Im looking to build a prototype of an exercise machine and would like to get it made here in Thailand;

preferably in Chiang Mai or thereabouts 

but I appreciate any leads otherwise

Cheers

It was in both Cha-Am and Hua Hin this morning about 175 

If you don't trust the apps just look at the mountains, this morning you could easy see how dirty the air is.  Properly from burning, it goes a little down in the afternoon but raise again during the night. The morning air is here very unhealthy.  

 

What A Shame. Birdlife will disappear.

I'm in Cha am today, lovely fresh mountain air about 8 clicks from the beach.

Ive been to Cha Am 3x and the water was unswimmable due to blue bottles. Are they in the water all year round?

Im just back from Hua Hin and can hardly breath.  Pollution level is 160 there today.  Disgrace.!

<deleted>. I was considering HH as an escape from Chiang Mai during the burning season - maybe have to go further south ... suggestions for clean air in TH welcome. (my thai partner wants to get out of chiang mai but stay in TH during the first few months of the year while the smoke is on)

Why? What was her reasoning?

they are getting beaten by a much better product eg GRAB and are not willing to change their old-fashioned ways. Its happening to all taxis everywhere in the world. 

I'm suspicious because this has been posted on April Fools Day

I think Eastern Asians are sexier

Chinese/Japanese/Koreans > Philippinos/thais/Vietnamese

alot Thais try to look and act East Asian

That's pretty much nailed it all on the head. Accurate as far as my experience goes.

However, this short summary can be shared amongst the women of a few other Asian nations such as Vietnam and Indonesia.

The difference is that Indonesian women wear the term "Gold-digging" as a badge of honour and treat the amount of money they get get like a sports score !

The Vietnamese on the other hand can shut down quickly and suddenly reveal their be freezing cold heart

Okay cool than how about adding for all the people who already have their bike and car  license  a mandatory one full day traffic refreshment course?People most pay for this repetition of road safety and rules regulations traffic course  by them selves in order to have their license extended.

Hi are you serious about that u  like mine opinion about making it much harder to obtain car and motorbike licenses?because  i am not used to get positive replies here [emoji3][emoji2]so thats why reaction is suspicious 

I married my Thai wife many moons ago and could not be happier. I love her smile, easy going laid back nature and great sense of humor. She is always thinking of others and has a kind heart. Yes she has many of the stereotypical behaviors spoken of on here - loves food, a good nap, bad Thai tv shows and mirrors! Occasionally goes off the rails over odd things, especially if she feels she's getting ripped off, gets hungry, or thinks another woman is looking at me, but it never lasts long and her sense of humor more than makes up for it. But more than anything it's because of the love and respect she has always shown for me and my family. It's a pretty simple formula that has worked for us - I take care of her and she takes care of me. And she does so in a way no Western woman can compete with. Can't ask for more from a relationship. 13 years of marriage and still going strong!

I

Make it more difficult to obtain a car or bike lisence more lessons more theory!

Nah. I'd go for bigger jugs on a smaller body, less plukes on the face and more tats.

Really???
 
Small Thai ladies with a wazza pair of jugs and a bit of ink do it for me every time.

I would think that lack of attention is stupidity. Riding motorcycles requires 100% attention! At the end of the day, whether the motorcyclist is in the right or wrong, the motorcyclist will pay the price for any accident.
 
Therefore 100% attention IS required. Ride (or drive) to live.
 
As for the boy racers my message is get out on the track and see how good you think you really are. The bulls_hit stops when the flag drops!

it is a social problem; another offshoot of the number 1 horror here= mai pen rai

Young men are always risk takers. A world wide problem. Nothing new in Thailand, land of the motor cycle and scooter. The fact young cyclists die more often is not surprising, just sad.  

The most reckless riders - and ones that are risking their lives trying to impress their stupid friends - are always the (small) bikes with the loudest muffler.

The sound they produce makes the rider feel big and tough. This outward sign of masculinity is only needed by boys worried about the small size of their penis.

Immediately make these off-market offensive mufflers Illegal and help solve this disaster; if it saves one life, it's been worth it.

That's very simple: CM has the best massage schools of Thailand.

They come from all over to study there.

This is exactly true. I was going to write the same comment. The really superior massage schools are in Chiang Mai and take their role very seriously. 

Recently, the government has visited all of the massage shops in CM and demanded to see the qualifications of each and every lady and man working there. 

All the staff have needed to be dressed in a uniform (of some sort) and have photos taken together as a group.

Because my GF works many different massage shops, she has had to turn up to each with her qualifications in hand.

Maybe not, but it is free and easy to do and requires no assistance from anyone outside the building. As such it should be the first step after applying fines/interest and warnings.

 

Another free thing to try is to put up a list of units owing money in a prominent position. Many (not all) Thais would be concerned about this loss of face and would pay up simply to avoid it. Even the threat of publishing a list would get some Thais to pay up.

thank you for this; great idea

If it's a condo, there is mandated 51% Thai ownership.

I am unaware that a Thai owns 51% of my condo?

How can I find out who is this mysterious person?

We don't wait five years. A year is long enough.

long enough to do what trogers? what is a condo committee legally allowed to do after one year in terms of trying to get the owner to pay?

In my condo, a warning letter is issued upon accummulating 6 months of unpaid common fees.

thanks for your input Trogers. Can I inquire to extent you have been successful with recalcitrant owners not paying their annual maintenance fees?

We have sent letters, made phone calls, added % fine, and suggested legal action, but still ... nothing.

So much baht still outstanding that it makes it difficult to run the condo properly. 

Why was this allowed to happen here? Is legal action so ineffectual that the recalcitrant owners know it is only used in absolute last resort cases

and only when there is a huge amount owing? 

Is there a more effective way that anyone knows? I appreciate your help.
