Yes the Red Cross (my mistake)... It is just down the road along the river from the US Consulate...

Which Government Hospitals have a pharmacy that has lower priced medications?...

Apply for a 1 year retirement visa in the USA... It's a pain... (Weird medical certificate and getting a letter from the local police)... But the visa is good for a two year stay.... 1 year vilidity plus 1 year stay...

Does Blue Cross Clinic on Wichayanon Rd sell HIV prescription drugs and do viral load blood testing similar to the Blue Cross clinic in Bangkok?

If not where can discounted HIV related drugs be purchased (with a doctors prescription) in Chiang Mai?

Much Thanks

Hello I would like to find a Doctor in Chiang Mai that has experience treating HIV. He/she should speak English and be up on current treatment guidelines. Thank you for your recommendations.

I for one will not be riding my motorbike around the moat...

Guys at MBK in Bangkok will replace it while you wait for 1,500 baht

I don't think what you want is too out of the ordinary for the locals to build... I would look in your area at the new row shop houses that are going up along the road - simple boxes... Use them as your base and modify... Stick to a standard grid of 4 or 5 meters... Have the builder build your box and you finish the inside off... I would also recommend having a two roof system where the top roof is just corrugated steel with big overhang that takes the heat and let's the air flow underneath...

The new red tuks are quieter, cleaner and roomier so if they replace the older ones, it is a good move.

You say that now... But in 5 years of the same maintenance schedule they put the old ones through they will spew out twice the pollution and take up twice the space as the ones that are cobbling up the city center...

I might suggest you look in your area for an old shophouse/townhouse to rent cheap (~ 5k/month) and gut and make into a loft style...

My idea too.

I have visited a shop house in BKK that had been totally remodeled by a (foreign) architect. The place was truly impressive in its design and viability. It was even more shocking when, from outside, you could see the remaining units of the project on both side of this home. Their lack of inspiration and awful pattern had been entirely wiped from the renovated one. Cruel comparison

The search function in the iTunes Store sucks... Type in "Microsoft Office for iPad"

Cinch. Going up the back way is a little more interesting.

That's what she said

That's what he said...

Just remember going up is the easy part... But be careful when you are coming down as speed apcan pick up and it is a lot harder to stop... And if you ride the brake you might make a couple stops to let the brake drums cool down...

We went to the Dukes for pizza tonight. In 7 years I have not been disappointed with their pizza yet. The Thais in my family will not eat pizza anywhere else but the Dukes.

My Thai partner is the same... Sadly we must order the Hawaiian to really please him... I make a bi-weekly date to go khondiaw so I can order sausage & pepperoni...

My partner has the IQ-X... It's a great phone... The only thing I would say about it is that the battery life is not so good and finding any third party cases is impossible...

Which version of iPhone 5 does Truemove H sell?

A1428 or A1429?

Khun Nai Dern Sai on soi 11 is a nice Thai place with outdoor garden or if you drive a little bit go to Galae Restaurant at the end of Sutep Road - both are nice places to take CM visitors

Oh also Yangzi Jiang - Chinese resturant in old colonial-style wooden house on the right side of soi 5

I was recently at a coffee shop (across the road from Four Seasons in Mae Rim) and they have built on to the coffee shop and used some interesting terra cotta bricks that one can see thru (see photos)... The bricks are about 10cm square and look to be extruded terra cotta - Has anyone seen these for sale in any of the building material places?

There are many and if you are careful and alert you will be fine... Also wear the helmet not only for your safety but the police may stop you and fine you.... Enjoy your holiday!
