And try using a soiled note to get into Burma.Even after pointing out that the banknote they were rejecting was one they gave me as change.

No way millipede's are "harmless"

Stepped on one in the dark and foot began burning-over next 2 days went numb all the way to the knee

See em not and there dead

With all the rain up here this year everything's still green.That in itself will limit the burn.

Started with meter high sprouts and still took 8 years before they started producing any nuts

Seems the roots have to get down to the water table before they produce-so see how far down it is to water

A mature tree will easily produce 100 nuts a year and there up to 10 bhatt here in the north and they climb for them

Good luck on your growing

Only problem with the local made stoves is that the oven is crap-No insulation at all-open space below right to the floor-can't get a decent HIGH temperature for bakeing and they last about 6 to 7 years before they rust out

.I'm still looking for a proper oven-either gas or electric in the Chiang Rai/Chiang Mai area.

2 strong quakes hit Burma

The quakes struck seconds apart at 8:25 a.m. local time Friday near the Southeast Asian country's borders with Thailand and Laos, about 110 kilometres from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai.

They were initially measured at 7.0 magnitude, but that was quickly lowered to 6.8.

The U.S. Geological Survey says one quake was shallow, centred 10 kilometres below the surface of the earth, and the other struck at a depth of 230 kilometres, which is exceptionally deep.

The effects could be felt as far away as the Thai capital of Bangkok, where buildings swayed.

Witnesses also said people were evacuated from Hanoi after tremors hit the Vietnam capital.

We're between Mae Sai and Chiang Rai-Strong quake felt here-minor damage to unsecured objects-lasted a good 10 minutes with aftershocks for over an hour-casualtys reported in Mae Sai -power out in Mae Sai and Chiang Saen

Could you please give so directions to the "chemical supply" place in Chiang Mai. I also need a local supplier for prague powder

I did see Prague Powder #1 in a chemical & laboratory supItply house in Chiang Mai. That's what is commonly used for wet curing hams. It consists of 6.75% sodium nitrite and 93.75% salt (sodium chloride). It's safer to use than sodium nitrite alone because this chemical can literally stop someone's heart when eaten in even quite small doses. Prague Powder #1 is also called Instacure #1 or pink curing salt. It's dyed pink so users won't confuse it with the various other white powders commonly found in kitchens.

TGM pepperoni is nothing like the American version. It's good on sandwiches (tastes like heavily-peppered slightly-sour salami), but it's missing the paprika/nitrate flavor that makes it good on pizzas.

I found a meat place up north about half way between Chiang Rai and Mae Sai called Fahsmokehouse.They have smoked and cured meats and will even do specialty orders-They have authentic pepperoni in a couple of styles.Don't have there address but I kept there phone number-its 053-665-972. They also have great smoked meat products.

Yes -and what about trying to recover some of the expenses incured as an inbound traveler?

Cost us over $1000 in re-routeing and overland travel.

Is there a class action suit being seriously considered??

Cost us over $1000 to re-route from Soul to Kaula Lampour then overland transit to get home to Chiang Rai.

This dosn't include the extra costs(meals and such) and frustration of the additional 5 days travel

next time you go to Tachelak from Mai Sai-check there

lots of different pressure cookers -and even good clay cook pots

someone could do real well marketing some beer kits here(like coopers stout)

I'm down to the last couple cases off the kits I brought and would like to find more here

and 8000B is crazy-the dealer here charges 50B for new file install(crack)
