Or if you'd like it to be a book, try D.K. Book Center on Kotchasarn Road (East side of the moat, South of Thapae Gate)

I agree. I'm leaving the office in about 2 hours time and this urgent request has not resulted in an answer yet.
Which Chiang Mai pub or bar would be the most suitable to pay tribute to MJ ? (Able/willing to play the music, etc.) ?
-
Me neither. It's just hours later and I already don't remember where I was.
Oh wait.

That's usually not very legal... Most areas that you'd call 'the wilds' are national parks. Most other areas are privately owned. The only grassy stuff you'll find in whatever remains is that shitty thorny maiarab stuff.
I agree with you that plants can be expensive.. It pays someitmes to find a wholesaler or grower, instead of just driving the ol' Fortuner around Kham Thiang.

I don't really hear it much.. Of course I live in walled compound. No disturbance form "Thailand" here.

Not being religious I was concerned that maybe religion would be shoved down my daughters throat
As much as I dislike religion, to me that would be the minor concern. The major concern involves a pun on what you just said however I think I'm going to pass on making it.

I want to PDF my Chanots
YOUR chanotes?

I'll be bringing a group of 15 university students from the U.S. to Chiang Mai in September. They are studying global business. I am looking for something for them to do of educational value e.g. visit a good NGO, a factory tour, a farm. Something beyond the usual elephant camp tours. Any suggestions?
Spotlight?
-
Yes they do. Any of the bigger tyre centers will do, there are many, on all the main roads out of town for example. Which side of town are you at?

if anyone is concerned about weight gain /diabetis then consumption of ALMOST any bread is A NO NO.
There are a few exceptions but none are here in T-land or in CM .
I agree, though you could probably get away with just eating a tiny little bit of it. Talking about half a slice here.
Please do not think they are diet friendly weight wise and over all heath wise once you are in your 50+'s up with weight concerns all process carbs are restricted food ..if possible eat a tiny amount if any for long healthy life ,Yup.. Unless you're a triathlon athlete or some such.

I may be missing someting here, but a pancake is a cup full of processed carbs with egg and millk and then fried in butter.
How can any of that ever be 'diet', no matter if it's sweetended or not?

WinnietheKhwai, is 'rocket surgery' a hybrid version of 'rocket science' and 'brain surgery'???
Yes. Just to show what an advanced skill that is.

11 am. Wake up.
11:05 am, feel next to me to check there isn't anyone there.
11:10 am, decide against having a shower
11:20 am go sit outside the Veerachai court mini mart
11:21 am Order first large Chang
etc. .

Reading through this topic, one can take two lessons: 1) don't hang out in bars, 2) learn to read Thai.
I'm not sure those are completely correct. I love hanging out in bars, the problem is talking to any Farangs you find there, and then take them seriously! But no issue hanging out with the local staff..
Agree on learning to read Thai, though not signing any papers you can't read isn't exactly rocket surgery either.

Pull the other one.

Wow...
Can I just say how happy I am not to know any of these people?
And the OP actually wanted to discuss the police... Seems the police can learn a bit of some of the farang suspects!
-
But.. but... some people enjoy sharing a minivan with 6-8 Friendly Farangs..?

Wow.. credit where credit is due, this advice should be framed and put on a wall:
I'll go first. Sleep a full night and rise when youI wish. Go slowly. Have a general routine, but be flexible. Acquire new friends and nurture them. Do your hobbies; get new ones. Learn the language if you can. Try to get to know the locals. Walk, run, swim ten months per year outdoors. Do day trips, overnight trips. Explore the internet. Grow a garden. Meditate; think about 1969 and 2019, Eat healthy food. -
People reading that paper deserve to go blind.

Personally I have a rather hefty brush-cutter machete; weighs about 2 kilos....that would lop off an arm (or a head, for that matter) with one swipe, next to my bed.

..and we can see all around in the way people drive how well this system works eh?

Just having you nearby would already enhance the chances of success in the resto business greatly.

He forgot to use Red-Eye-Reduction on the fish.

Farang friendly... So I suppose Japanese or other citizens of other non-Western countries need not apply? Or, as opposed to Thais who might want to go on a visa run service?
When an ad for a service is worded with such obvious cluelessness about Thailand, then I have a lot of trouble to take it seriously. No wonder the number doesn't exist anymore.
Car, Windscreen And Film
in Chiang Mai
Posted · Edited by WinnieTheKhwai
To keep the sun/heat out. If it's very dark/reflective it also adds some privacy.
Then the film is too dark. It shouldn't be too dark, both because it's illegal and because it's dangerous. At the very least, cut holes near the side mirrors, and consider having it removed or changed for your front windscreen.
No, you want a shop to do it. Good film is expensive, and it's a skill to get it on there straight and without air bubbles. Anyway the cost is in the film, not in the workmanship to stick it on. Shops are everywhere, any car accessory shop.
Understood. Sad that that's necessary but it's the state of affairs.
