  1. I have been there a few times now, do not understand why it's not busy yet.

    very clean and modern hospital.

    They give 50% discount on treatment and medicine bills.

    I am very satisfied by their service, and even after they stop the discount will continue going there in case of medical problems,

  2. Would not trust it anyway if they say this is organic, there is no control system in Thailand, and if there was I would not trust it.

    I think it's not possible to buy vegetables in Thailand where you can be sure of that no pesticides are used during the growing process,

    wash you veggies well and it's all good..

  3. It's clear that there is a lot more traffic the past days during the Loy Krathong festival.

    But that where in my opinion only Thai from Bangkok and they are about to leave now.

    I saw a lot of Chinese tourists the last couple of days, but they are almost always here...and they are a different kind of tourists,

    that do not visit places Farang would, they have a trail of their own.

    Is it me, or is Thailand (Chiang Mai) less visited then other years by foreigners?

    Or will it al be good for December?

  4. I imagine that the term 'organic' has no legal basis (or translation) in Thailand. I'm pretty sure that there is no authority that certifies produce as being organic. I witnessed the whole organic tendency in Switzerland over many years and know and saw that farmers were going out at night to spray, at least during their transformation phase. It is very difficult to cultivate crops in Thailand without resort to chemicals, I have cultivated melons for instance and the only way that I could produce stuff like you see in the markets would be to spray (I guess) twice a week. I did get some organic melons but it was hardly worthwhile. I don't eat melons any more.

    WHat I don't understand is why people prefer to use their imagination rather than do a search on something called the internet. It took me all of 30 seconds to find this. http://www.organic.moc.go.th/en/standard/mkt

    All nice, but do you trust it?

    I dont!

  5. The new Thai Drivers license is now a laminated with your photo. Beware of the Photo taker processing clerks they like to sell you plastic covers to coat it again for 10 baht each. I guess if they get enough 10 bahts in a week & month they get another salary very unprofessional in my opinion. Lucky my Thai friend was walking by when she was trying to sell me she told him to go away so he went to the front desk to file a complaint against her. Great country Thailand it keeps you on your toes every minute.

    Are you trying to say you almost got scammed for 10 Baht?

    Maybe you should call in the air force next time... nuke them....!!
