Can anyone tell me of any cafes with the fastest download speeds in Chiang Mai?

Thanks!

thanks for the replies! I'm busy with work and study during the week, so weekends are more convenient for me. By the way, is the mae ping one open on weekends?

2 more people attending!

hello,

As per the title, I am looking for a physio for my hand in CM that is available on weekends as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I have just been fooling around with a phin that was gathering dust at my girlfriend's home and would like to try and tune it properly.

However, I am not really sure what tuning I should use.

This website suggests a e' a' / a d' a' / a a' a' / or a a' e'.

Also, the instrument I have has stickers with the notes on them, but I am pretty sure they are wrong (for example the frets marked F and G on the high string are a semi-tone apart, rather than a whole tone)

Any help would be much appreciated!

thanks for your replies! I will be in touch by PM.

does anyone have the cd for the book

"Thai for Beginners" by Benjawan

Poomsan Becker that I could either borrow or buy off someone? apologies if this should be in the classifieds section.

thanks everyone for the help..

Boo or Towzak if you hear of a teacher in Phon willing to give one to one lessons for falang, yes please let us know!

pianoman, great of you to point that out.. I looked at the Khon Kaen forum, but somehow managed to miss that one. I have the details of the course now.

Martin. I actually contacted Katt a few days ago and she said she might be able to come and give individual lessons in Phon, however the cost would have to include her transport and time taken to arrive here of course. However if both of us are interested I guess we may be able to split some of that extra cost? I will PM you in any case because its also good to meet another falang in these parts!

from muang Phon? really? I thought there were only 6 falang in this town! please send those details ny way!

hansl do you have any info on those "commercial enterprisrs"? can't find them on the net at all..

I have just moved to live in Phon (75 kms from Khon Kaen) for a while and would like to take intensive Thai lessons. can anyone send the contact details of any local teachers? I realise there are rules against advertising so a PM would be fine.

thanks a lot in advance!

2 tickets for me and my girlfriend please!

Hi

Apologies in advance if this has already been answered before, or/and if I am being a bit thick.

I am flying to bangkok this evening, will receive a 30 day visa on arrival (wanted to get a 60 day one in advance, but ran out of pages in my passport!), and would like to go along to get it extended by 7 days in the morning.

Also another official looking website mentions several offices - http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/intro1.html

Will any of those do?

Following on from my separate post about where to get a decent flat white (apologies for the duplication of topic and thanks for the replies), following one of the recommendations I found the flat whites at ristr8to really top notch, a place that seems to take coffee pretty seriously as you can see from these pictures!

I have managed to find just one place (Neo Cafe on Huay Kaew Road) that serves flat whites. It was ok, but nothing compared to the ones I've had in Oz, NZ or back home in London. Does anyone know anywhere that the barista can churn them out really well?
