I give up for relationships with asian/thai women already, and I agree with Berkshire´s post. But 35+ single mothers needs maybe even a bit more support, I would guess...

In BigC extra at the super highway there have T-shirts without writing in (thai-) XL. Mostly stripes, but I remember some in white colour

I came here for the Thai women and Thai men, which are my good friends I met in many years during plenty of holiday trips to LOS.

Climate and a bit cheaper life are another factor. As I kind of like Thai/Asian women, if I would go somewhere only for this reason (women), I would choose another country/continent. However, not so important anymore in my grandfather age of 50yrs

I think Chuck Taylor All Stars from Converse are sneakers and plimsolls. Sneakers is the american term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimsoll_shoe). And it seems they make them also in Thailand now, before I thought they made only in Indonesia (in asia). But this info will not help the OP anyway...For size UK13 maybe better order from home and declare the parcel as a present. Otherwise the possibilty is high to pay the tax(about 40% of the purchase price?), as happen to me a few years ago when order a pair of Van´s from a british online shop.

As I believe, Thailand is one of the biggest "marriage markets" for western foreigners in the world, it will be easy to find somebody for sure. More difficult to find a lady friend, this seems very uncommon in the Thai culture. I made the mistake to find a lady friend on the above mentioned Thai Friendly. Even when they tell, they only want to improve their english language skills....well not really. It seems every Thai woman only wants to marry, the quicker the better. Unfortunatly not doable for a poor bugger like me .

Ah, and for the dress style...in my experience, when I wear just normal clothes like polo shirts, long sleeve trousers and shoes, many people(ladies) here think I am a gay man or katoy kwai or whatsoever. So I would recommend to wear flipflops, shorts and tank tops, thats what make a real man or so (I not do anyway).

A while ago I bought some wooden ones in Central at Kad Suan Kaew. Probably the big Findig shoeshop at KSK might have them as well.

i am not exactly sure if red wine, but I saw yesterday at the "give friends 100%" shop at Nimmanhemin rd. plenty of Montclair wine boxes. This place, where you can sit outside, drink something at the supermarket price and watch the crowd walk by....

Maybe you can check out the huge 2nd hand shop on the old Lamphun rd. maybe 100 m before the Mahidol rd. intersection. If you heading south it is located on the left hand side. More a market hall than a shop. They have about everything

I would recommend "Mai´s Beauty and barber salon", make sure that the owner, Mai, is in the shop. It is located in the kad klang wiang on the corner of Ratchadamneon rd.(walking street) and Ratchapakeenai rd.

I always wear every colour I want in Thailand, red, yellow, pink or whatever. Never had any problems so far...

How about the Chiang Mai Jazz festival on 6th and 7th of december at The International Convention and Exhibition Centre

Why not back to Taiwan? For the ladies sounds much better than here. But for for a 50 year old sack like me, I think I have to show a lot of money in Taiwan too to get together with a lady ;-)

I also noticed some burning 4 days ago in Hang Dong, at the Chiang Mai Canyon area.

And I missed the game, because they at the unusual time of 4p.m. .

Hello,

i am just curious if there will be another northern soul weekender next november. Last year I couldn´t make the trip from Chiang Mai. Webpage from siamsoulagogo not seems to work anymore, but maybe somebody have some information...

They change location already. See my post from 25.07.2013

Hello,

acoustic punkrock sounds a bit weird to me, anyway interesting as there is not too much of an underground rock scene in CM (well, as far as I know...). Unfortunatly i just start to write and read Thai, so i have no idea where this event will take place.

Maybe somebody could help me?

Thank you

If your waist size is not over 34 inches, you can check the Uniqulo shop in the new Promenada shopping Mall.

I just bought a nice straight cut, dark blue denim jeans for 799 baht. Fit like a glove and the material is a tat softer than the Levis 501, which i usually wear.

I didn´t find a proper tea shop in CM yet. Seems to be more coffeedrinker over here.

Anyway, I like to drink good green tea and pu-erh tea. First one my friends from Guangzhou send to me if in need.

The pu-erh tea I find at the Warorot market, 100 gramm for 500 baht, similar quality and price than the one I bought before in a nice tea shop in Penang/Malaysia. As i remember, the owner of that shop told me, she have only a very few customer from Bangkok who spend some money on tea. So possibly the market for tea connaisseurs in Thailand is not that big? I dunno...

I just noticed, the above mentioned "dvd film and music"-shop moved to another location.

It is now at Sirorot rd. (close to Wat Suan Dok) and will reopen tomorrow on the 26th

So this route only lasts for 6 month. I´ve done this Trip to Had Yai with return twice and was quite satisfied with Nok Air. What a shame. Somehow i like them better than Air Asia

Yep, this is exactly the one I was talking about above

I am member of this DVD shop. Unfortunatly the name is only in thai letter. The adress is: 289 Suthep rd. and it is located at the intersection Suthep rd. and the road to the 41 area. A good landmark is the small orange Daihatsu pick-up, parking on the sidewalk.

I just come back, tried to make my second visit to the Euro Film Festival with my motorbike.

This time no access to the parking area. Wow, deeply impressed. It seems public transportation is the only way to go there. I better try again next year...

Probably some good herbs for ahhmm.. smoking
