>>Perhaps they messed with your phone to search the phone memory for "Own Number"

Very good point. Had not considered that. Although she spoke very good English and it would have been in her interest to explain if that were indeed the case.

Had strange incident there last night. Paid the bill. Said thanks to the ladyboy waitress as she was coming to collect the plates. I'd accidentally left my smartphone on the table so she must have seen it almost immediately. I wandered deeper into that soi and read a noticeboard for a minute before realising the phone was missing. I jogged back 25 metres and asked about the phone. The same waitress pulled it out of her apron pocket and handed it back. Strangely, it was now switched off and the plastic cover had been removed then put on upside down. I can only assume she was trying to bypass the security swipe feature. I asked why and was just given innocent "I don't know"s from both waitresses.

Massage by blind masseurs just 50m up soi 9 Moonmuang Road on the left as you walk from the moat. Not far from Riders' Corner.

Think the OP was more interested in places that teach.

This page mentions massage: The Northern School for the Blind under the Patronage of the Queen

Can anyone tell me what is Swiss Ford?

There are also 3BB advertising posters in Pong Yeang village which is after Mae Sa and after the elephant camp

Invest your money in the stock market or some other more liquid type of investment. I know people in Chiang Mai that bought condominiums and they have sat vacant for periods of up to 16 months without a single inquiry before a renter comes along. Some have been trying to sell them (at a loss) for years. Terrible investment IMHO. There are too many already. It's a buyers market. People who talk up how great an investment a C.M. condo is, are in 9 out of 10 cases, a seller themselves looking for a bite.

Before I get flamed I should add that if you are buying for your own home or are in a position to invest and not rely on the investment to earn you steady income, then certainly nothing wrong with buying one.

I would tend to absolutely agree with above poster. I don't see any way that you could make any money investing in a condo unless to get it at a Steal (rock bottome price).

If you do a search on here http://www.chiangmaiproperties.co.th/PropertySearch.aspx at the higher end of the condo prices, they all seem to be rented out..... if that info is in any way useful to you...

Odd sexual facts? You have my attention now. Can you elaborate on that?

Rest assured Winnie, there was no mention of beastiality.

lmfao

Who would eat an elephants penis? Are you sure it's used in Thai cuisine? And if it is how do you prove it's an elephants and not a buffalos? Plus how much would you have to pay for it?

The Chinese.

Please don't try to be raicist.

I also know a lot of Farangs (in person) who loves Durians.

Durian..... mmmmm nom nom nom

Hi

I recommend

There is a Place just past the Doi saket turn off heading North on the opposite side of the road along the 118, it does sell new tyres but it also sells second hand ones.

I bought 4 Dunlop Sports 20/30 (Second Hand) for the missus Vios in January the date stamp on the tyre wall which indicates the year and week of manufacture read ---4710 which indicted they were made in week 47 year 2010 so I recon they were max 7 weeks old as i purchased them in the second half of Jan 2011.

The garages I visited wanted 3000 Bht each so 12000 Bht for four, we ended up paying 7500Bht minus 500 Bht he gave us back for the old tyres, so the final bill came to 7000 Bht

Well pleased with the purchase .

I was a little skeptical at first but it was on the recommendation of two other friends who had purchased at the same place that made me eventually take a look at the place.

He had loads of second hand stuff, Vios tyre's on Vios alloys, Dmax tyre's on Dmax alloys which all looked nearly brand new. Etc Etc

I get the feeling that a lot of people Buy a car and lets say for example want to change the wheels to alloys and say put some Low profile tyre's on , well they have to end up some where so this is the type of place that ends up with the unwanted tyre's and rims .

If you are interested PM me for details of the location, I will be more than happy to take you up there one day as I don't live to far from the place.

Regards

TB

Just out of interest what e tyre size do you need?

Thanks for extra-useful post.

Actually I will go there next time but I've now seen mine are only worn on the outsides so someone is going to swap them round for me.

Not sure if its good form to piggyback on this thread, but do any of the Baan Tawai (or elsewhere in Chaing Mai) places make modern good quality fabric-covered sofas/ armchairs? There's nothing I like in Index, Homepro or Modernform at a reasonable price.

The Blind Massage Conservation Club

http://www.mapsnmore.com/business/Health--Medical/Massage/Thai-Blind-Massage-Conservation-Club

Great staff and will attend to a specific area if required. The pic on this link is misleading, the branch indicated on the map has individual beds (with legs) and a nice dimmed-lighting ambience. 150 THB/hour. Here's another link for the branch indicated on the map.

http://politicaltarot.com/2010/11/my-experience-of-a-blind-massage-in-thailand/

There is another branch to the North - off Chang Puak road somewhere but I've lost the link.

http://www.chiangmaigrapevine.com/chiang-mai-shops-1581:jipata-nimmanhemin-rd

Jipata have a few branches - the map here shows one. Good quality tees, speak English, can do small runs. Can even do farang sizes but might take longer.

Chiang Mai hiking group goes at least once a week. They usually leave on Sunday mornings but have recently been doing midweek hikes too. They have a website at http://cmhike.com/ with details of upcoming hikes etc. I've been going for many years and enjoy the hikes and the company. Sanuk!

They have a useful gps section on that site too http://cmhike.com/gps-trails/

A quick scan through the other threads on Loy Khratong/ Kratong shows 9th and 10th as being the main days in the city but indeed no mention of specific times/ places.

Is it only me that manages to have a shower at any massage shop if I feel the need. Most basic massage shophouses have a bathroom with either a shower or a bucket & scoop. May be wise to take your own soap though.

An email from staff at AA insure today confirmed Gary is no longer working with AA Insure at Mee Chok Plaza.

Anyone tried his massage before? Care to share the experience and outcome?

Isn't that the man famous for his hammer and chisel massage? If so, it he still stays at that place but no longer performs the massage. There several others there who use his technique. Its painful at times but no more than an average traditional massage. Couldn't say whether it would suit your needs.

good, beware one thing, ask them if they've got the right modem boxes, my pal had his line put in, only to be told they hadn't received them yet.

Spoke to English speaking tech guy who says yes they have the modems and now 60 people using the service in Mae Jo. Sounds like he wants me to sign new 12 month contract. Will get clearer idea tomorrow.

I've been refusing to pay my CAT bill for August until its discounted to take into account outages. Was surprised when they called today to offer a switch to fibre optic. They say no extra costs, stay on the same expensive 1700/mth program which I started on when CAT was the only option 18 months ago in my area of Mae Jo.

What would we be supporting, by buying breakfast there?
