Immediately left, out of the picture. The dirt lane you see there on the right will become the new turn lane to turn south on Nimman.
The one in the right background is the one that leaves westerly Huey Kaew turning left onto Nimman heading south.
The one on the right foreground turns left off of northbound Nimman & heads west on Huey kaew toward Doi Suthep.

KittenKong,
As usual your observations are spot on. Fifteen nyears ago (probably as recently as 10 years ago) prior to the condo boom the appalling traffic was not noticable. Folks were constantly bragging on the internet about how great Chiang Mai was (& it was) & the mass migration to Chiang Mai started.
PS, Yes avoid Chiang Mai in March for the pollution, and probably in April as well for the heat without cloud cover, & especially so if you are not fond of the insane Chiang Mai Songkran madness.

For future more frequent updates / comment you may want to refer to this link in the Chiang Mai forum. It gets far more activity than the Chiang Rai forum.

I wouldn't believe a word of what those operators say. They are not excited about spending the money
How would the chairs fall over? Sand has better grip than concrete.
And how could a mattress pad be more uncomfortable than the old chairs with the wood frame digging into the back of the knees
It's nonsenseMy condo has those same chairs and mattresses. They are comfortable. But if not in shade, when the sun heats them up after a bit they are extremely hot, so hot in fact it feels like a burn.

Before getting the shots you may want to ask your Dr to try oral methylprednisolone 4 mg 21 pack (spread over 6 days : 6-5-4-3-2-1 tabs/day). Worked wonders for me to get rid of the extreme sciatica (I never did have pain in lower back despite pinched nerve there being the source of the sciatica).
Then the McKenzie exercises as daily preventive maintenance have prevented a re-occurance of problem.
Also, If I don't do the McKenzies daily I can feel the stiffness returning to my lower back & I expect the sciatica would soon follow.
Methylprednisolone:

While you're waiting for an answer, In the meantime try the McKenzie exercises to see if they help. Help if any may not be immediate, so keep trying as long as pain isn't worse.

Why not just have a heavier position in Cobra Gold (ie, more trhan obsever)?

My annual Retirement Visa Extension (or whatever we should call it) is due this month & I seem to remember that at the in CR town Immigration office that service is provided on only two days of the week. I've forgotten which two days (but if had to guess I'd guess Monday & Wednesday).
Can anybody kindly verify which days this service is offered. Thanks.

Sorry, didn't see an edit button.
I would like to point out for readers that the good folks like Fohn who care for unfortunate cats & dogs do not incur just the costs of living space, cleaning time, medicines & food. To properly care for the health of all the animals, new residents must be first tested for contagious diseases such as Distemper, Feline leukemia, Feline HIV, Rabies etc etc so that they are properly isolated with those having like problems. If this were not done all the cats would be susceptible to whatever problems a new resident brought with them.
Edit: Plus the timet & cost of neutering. If new residents are not neutered you can only imagine the result. Uncontrollable over population.
PS. none of the time & costs are funded by government organizations here. A sorry situation that in Thailand there is insufficient government participation in the problem of over population of homeless animals.
I'm doing well thanks to Fohn at Santisook cat shelter in Doi Saket. Thank you everybody for giving me a life.

Speak to Fohn at Santisook Cat Shelter Doi Saket 081-638-2105. She is burdened now with so many to take care of that she has had to refuse further adoptions except for neuter and return. However, considering your departure to London next week she may be able to make an exception. Yes, please make a donation. Appreciate your concern.

Meng La is off limits now. Apparently there are factions shooting at each other up there at the Chinese border. At any given time, there are about 5 armed battles going on at various places in Burma.
Save to OneDrive - PersonalBurma Army Raids Kasung Village
28 August 2017
Kachin State, Burma
On August 11th the Burma Army launched an unprovoked attack against civilians in Kasung Village, west of Myitkyina, Kachin State. At 1100 Burma Army soldiers began to mortar the village. At 1130 the indirect fire ceased and 200 Burma Army ground troops raided the village, spraying rifle fire at fleeing villagers. Kasung Village has no active Kachin Independence Army (KIA) installations nor military significance. One villager was killed and numerous villagers were injured by beatings from the soldiers. The Burma Army units involved in the raid were Light Infantry Battalions (LIB) 381 and 384 under MOC-3, headed by Tactical Operation Commander Colonel Aung Than Htwe.
The villagers fled into the jungle surrounding the village during the assault. A villager named Mr. Lamau Awng Nu was shot and killed and other villagers were injured and captured. A school teacher and eleven other villagers unable to escape were held captive for two days before the army left them. The soldiers also killed multiple cattle and a pig, which they subsequently ate. Most homes were looted. After the Burma Army had taken the village it proceeded to fire into the surrounding tree line, forcing any villagers that had lingered into displacement.
Following the assault locals attempted to help stranded villagers, yet the Burma Army stopped them from assisting until August 13th. Once the Burma Army withdrew, locals and religious groups began helping their people. More than 1000 people were displaced during this assault against a civilian population. On the 22nd villagers began to return to their homes.
The Free Burma Rangers’ (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military attacks.

The new construction ends before the Rabbit Resort. The beach concessions with sunbeds are open and waiting your friends arrival. Many of the concessions have Rabbit menus so they can order food. The beach is closed on Wednesdays.
My guess is that you meant to say that the sun bed venders are NOT allowed to set up on Wed & Thurs. I doubt that the beach is closed (blocked off) from people walking along it or sitting on the sand.

Best post of 2017
I agree. This thread is a very informative and Lou62's comments are an eye opener. Chiang mai has been milking folks on a large scale for a long time already.

Why is there no line to Chiang Mai from Nong Kai?
Isn't the line to Rayong superfluous because it is so near Bangkok.
IN MY OPINION look beyond Rayong to Cambodia in the future and nothing to Chiang Mai because it's about the Chinese going to Bkk and through Thailand to Malaysia, not to make transport better for Thais.
Recent emphasis upon / pushing the build up of "Eastern Economic Corridor" (EEC).

In Thailand you may lose your deposit anyway.

Well now, perhaps Chiang Mai needs a "Dude Ranch".

The wat is better known as Wat Phra Non..as it has a reclining budah. It is very near me so PM me if you want any further help. The driveway is near one which goes to a tutoring school.
The YMCA is one of the better courses of Thai. Either at the city location or north of the river. Be warned. Learning thai will help you but older people here do not speak it well as they still speak Northern Thai.
Thank you Harry, for proving that posts can be helpful without displaying your superiority.

Where to buy in Chiang Mai?
It has been suggested as one ingredient in an anti mosquito & flea mix for cats. "My recipe for cats is very similar to the one for dogs. Mix 8 ounces of pure water with 4 ounces of organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, plus 10 drops of neem oil and 10 drops of catnip oil. Cats and essential oils can be tricky, so we want to leave essential oils out of the kitty recipe."
Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree which is endemic to the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics. It is the most important of the commercially available products of neem for organic farming and medicines.

My God this turning into a soap opera. But based upon other stories I've heard I sure as hell would not give benefit of the doubt to the RTP or a legal system willing to work hand in glove with them.
