I like the guy right across from Kad Suan Keaw... Good price - you can keep your passport with a 3,000 baht deposit... And I wrecked on of his brand new Honda Clicks which scratched it up pretty bad on the side and he only charged me 600 baht... Oh and go there to rent in the late afternoon when all of the bikes from the day have been returned and you get a better selection...

And lastly tell you friend to get a international drivers license before he comes or give him a map showing him where the police station is on the river...

Many of the hotels give out free maps where advertisers post their ads and location on the maps...

Without Loy Kroh Road Chiang Mai is the Santa Fe NM of Thailand....

It may be a haven for Chinese trying to diversify cash assets but the Chinese may well find themselves in financial difficulties also and then CM could really suffer.

The 800 pound gorilla in that room for sure...

I don't see the Chinese as ever being big players in the Chiang Mai real estate market... They tend to travel in groups so a big development on the sea side is more their style where they control all the cash flow... And the Thais don't really make individual Chinese welcome in the community...

The real housing market gorilla for all of Thailand is living in Hua Hin...

Official fine is 200 baht... and "you pay now dai mai" is usually 100 baht... 

Please do tell the old mansions you intend to visit?

I enjoyed with my son up until the touts harassed us for a tip on the way out, quite aggressively and was given a very dirty look when I refused. I paid the entrance fee and guide, 100 baht for 30 minutes work....why should i pay for temple fees, extra from the guide halfway through, good luck donation etc? The money for the guide was plenty and by the number of them hanging around is was clear the locals were all expecting to make a living off it. None of them bothered to ask Thai nationals for a tip. Typical harass the tourist for money tourist "attraction".

 

Given she is the only one with a lantern and you don't know the way out I wouldn't begrudge her an extra 50... 

I was stopped at the same interception last week on my way to HomePro... Showed my Thai Drivers license - then he asked me to see a copy of my motorcycle green book showing ownership (which I had)... Then on my way... Very professional... I do not think I was profiled because I was a foreigner...

I would note it was the end of the month and they may have been out making their quota...

I have seen AIS store advertising 100 minutes talk and 750GB data for 219 baht a month...

 

I have True H prepay plan 199 a month for 1gb data... and calls are 1B/minute

The rental office near the lobby handles the hotel like rooms there... Talk to Joy at the following website she handles units that are rented out by owners... She is great... I stayed there while I was renovating an old townhouse... Overall a great place... The only thing I would say bad about the place is the building provided wifi is terrible!...

Buy the phone here at a place that will give you the VAT refund paperwork and get the VAT back when you travel abroad...

if you want to vent your frustration...

Go to Trues speed test page and do a test - then take a screen shot of the poor test

http://speedtest.trueinternet.co.th

Then create a nice polite email with your account number and a brief statement that you are experiencing slow service (see attached screen shot of you own speed test)...

Email it to them their own speed test a couple times a day for a few weeks

They have to cover the cost of those snazzy new vests...

Pretty much all the Thais I see now are happy

There is one Thai who is unhappy... Because it rains everyday in Paris...

I wouldn't trust a Mexican restaurant that had nice menus...

I find it safer to walk in the street than any sidewalk in Bangkok...

This thread seems like an Immigration ploy

The pool here is not on the roof but has a beautiful view, in a convenient spot and in your price range...

Football? Soccer? I thought CMFC stood for Chiang Mai Fencing Club!

I suppose there's enough room in this town for two clubs with the same initials.

I'm from San Francisco and thought it was Chiang Mai Fisting Club... After I clicked I was sadly disappointed...

Are there direct flights from CMX to Hanoi or Saigon?...

I don't see any problem with it... Better than going into a stall and seeing dirty foot prints on the toilet seat...

Which Oppo model did you get?
