A very interesting article in BBC. 

Link: The five most creative cities in the world?

Gives some ideas for places to visit in next trip to Bangkok.

There is an exhibition in first floor of Art Bridge with, what I understand, famous Thai artists. There are many very nice and interesting paintings and drawings.

But this exhibition ends now on Sunday 25th of October.

And in second floor there is also and exhibition with Thai artists but maybe not so famous. Why I think that is that the prices of the art in second floor are much lower. 

If you go to Google Maps, link https://goo.gl/maps/rHpgBr1EPmL3nk2b9, and scroll down to "Photos" and choose "Latest ", then you will see some of the artists and their art!

But don't forget, this exhibition ends now on Sunday 25th of October.

What button chooses original language?

Sorry if this sounds like a juvinile question, but I have not been successful trying to do it.

We have the old style TV-antenna connected to a box. And on the remote-control for that box I choose "Audio" to choose language. 

In this system we have more than 30 Thai channels.

I have just been watching the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" about Rodrigues. 

A very interesting documentary and with a lot of very good music.

Lunch break. 

Wat Phra That Chom Chaeng in Chiang Rai Province

Thank you Scea and Randell. I went to this shop Thawee Yon and there I found a Electrolux top-loaded 14 kg for 12 990 baht.  (ewt1454dcwa) Price was reduced from 15 990 baht. 

The salesmen did not speak English and just wanted to speak Thai but I walked around in this quite big shop and asked for someone that speaks English. And I found this guy Udomsak that was very helpful. He helped me with the contract, we printed out a Google Maps pic to show where my house is. The machine was delivered and installed next day. 

I have done two loads of laundry so far and I  am very happy.  The speed of spinning is 850 RPM and that is enough because the drum is quite big. Probably equal with a smaller drum and 1200 RPM. 

And  I checked prices in Lazada for same machine and they wanted 18 690 baht. 

So far so good! 

Thank you everyone for information and ideas! 

I have to get out and look for the different brands and models. One problem will be that brochures are in Thai so not easy to know what you are looking at.  

Where is a place with good service and reasonable prices?  Recommendations for a machine max 15-20 000 baht.

Brand and model? 

Thanks in advance!  

Or Mae Fah Luang University Medical Center. That is where they teach and train new doctors. They also have the latest technology and equipment.

Wat PA Khao Wong Mahawan in Chiang Rai Province.

Nonon Chakrasi in Chiang Rai Province. (Place of Worship).

Phra That Doi Wiang Ho in Chiang Rai Province.

They have started many months ago with this and in the end it will be for many activities like Walking - Jogging - Cycling. 

It is only 1.9 km one way but if you do it three times up and down you got more than 11 km under your belt. 

Here some photos. 

First from the bridge going to the Airport, second from halfway back to that bridge and the third towards the bridge HW 1.

Last pic is a map.

Wat Tham Phajarui in Chiang Rai Province. 

There is another Satellite map that seem to be more updated than Google Maps. 

It doesn't have all the functions that Google Maps has but it is more clear. 

Here a link in Google Maps:  https://www.google.com/maps/@19.8665151,99.8349563,2020m/data=!3m1!1e3

And the same view in satellites_pro: https://satellites.pro/Thailand_map#19.863390,99.832871,16

Btw, the Wholesale market that you see in that view is worth a visit.  They have vegetables, fruit, fish, chicken etc and with very good prices. 

You don't have to buy big quantities, they also have detail shops and with much lower prices than you can find in other places.

Overbrook Memorial House is a very interesting museum. 

And it has a Coffee shop with good coffee and many different cakes and you can sit either inside in AC or outside in a nice garden. 

Absolute worth a visit.
