. Some might think they know everyone but that is another matter.

Meeting new people is a joy and with new people arriving all the time things certainly do not get stale socially. The insular nature of the old boy's club or the bar culture can make it hard for the newcomer at times, one might guess.

Times change, places change, even people change. Guess I'm not one for nostalgia because I always feel like now is the best time. So, no I do not agree that Chiang Rai is getting too big nowadays or that there was some perfect mythical past.

Then again my perspective might be a little warped by more than 30 years in Bangkok before moving here.

I said NEARLY all the farangs and 16 years ago we pretty much did and of course i enjoy meeting new people and making new friends,one of the nicest things that can happen in our lives.So from Bangkok to a farang in a village,hence your monicker,if you had stayed here a good while back you might see things differently. the governor.

The governor likes this weather,best time of the year for a long lie in.

Does anyone agree with me that the once nice litttle city of Chiang Rai is now getting just too big nowadays? I feel this is the case,ihave been a resident for many a year now and the place seems to have lost its charm,it used to be that nearly all the expats and farangs seemed to know each other personally which gave Chiang Rai that really nice village kinda feeling.

With the opening of the new Central Plaza and all the new expansion i believe this place will get to be a big city with no charm... The Governor.
