Yes I wasn't really interested in the $100 dollar events more the ones which are free. Anyone know if they still set them off at Thapae or near the iron bridge and what days? 23rd November or just 22nd?
Loy Krathong falls on 23rd Nov, but in CM the festival lasts 3 days starting on 21st Nov. Yi Peng falls on 22nd Nov which is the full moon night.
I never heard of any mass release of lanterns in Thapae or Kad Luang area. The road on west bank of the river, between Charoen Mueang bridge and northside pedestrian bridge, will be closed to traffic in the evenings. You can get a lantern from the many street vendors for about 30 baht to set it free on the spot.

Another option for to put into your planning - go to Maehongson.

O.K.
Ours has never been less than 425 over the last 11 years; usually around 485 and even more during the hot season when we water the garden usually twice a day and shower frequently. Our neighbor's bills are more like 600-800 but they have bigger gardens than we do.
2 live in the house. Both do shower morning and evening. Bathe the dog twice weekly. About half of our meals are cooked at home. Water the few shrubs daily when it doesn't rain.
Water bill has never been more than 200 baht.

Over last 4 years had rented directly from the owners 3 times already.
First time a small furnished apartment in a shared compound. Minimum 6 months lease. 5k deposit and 5k upfront rent. Average 1.5k for monthly utilities paid with the rent. Cable tv and Wifi included. Shared washing machines. When I left no fuss at all. Owner came to hand me back the deposit.
Moved to a 2-storey 2-bedroom furnished townhouse. No washer. 10k deposit and upfront 10k rental. Minimum 1-year lease. Cable tv included but no wifi. Owner has engaged a managing agent who lived nearby. Paid monthly rental to her directly and got receipts. Also got back deposit in cash on same day moved out. (Was prepared because 1-month notice was given.)
Now stays in same type townhouse inside Village with security, clubhouse and swim pool. Minimum lease 1 year. This time deposit is 2-month rent and upfront 12k rent. Cable tv and wifi included. Paid rent to a bank account given by the owner. This is stated in the lease agreement.

If u intend to stay in the Mueang district (i.e. the city district), it's not too big to search around on your own. Just drive around look out for the banners, call the numbers, verify they are the owners and make an appointment. Often it's immediate. Or u may Google-search the number first. If it shows up usually it's the agent's. From experience it's much better to deal directly with the owners.

Uber and Grab are just another choice, and of course it's a welcome one. As this is Thailand i wonder if there's any wisdom for the petition to regulate the Songtaews? Eventually market forces will set the numbers.
From Big C Maehia to Airport Central Plaza, i ride a yellow songtaew for 10 baht. Red ones cost 20 baht. Too many songtaews running the roads? Sometimes i waited 20 minutes.

The smog problem is not just particularly in CM and CR or generally Thailand. It's the entire South East Asian countries. Personally i feel it's worse south when the Indonesian farmers burn fields bigger than some towns. Cities like SG and KL got hit so bad that it becomes a health hazard.

makes me wonder whether it's a shift in the climate? Temp dropped in the past 3 days. Is it now the beginning of the cold season?

could be off-topic, but i thought it appropriate to give a word of caution.
booked bus ticket and paid online (VISA) via greenbus iOS app. Nothing happened. Call their service center and was told refund cant make to foreign bank. Sent email to them thrice and ignored.
btw app is OK for booking. but dont take the option to pay online. Pay at 7-11, but need to make a trip and incurred 25 baht fee.

Was looking for an automatic. Because im not very good with the clutch, particularly starting on the ascend. Wifey insisted on the manual model because she never learnt driving with the automatic. Reading this makes me happy i gave in to her.

Came in late and missed the fun. Sorry, back-track on the part of Korean girls being the most beautiful Asian girls.
Firstly i agree. Then it brings up the question - North or South Korean girls? Many would say it's the latter, right? Then why the striking difference? They live in the same peninsula.
The S.Koreans are obsessed about aesthetics. If you dont look good you lose out. Parents want their daughters beautiful enough to hitch a rich husband, want their sons handsome enough to pass job interviews. Here's the supporting fact - S.Korea has the most surgical makeover per capital in the world, and the figure is almost twice of USA.

You will feel more safe here than in most China cities.

If it's about living in which of these 2 countries, i cant contribute anything. Years back when i visit Manila and Bangkok as a tourist, I didnt return to Manila after the second visit. One just cant feel happy there watching the state of poverty on the streets.
A close pal runs a business that requires him to visit both cities very regularly. He told me every time in Manila he hires an armed escort.
As for the girls, IMHO Pinas seem
friendlier because they speak better English and are more desperate to find someone to get them out of the country. Thousands of Pinas work in my home country and I can say for sure that they are not that friendly here.

If you went all the way to Lamphun and only got a discount of 200 Baht, then you didn't bargain nearly enough! Typically the price can be negotiated down 30% at those places. We used to go often.
[emoji15] 30% discount off prices that i already consider "very reasonable"? As a matter of fact staff at most shops would just point to the price displayed and claimed they had no authority to negotiate.
I did try to bargain hard. I actually examine the bench for any insignificant imperfection just to try cut the price. Eventually the staff did make a call on the spot and gave the final price at THB5300. (Well, could be an act.) Anyway i wasnt there specifically for this item, so i drove off to the other stores in search of things I went all the way there for. In another store i caught sight of a similar one with a price tag of THB6000. When the staff said it's fixed price i didnt inquire further. And i didnt look closely to compare quality though.
I didnt find exactly what i went for, so on the way back i stopped the store and get the staff to load the bench onto my truck. Granted it was an impulsive buy. The bench is still sitting oddly in my living room while i figure out re-arranging my furniture.
Btw, im living in Mueang. Seriously i dont consider distance within 50km radius of my home as "all the way". I had travelled further just to eat a meal. [emoji5]

Thanks so much for the info on Daeng's Shop. Eversince wifey got the Click last year, I have been regularly running around the 3 Honda dealers in town hoping the right rack would come out. Will check out if Daeng can custom-make a rack to fit on a basket for a pug.
