  1. You must understand that this is part of the natural cycle and is a necessary one. If forests were not allowed to have a "controlled" burn, the forest litter would accumulate and if it burnt, the trees would be killed. If the forest litter is allowed to burn a little at a time, the trees would not die. So we all just have to live with it.

    Natural cycle, my butt, most of the fires in the hills are man set, to clear jungle, chase snakes, and other reasons.

    The burning of rice fields still exists, but not to the extent it used to be.

  2. Hey you guys,

    I am a total newbie Irish lad who is, for the last 2 years, married to a lovely Thai girl here in Ireland, we are really hoping to move to Chiang Rai in the future,

    (maybe far future, have no idea) and just wondering if any of you guys can let me in on life there. I have been in the city for short periods but have no idea what expat life is like there.

    Im a very easy going, relaxed and quiet guy who hopes to find corresponding surroundings.

    Although being Irish, I do like having a small local bar to relax in and have a drink with sound people.

    I have no interest in clubs, go-go bars or any of that malarkey.

    I do love live music though.

    Any general tips, warnings, advice or encouraging stories would help me to focus on getting through my tedius life in Ireland.

    For example:

    Is it a relatively new expat community group?

    Are there already too many farang bumming around?

    Is it turning into a circus for foreigners looking to escape the "tourist areas" and slowly turning into one itself?

    Is the expat community small and integrated into the community?

    Can I find a cool area to get to know the great lifestyle of Chiang Rai residents?

    Any help will be relished and much appriciated.

    I'll keep an eager eye in the ThaiVisa world from here on.
