There is a culture of non-confrontation and smiles and peacefulness and getting along with others, especially in the family, a culture of dtu lair, taking care and sharing. I live in a farming village with a very large extended family. I am totally fascinated by the fact that an average poor Thai seems to me much happier and much more secure than a middle class Westerner in my home country. 

 

And there is a culture of friendliness, strangers saying hello and smiling in the mall, family sticking together if there is an illness. Concern and caring. I see and live with people who have much more security than social security can provide, as they have each other, as they are there for the others as well. 

 

 

I am semi retired, as so spend about 6 mths in cnx, ( my wife's village, east of sankhaemphang) i learned the language, go touring nth thailand on my bike, meet the people, if you get the yearn for excitement, jump on a plane to bkk, taxi to pattaya, I have my favourite beer bars in cnx, know a few expats, share a yarn & western feed, but mainly run my own race, hope this was a help to you, welcome !

Anyone know of any good electricians to  look at my outdoor spa bath, it keeps tripping circuit breaker , safety switch, sounds like an earth fault, but I don't want to play with it ? I in the sankhaemphang area of chiang Mai .

Yes on re-think, i might just extend my stay in bkk on arrival, & go to the vietnam embassy, apply there, thanks anyway.

G'day guys, I'll be in thailand late august -early november, instead of visa extension, I was thinking of flying from cnx to dong hoi, (new route opening in august) with jetstar pacific, probably early october, my question is can I get vietnam visa in cnx? or can get on arrival in vietnam ? or do I have to travel to bkk to apply vietnam embassy.?

Did she inform her embassy about her death wishes beforehand ? i was thinking that if you did not leave prior instructions, would the body be returned to native country ? at great expense for family,
