  1. If I had to drive around the city I'd buy an old truck with bull bars on the front and do the decent thing.

    Yes!

    If anyone can modify an old truck into a Mad Max style road clearer, I'd be happy to chat. :-)

  2. I see the Chinese having a lot of accidents. Rental shops must be profiting from insurance AND what they can get out of the renter, otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to rent to them, as they are h*ll on wheels and everyone knows it.

    They are generally easy to spot, so I avoid them if possible and am always scanning the road looking for them.

    Used to be I was worried about the Thai speed demons, now I worry about the Chinese and long for the days when only Thais terrorized the roads.

  3. I go later in the day (before dusk), have never been charged entry. It's a nice place to enjoy a sunset.

    Usually, no one is even in the entry booth when I go.

    That said, 20b is fair for park entrance. By international standards, it may not be very impressive. However, by Thai standards, it's quite nice and not far from where I live.

  4. They got me today near the park at the most.

    Went to run in the park and took nothing but my keys. Bad idea. Nailed me for not having my licence.

    I was in the wrong but they were total as**oles about it. Not the typical friendly Chiang Mai attitude they usually have.

  5. I have noticed the older tourist policeman at the stops now where they are targeting foreigners. No surprise.

    It will be a shame if they allow CM police to turn into Pattaya police scum.
