I have seen the motorcycle taxi on my app for a while now.  What is Get (Go Jek) going to be doing that is better than Grab?

We don’t really know yet, but more competition should be good. FWIW I tried both Grab and Go Jek in Jakarta and preferred Grab.

That's a real shame. A motorcycle taxi for short hops would prove very convenient for me in Chiang Mai.

The Amari, though old is unbeatable for convenience. They have a covered pedestrian overpass from the airport direct into the hotel. No need for a taxi if you can manage the 400m or so walk.

To minimise stress at check in, I would recommend checking in online if you can and then getting to the airport at least 1.5 hours before your flight. After checkin you could always go back to the hotel until 45 mins or so before flight time.

No airlines worldwide are flying the 737-Max at the moment. It will probably be an Airbus A320.

The photo is not at Spotlight. It’s a different bar. Yes Horst still owns Spotlight. It moved to a new location last year.

The eco car simply means a max 1.2L engine. The rest of the car is exactly the same as offered in other markets with a 1.5 engine. Build quality = same

Being classified as an eco car means a lower rate of tax. That’s the main reason it is cheaper.

If you need it quickly, the deciding factor may end up being the delivery time. Long waits for some models. Be sure to ask how long until you can drive if away.

For a daily commute I think the Yaris. It’s the newest design, has the most safety features, including rare in Thailand, 7 airbags. The smallest engine and best economy and as a bonus is also the cheapest.

Good news. But this should have happened 15-20 years ago.

Looks like they raided a dentists convention. All those face masks, 

Our daughter went to CMU about 7-8 years ago and lived on campus for the first semester only of her first year. She came home on most weekends. Overall, the experience seemed to benefit her and probably cost us less than if she had been living at home.

I think one semester was all that was expected, though the Uni didn't seem too strict on it. Some stayed on there for multi years and I'm pretty sure that some of her friends did not live in the Student Halls at all. 

Our son followed about 4 years ago and never lived on campus. I was told that he did not have to as some of the halls were closed for renovations that year.

More likely has cross posted both places.  The user name is almost the same.  

No. It is about freeing up  02, 03, 05 and 07 to be mobile phone number prefixes.

Don't think many of those were sold in Thailand. I have used a place on ground floor of Kad Suan Kaew that if its fixable can fix any phone any brand, so ask around.

Yes. Go to one of the computer plazas. Find a shop that stocks plugs, screws and other small computer bits. They will make you cables up from the bulk cable roll. On the other hand, the length that you want are commonly used in enterprise as 'patch cables'. Pre-made patch cables of the right length may be cheaper than getting them custom made.  Ask in the same shop.

The obvious solution never seems to be mentioned. Make taxis use their meters, instead of sitting all day at the airport refusing to use them. Bangkok and a number of provinces manage to do this. Enforce it nation wide. Uber will then be competing at a similar price, right now Uber are not only better, but less than half the price.

...did the massage businesses get raided or closed down by TOT?

Raided by the phone company? No.

I agree.  The craft beers in the states are some of the best beers I've had.  The west coast is full a fine brew pubs.

It truly is a shame that thais can't make a living from being craft brewers and selling their products.  It's a shame the 2 major breweries here have that protection.

 

Give Namton's House Bar a try for imported and Thai craft beers. On the CM - Lamphun Rd near Gymkhana. Check reviews on Facebook, Trip Advisor and here https://www.ratebeer.com/p/namtons-house-bar-chiang-mai/51514/143150/
