Any problems depositing in Thai partner’s account…..?
0james0 replied to mikey88's topic in Chiang Mai
A large-ish deposit amount is pretty common, shouldn’t raise any red flags. Not saying this is what you’re faced with, but also what is common is uncontrolled/irresponsible spending of the recipients could and has the propensity to easily get out of hand and bring much disappointment and instability. ——Keep your head—-. -
Please don’t be such a troublemaker. It’s like a stick-in-the-mud. A little friendliness could go a long ways. Spend much time conversing with the the lanna neighbors in the community? Or just stuck inside all the time?

Smoking fish and meat isn’t a difficult task. Is quite simple. Personally I don’t mind farmed Atlantic salmon, it has more fat and taste pretty damed good to me. I buy at Makro on ice often. Just might have to smoke some.

As stated earlier, the monsoon troughs tend to come from the west and south from the equatorial weather river, and spin north counter clockwise and unorganized as the weather system, as a whole heads toward the east. Locality (regionally as well) it could be coming from any various directions due to the unorganized nature of the common weather systems that pass through. Unlike, for example the Pacific Northwest of the states where most of the weather systems come directly from the west in an organized cyclonic system

I know this is a long shot- there was a wallless clothing shop on the 2nd floor just off the escalators at Kad Suan Keaw. Does anyone happen to know where they might have moved to? Or if they’re still around?

Looks like the guy was just trying to offer help. But the you responded with a snotty remark acting like a bully. Maybe a little self control and tolerance would go a long way, don’t you think?

Hi there! I thought I’d stop on by this ghost town just to see what all the excitement was about????. Well so-long, I wish you luck and try not to spend to much time talking to yourself ????

If I put myself is a situation that I resent then it’s my fault, not the fault of those I enable around me and I sure wouldn’t publicly complain about it. A lot of guys come here looking for something young and fresh on the dating apps believing that some how they’ll be able to secure the relationship free of the family. Well sorry to break it to you but the world doesn’t work that way in any country. I would suggest staying off the dating apps because I’m sure most are there looking for a free ride. Unless of course your intent is to throw money at short term gratifications or a long term money pit. I don’t think it’s fair to generalize and lump an entire group of people based on the experience of a few disgruntled loud complainers whose situation is of their own.

Cultural Misunderstanding or Cultural Incompatibilty?
0james0 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Chiang Mai
Right, it’s not a cultural misunderstanding. It’s a mental illness and human nature misunderstanding -
The above statement mostly applies to those who till through hookers and begging women at the bars and dating apps. As for the typical Thai friends I know, they are hard working and accountable. so I suppose it depends on what type of bubble one lives in.

I’ve driven past the Promenada hundreds of times on the way into the city over the years and never once stopped by., though I’ve never been much of a mall person It always looked like there was little activity there. Too many malls in CM, where employees seem to out number the customers and it appeared to be the case with the Promenada every time I drove past that empty looking place.

Chiang Mai Air Quality and Pollution
0james0 replied to Cheesekraft's topic in Air Pollution in Thailand
One can make sure the doors and windows are sealed well and place a fine mesh pre filter sheet in over the a/c filters, it will help with the filtering the smoke particles, I use one and it works well. CM Air Care Engineering or Mahakak, can’t remember which place. -

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/2087139/holding-those-behind-the-haze-to-account The smoke/haze problem isn’t so much of an issue of barrel burning or annoying neighbors. It’s a much broader large scale regional phenomena that can take days or weeks to develop and persist. -
Chiang Mai Air Quality and Pollution
0james0 replied to Cheesekraft's topic in Air Pollution in Thailand
Here in the north most of the smoke comes in from neighboring countries, little the Thai government can do about that. +1 on the complaining of complaints, it does get excessive and a bit nit picky at times and much out of ignorance and certainly little anyone here on the forum can do anything about it except complain complain 55 Live and roll with it. If one is uncomfortable here then I’m sure there’s other options ???? -
Personally I’d only purchase from manufacturer or official retailers. I buy my dual physical sim iPhones from a retailer in Hong Kong and shipped to me.

Chiang Mai Air Quality and Pollution

The smoke isn’t really bothering me this year maybe because there hasn’t been a 10 day run of 43C. It’s been rather nice for me though I prefer the rainy season -
We’ve eaten there quite a few times and enjoyed it. There’s a completely different restaurant there now. There’s a couple places we go to for Tai Yai that are pretty good on Unari 6 in the Sanamkila neighborhood

I’ve been getting squirted every now and then riding around town the last couple days

Never send personal information to any other than to Thai immigration or a consultant. Walk in brick and mortar business with documents. and if you get a call demanding money, just tell them you’ll meet them at 3:00 am in a dark ally with the funds.

I’m happy with liver sticks that are found everywhere, never been much of a onion gobbler
