Hello,

Friend of mine locked door in his room and he can't find key. Do you know someone who can help to open locked door without key? It's very urgent situation because he has to leave to BKK today.

Thank you.

Hi Axel,

How high are you going and how cold will it be? I ask because both of these are the two critical factors in your gear selection. If you are going above 5000mtrs and into temps below -5 celcius with snow then I would strongly suggest you buy some GOOD sunglasses with side covers. Julbo are a good brand and they do a low-end model called the "sherpa" which sells for around $50 in the west and they will do the job for you in the enviroment you will encounter. I have seen them in BKK in the good outdoor shops there but I dont know CM well enough to know if there is a good outdoor shop. If you have some time then perhaps think about ordering them off the net through someone like SierraTrading or Altrec.

DONT skimp on the sunglasses. I just had to carry a Japanese climber down from 6500 metres in Argentina who had snowblindness from wearing crappy sunglasses. It looks like she will have permanent damage to her vision because of it.

Thx a lot for this advice. I am going to spend the most part of budget to sunglasses and boots.

I am going to Minya Konka (Western Sichuan). It's between 4000 and 5000 mtrs and below -5 celcius with snow.

Unfortunately I don't have time to order it and I guess the best choice would be buy all stuff in Chengdu, China.

I wish I could say I know of one. Maybe someone else knows a place, but I sure don't. I was surprised yesterday in a little shop in Mai Sai (Burma side) that actually had some good quality stuff. I bought a couple of shirts for 500 baht each. One of the clothing tags said they were from/for an outdoor store back home in Vancouver BC. "Arcteryx" was the name on the tag. I also saw some "Columbia" parkas for about 2000 baht each.

Do they have Gortex boots there? And where is it exactly?

I went to Airport Plaza today and found Outdoor Shop, but I didn't find something worthy

I am going to trek in China mountains and want to buy some stuff for this trek, like hiking shoes, sun glasses, special clothes and so on.

Would you recommend me some outdoor shops in CM?

I just wondering are there any services (or persons) who can translate subtitles from English (or Russian better ) to Thai language?

How much it can be cost?

Thank you.

Where Chiang Mai Orchid is located?

I am trying to find how much is it to graduate Master Degree programs in Thamasat University. Can anyone give me a clue where I can check prices for studying in various programs (finance, accounting, law and so on)?

Thank you.

I've just opened account in Kasikorn Bank at Tha Phae branch.

I had tourist visa which expired 2 days before I opened account

Now I am wondering how I can send money oversea to my Russian bank?

Is it possible to open account in international banks like citi and so on?

Hello,

Could you recommend me some schools where I can improve my English language skills (especially pronunciation)?

Thank you.

I used train by night it seems to me good way to go to BKK especially when you want to save some money.

Sometime I take Air Asia flight it's not so expensive and very fast. I had no problems with air asia more over I like it. I've had 6 air asia flight for last month and I am more than satisfy.

I paid 2 months deposit and 1 month rent when I rented a house (23 000 bath), it was a bunch of money but I hope to get it back anyway I have an agreement. I rented via real-estate company.
