Try this one - its an interactive map of CHiang Mai developed by the SIPA project... It's a bit slow for my liking, but it depends what you want it for...

Enjoy.

Payap University in Chiang Mai offers several degree programs that might be of interest to you; http://www.payap.ac.th (or http://www.payap.ac.th/english)

They allow foreigners to study in their Thai language degree programs, assuming a suitable level of Thai of course! The fees are a little more for non-Thai's, but there isn't that much in it.

If none of the Thai-language programs suit you, there are 4 international programs, but they aren't B.A. programs. Choices are Computer Information Systems, International Business Management, International Hospitality Management and English Communication.

From what I've seen this is not untypical with many universities offering places to non-Thais.

/me waits for genocide trials

Wohay!!!!

Any photos?

Just popped on to see if anyone had any info...

I've heard the flood is coming in 4 hours (i.e. around 6pm) as another dam has burst upstream + lots of rain in Mae Hong Son area on its way down...

Sounded a bit exaggerated and melodramatic, but who would take the risk?

The thunder last night was something!

Thanks for the news and updates - please keep them coming... There's a lot of conflicting information out here as to whether its getting better or worse. I got out in my car early enough this morning so I'm at work, but have got to decide whether to risk taking my car back home or whether to leave it at work... If its as bad as or worse than this morning, then I'm walking!

For those trapped with cabin fever - is it getting better? worse? or the same?

The mead is in my cupboard.... I'm more than happy to share it with someone (or rather give it to someone!)

Good to meet y'all...

Am looking forward to a much deserved lie in.... And then have an after lunch tee off booked!

(The missus is off with her Mum!) :D

A friend of mine drove past the new golf course last week and said that it looks finished, but it's not open yet... Could be any day!

Hmmmm.... The first 2 time, I got 0.... It took me quite a while to work out where I should click... Got better though - 34 and then 45.

105? bah!

1/2 hr practise? I had 4 goes and closed it down...

I normally play at Maejo - no real membership deal, just a few benefits from registering, but a great quality new course... 9 holes after work is normally around 400 - last week it was just 220!

The toughest and most expensive course around is Gasson. Picked up details for there yesterday and they have a 30 year membership option for 160,000 (155,000 cash) which then makes it 200B a time green fee - definitely worth playing the course, but not sure if I'd want to be a member there....!

I'd be interested in finding out the membership costs for Chiang Mai Lamphun, Lanna or Green Valley, but I normally just take advantage of various vouchers and discounts I get hold of!

Am in....!

I've created my team - is there a thaivisa league to join???

The first beer tastes wonderful - the second one is refreshing and the third sends me to sleep!

I'm planning on it... Yet to see if I can persuade the missus to come along though.

Incidently, it may only be me that cares, but did you realise it's the first day of the premiership season that day? Man U Everton starts around 6 ish?

Right now I have to lecture for 6 hours on a Saturday...!!!

3 hours, then an hour for lunch and back for another 3 hours.... I do let them out for breaks though, otherwise it would be impossible!

I wrote that book!

Nice graphic.... - where did you get it?

Mind if I plagiarise?

MK

I only eat there when I'm forced to, through being polite to Thai guests.... I normally then pretend I'm already stuffed and then head to the food court as soon as no ones looking...

The duck thing - about the only edible food on the menu, and even that is just bearable. I don't get why it's so popular...!

Not wanting to spoil the party... but I suspect the OP means the anniversary of the launch of ARPAnet - officially on 1st September 36 years ago - so hold the drinks for a month...! (The actual links between nodes weren't put in place until November / December that year though!) No one normal could actually use it for some time though, so its hard to say how young the internet really is IMHO...

Nice!

Erm.... Who?

Excellente, looking forward to it!

I somehow missed this thread, but any room for one more?

I've not met any of you, but would like to meet some friendly farang faces....

Ought to check with the missus too though... hah!
