  1. Rimping Meechok have a selection of Mainland Cheddar cheeses ranging from a mild young Cheddar to a Tasty and on occasions a Vintage. Stock varies but there is always at least two ages from which to choose. 

  2. I second Dr Chanakarn. He recently dealt with my long lasting Achilles tendon issue by prescribing anti inflammatory and muscle relaxant tablets plus stretching and walking modification exercises. After 4 months it is almost totally resolved at a cost of a few thousand baht, compared to a surgery proposal by a top line hospital at a cost of 130000 thb. Oh, he is also team doctor to the national sports team so he knows what he id doing. His clinic is very busy and does not take appointments but I highly recommend a visit. Google Maps is your friend.

  3. As a type 2 sufferer I fail to understand why it is not possible to purchase a Continuous Glucose Monitor in Thailand, unlike many Western countries. These easy to use devices give out realtime information on glucose levels without the finger prick. This greatly enhanced our ability to understand the impact that foods have and modify our eating to minimise sugar spikes. Why does this country prevent us living a more carefully managed life? I suspect there is pressure from the likes of hospitals that want to control their use and make big bucks.

  4. Since the pollution became critical there has already been a reported drop off in forward hotel bookings. My partner runs a tourism dependent business that has done record turnover for over a year until a month ago when business dropped off a cliff with revenue being up to 40% down on numerous days. Meanwhile the governor holds a presentation telling everyone that pollution better than a year ago, but fails to mention that CM has had a record numbers of days when it is world number one. The extended crapshoot of Songkran events is heading for a financial disaster for many businesses.

  5. IGNITE Thailand! Chiang Mai is deeply affected by pollution caused by fires ignited by village idiots and farmers employed by giant conglomerates. He won't declare CM an emergency zone because he wants to protect tourism! Does he not realise that tourists are already falling ill, are already cancelling visits, are already telling their friends what a hell hole this place is. Ignite Thailand is where the future destruction of tourism and the health of it's people lies. Srettha is beyond being a fool he is complicated in condemning people to illness.

  6. Great, so we are trying to get into bed with three manufacurers that are hardly successful with EVs. Merc just announced it no longer plans to be totally electric by 2030 because sales of EVs is below forecast, VW has similar sales problems plus it's products are below par in all important electronics systems and BMW produce wildly expensive vehicles that are not reliable and appeal to only the top 2% of the market.

  7. Fine as sustainability may be the fact remains that the roads will still be littered with idiot songtaew drivers and the vehicle owner mafia will still prevent CM developing a decent public transport system. CMU should apply its vast intellect to getting rid of the old corruption and bringing in a truly effective multi modal transport network. Only then will this city be rid of the polluters and road hogs that clog our roads.

  8. Animals should not be kept in any form of captivity be it a zoo, a circus, a night safari or anything else. I visited the Night Safari years ago and left feeling depressed because of the condition of the animals. Not long after, some dolt involved in running the place even suggested that the restaurants should be serving "exotic" meats such as zebra! This place is a legacy of the initial Thaksin era and needs to be wipe off the face of the earth. Chiang Mai would be the better for its closure.

  9. Someone is smoking ganja! The figures, such as they are, show that global tourism trends have changed over the last 2 years and Thailand is no longer the Teflon Thailand of old. Themix of international travellers has been radically changed by eve ts like the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the sagging Chinese economy, and many other issues. Making ludicrous statents such as in this report merely highlights the naiveté of the author.
