  1. I couldn't give you an actual temperature vs the rather more generic description of cold. I usually stop swimming early-mid November due to the water temp. Experiences may vary, for example if the pool has direct sunlight or heating.
  2. Closed and went on the market late last year/early this year.
  3. If you need to do a border run, go to Chiang Khong instead - the Laos border is open. There are vans doing the run and Green Bus also has a service from Chiang Mai.
  4. It changes depending on the season. Currently it's primarily coming from the east and southeast.
  5. With great difficulty - they are not designed to retain heat. Can be unpleasant before dawn in December and January in the North. For the last few years every year I say I'll buy a heater and I never do, though.
  6. Things must be really bad if Super Poll can't get a 97% approval rating for a senior government figure.
  7. Kamthieng Flower Market
  8. They should be included in the rent payment. If you're in a private moo baan with pool and clubhouse, there will be a common fees but that is supposed to be part of your rent. Garbage fees should also be part of the rent and notably are not expensive - I live in San Sai just near the Doi Saket border and it costs us 300 baht for six months of garbage collection. You buy stickers from the local tambon office and put them on garbage bags to be collected.
  9. Is it ok to name other suppliers here when Asean Now has it's own designated advertiser? I'm just finished 2 grams of Green Crack from a shop that previously advertised here and is well known and I am very happy with it and would buy it again. Had primarily been buying stick from the same place which is also a good smoke, whereas their more exotic and expensive options I found to be hit and miss.
  10. Not sure if it's ok to name shops here or not but you can buy stick online, often in multiple variations and reasonably priced as in <100 baht/gr.
  11. See the results from the last election - his base is slowly dwindling. The North and Isan used to be uninterrupted red and slowly that is changing. Where do you think Anutin is getting votes from?
  12. Why title the video with Thailand when all they talked about was Bangkok and the BMA? The cables are like this all over the country and there are various schemes in some provinces to remove them, for example some better known roads in Chiang Mai have already have them removed.
  13. Is this the only time it's acceptable to mention The Bangkok Post here?
  14. Flew into Chiang Mai via Singapore two weeks ago - vaccine status checked both departing and on arrival at CNX.
  15. Ops card has expired, it's a free swap for a new one. Source - had mine just about to run out and got a new one about a month ago. If the card is lost, however, 400 baht for a MC, might be less for a Union Pay card.
  16. The only time they'd typically ask for additional information like that is if the house/condo is not currently in the system. I was told once to bring the owner (my partner) and then on return, I was told bringing her was not necessary so they can be fickle. They will want the tabien baan though if it's not in their system.
  17. Under changes a few years back, he can work a second job under his existing work permit as long as the second job is not a Thai-only job. No need to list it.
  18. Had 3BB for about four years and switched earlier this year to True - True had a better offer both in price and what they threw in including a Sim with unlimited data on top of the Fiber 1,000/500 broadband connection. Both work fine - 3BB does have HBO Go but I found except for a few programs I barely used it. Haven't had any issues with True.
  19. What's the parking like at the new location?
  20. Only clicked on this due to the title - what is "blackcountry" referring to?
  21. Maybe some places don't have it but it has been free in Chiang Mai since it became available and fairly sure it's free in Bangkok as well.
  22. Interesting question. That they are being sold does not necessarily make them legal. Below are the links to the laws banning hookah pipes. Notably, it describes a hookah as water pipe of Arabic or similar design... used for the inhalation of smoke." Obviously a bong is not a hookah but you could roughly argue it is a somewhat similar design used to inhale smoke. https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/files/live/Thailand/Thailand - Ban on Hookah%2C E-Cigs.pdf https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/files/live/Thailand/Thailand - Consumer Protection Board Order No. 9_2015.pdf
