So.... where in CNX do we find this wonderful lady?

Sorry David but that was so many years ago and over the ensuing years she gained so much weight and her fingers got so fat, she lost all her clients.

PS Don't worry, just hang in there , she's on a diet........ write to you next year.

I'd be surprised if there were any at all, apart from some Chinese nationals perhaps. Though there is that guy who said he used to go there to his remote office, I reckon you'll be the only westerner or one of only 2-3 that live there, if you go. Lashio is the kind of place where if you're a westerner, you'll receive equal stares and smiles at every corner. It's rare for foreigners to venture there, even as far as tourists go.

Thanks for that Jimster.  I'd about given up hope of any response to the post.  Thanks

again.

but he is married

Don't believe the rumor that when you say " I DO " that you loose your voice.   If you persist in believing that, I will introduce you to many, many wives that will prove that wrong.

His main base is now in Bangkok but he does still have a place in the Gymkhana area....his wife also has land in Mae Rim.

 

Never met the guy but have spoken to his wife on many occassions.... she is a very lively and funny lady,

WILL A MOD REMOVE THIS POST..... ATTACHED TO THE WRONG POST  THANKS

If you have a chance to go to Mai Sai, you will see hundreds of these,and I saw none in Chiang Mai.   Now I see there is at least one or two.

Did anyone else see the most unusual double rainbow  yesterday evening around 5PM  [11/Aug/17] ??

In have seen rainbows before of course, but never a double one and the colors were reversed.

Army to capture pigeons? I suppose if there are more than 5 in a flock they will be in contravention of some law or other, but why is the army being used? Surely there is a more appropriate authority to deal with the pigeon problem. Have the army any idea how to dispose of them humanely?

The army is being used due to the fact that the navy and their aircraft carrier couldn't make the turn in the klong

I have had several people , over the years, ask where can you see [on internet] the winning numbers after a draw.  There used to be a site where you just type in your number and it would come right back, win or not.  I forgot what that site was and now when trying to Google up the site, you get a vast multitude of sites but none showing a full list of the numbers drawn.  Why the big secret.  I am guessing that as it is a government run lottery, that it is alright to talk about it.  Why is it such a big deal to see what the winning numbers are????  Does anyone have a website that gives the simple winning numbers in all the brackets??   Doesn't the government lottery office publish the winning numbers someplace?

It doesn't pay to get old......  I have no difficulty in calling abroad...... then problem is once they understand who is calling  and what I want, they keep telling me I got the wrong broad

Geriatrickid,,,,,, whats with you....   One may be forgiven for believing you or maybe your family is somehow involved with the Thai Police Dept.

3 are mentioned in above post # 2

.....on above post,  make that " NOW ' located/   and maybe this same kindly mod can tell me how to edit a initial post ...   aka post No 1

Can some Mod please tell me how to get to, and where the banking forum is now located.????????

People from here, or maybe even those who have lived here for a goodly number of years, who now accept this as their way of life are not on this thread bitching and griping.  It seems to me that the bitchers and gripers are those who would not be satisfied with anything.  They unbeknowingly, perhaps, perceive themselves to be better than the rest and should be accepted as gods gift to their thought of lower beings. If you come to an area, look around a bit, then decide you would like to live here,,,,, why on earth do you feel , that you as an outsider should try and change things to your liking??  Why ???  .... and to you know who, I am not saying you should not have an opinion.....yes by all means have your opinion, but don't visit someones home and when you get there decide they should paint it a different color, more to your liking.

Never ceases to amaze me.  Some of the things that people gripe about are and have been in place/operation for years and years.   Most surely in place when the gripers decided to move here.  But hey,  move here under those conditions and then gripe about and want them changed to their comfort and satisfaction.  Makes you want to shout out, " Hey , who died and left you king of the world".  To those gripers, you do know what the answer to your plight is....... of course you do.

There is a solution for those so bothered....... make your lunch a take-a-way or find another area more suitable to you , for your lunch..  I cannot understand that someone would constantly return to an area for lunch where they are so annoyed.  Its balance..... if its too annoying go somewhere else.....if you like that restaurant so much, it just come with the noise.  We each decide for ourselves,  only Mr.Trump rules the universe. ..... or are you Mr Trump??

Are there any expats on here living in the Lashio area???   If so I would appreciate a PM so I can ask a few questions.

Re the closure of the 2nd hand market.....  Yes there was traffic there on the weekends when the market was open.  But anyone with half a brain would know that you didn't have to go down that corner. Coming off the Super Hwy going south you have Charoenrat that would take you south of that corner with the market,  and to miss it on the north side  of the market there is the north end of Tung Hotel Rd. Going east or west you have Kaew Nawarat from the river to the Super.  No, if you didn't live in that corner, you had other not really inconvenient paths to travel.  I think it was a ideal location for that market for years. ....and just to point out , that much liked market, after being moved a couple times, and providing a probable small income to quite a few , .....where is it now???  Sanemax from your posts, could you be one that may live in that corner??   I also suspect lower level beaurocrats  of being led into making a bad decision.  Good for the few , bad for the many...... Me-ism over We-ism

Sad news again.   Did not see much of him in the past few years and now another of the CM old timers has gone.  RIP Dennis and give my best to all the old gang.   Not many of the 30 year ago gang left anymore.  RIP & Godspeed.

I will state my terms for accepting Dave2's passing.  Also being on this forum for a goodly number of years, I know of D2's propensity for rushing out and getting photos of whatever site subject was at hand, it would seem within minutes of the original post.  SOOOO heres my term for ackknowledging and accepting his passing.  If you have truly left us D2, I know that you will surely be in heaven.  Sooo  I expect you to be up to your reputation and post photos of the place.  I await your post with great anticipation.

Say its not so !!!  If so he will be missed by many.   He and his photos were a huge part of this forum.  If there is any mire information on this, please post.

As per the above,  Bangkok Bank or SCB debit cards, anyone know if there are any ATM's in which these

cards can be used in Hseni or Lashio ?
