I think "Mae Ngad Dam and Reservoir" is the place you're searching for (it's not a lake)

Does Thailand have optometrists yet? Chiang Mai? I am thinking of O.D. optometrists - Doctor of Optometry. In understand there is a program at Ramkamhaeng University in Bangkok - any graduates? Bachelor's or Doctoral degrees?

quoted from prior post:

. . . . if you have any serious astigmatism, or any indication of any degeneration of sight in any one particular area of the eye, chronically "bloodshot" or irritated eyes, please, see an opthalmologist at Maharaj/Sriphat or Ram, or another medical facility. If you have any chronic head-ache, hyper-tension, you probably want your intra-ocular pressure checked (tonometry), also.

The people who do eye tests in all the glasses' stores here are NOT doctors !

O.D. optometrists is a program at Ramkamhaeng University in Bangkok graduates Bachelor's degree, The major is eye examination not excellence in medical

but if you have serious eye problem, lets check St peter's hospital on Chiang Mai - Lampang Rd, the hospital specializing in Ophthalmology

There's also have eye exam section in the hospital. if you want to make eye exam with doctor, I recommend this place

Welcome to Thailand

Every Thai people know that we can avoid inconveneince from police by put 200baht to the pocket

but I recmmend to make the licence right. life become better in CM

Hi, I am Thai People

1. Just stay in CM for a year, you will have a friends for sure.

2. Go to True shop, buy some smart phone with 3G package, every Thai people use map from cell phone, no one buy GPS

3. Sorry, you cannot buy land until you marrie with Thai guy and get Thai citizen. "Sop Por Gor" not "Sor Tor Gor" is not for sale to every one. Our Gov' create special license for Farmer who has no land to make plant, be careful the agent cheat you. However, you can buy condominium instead.

or even better, just rent and keep your money in the bank for emergencies, fun, travel, new car. Rent a very nice condo and have the flexibility to move when you want. No headaches.

Bottom line: I would find a really nice place to rent for a year. Someplace I know I will enjoy. Chill out and enjoy myself. Get to know a few people and the lay of the land. BUT MOST OF ALL ENJOY TODAY! Today is the only day you have. It's nice to have plans and schemes but don't lose your ability to relax and enjoy right now. And I wouldn't rush into to trying to find the "perfect" place to buy so I can THEN finally be happy and enjoy life in Thailand. I would remember to enjoy the journey a little and find a really enjoyable rental for the interim. When I first came I took a month with a Tuk Tuk driver (that I continue to use and that speaks great English) to looked around. I am glad I did. Some property manager will pick you up but it is nice to have you own "wheels" and meet them . I found a great place in a Land and House Park and I just signed my second year lease. This works for me and is what I want. I have a Koi pond and garden and patio and off street parking in an excellently maintained neighborhood. One necessity to look for is a property manager/owner that speaks good English. You need to be able to communicate clearly with them. I am twenty minutes from Downtown CM. My property manager is w/ Chiang Mai House and is a Thai with American citizenship and married to a Farlang. I have amazingly had no complaints about her. PM me if you want her #. She speaks perfect English and she has been a blessing.

Finally, I came around the same time with a friend. He didn't look around enough and settled on a Condo on Neimenheimen. Lets just say.... CONDO FROM HELL. Awful place big monstrosity and too TOO many people (for my and evidently his taste) and bad vibes. Look around and get something you can really relax in and that is within your budget and your charactor. I can actually say my living arrangement is really nice and very affordable and I am happy.

You made a right choice. If you want to know chill out place arround CM city, I can tell you via PM.

Good News!!

SuperBie, I see your avatar playing electric. I really don't know how this new shop is for electric guitars. I was really only paying attention to the acoustics. But from what I've seen, the shop on Changklan Rd, called M.I.W. (it's the first shop of two as you head south from Sri Donchai Rd,) has some really great electrics; American-made Gibsons, Fenders, Guilds, etc. Not my cup of tea...err...music, but I can recognize quality when I see it! How about you checking out the shops and giving us some feedback?

M.I.W is the palce for good brand Hi-End electric guitar, I been there many times

the price add about 5-10% from the cheapest place in Bangkok but doesn't matter to fly from here to get things

I can try the one I like here with a good suggestion from the owner

if you want to play electric guitar, this place is 1st recommend in Chiang Mai

This another event you can't miss. good band, good weather, beautiful place

I think this post just kidding, don't serious.

Good News!!

I think Thailand people welcome "Farang" than other race

Try Nim Express, ask them to go to get your suitcase from Patong and send to your address in Chiang Mai, need 3-4 days

or find someone who can take your suitcase to Thai post office in Patong and send to your address in Chiang Mai (Thai people call EMS)

Cost for shipping should not over 500THB per pcs (20kg)
