Never mind the way things happen in Chiang Rai ,it might take a month or a year or two to get it organised.

I don't understand Australian language but..............

Well I suggest Bo's place , though it may be a bit small.

So lets start the count who will come.

Count me in for 2.

anymore?

Just sent them an e-mail.

info /at/ lh.co.th

Maybe more might help and threaten boycott.

The total number of members in attendance was 122 and the total number of beers consumed was 974,318

LOL!!!!

And I agree, excellent party. It's the first time I had Beer Lao in 12 years or so and the first time outside of Laos, but this really IS nice stuff. I wasn't sure if back then it was nice because it was nice or that it was nice because it was like 15 baht for a big bottle.

And again it's interesting to see how different people can be from what you'd perceive from online relatively anonymous postings.

Yeah, a ###### here and still a###### in real life.

Since when does it matter what people in Isan think?

Or vote, for that matter?

The only way you guys are going to be heard is by tipping over a bunch of Benzes in Bangkok.

Your'e abit of a <deleted> are'nt you?

Glad everybody had a good time and sorry couldn't be there.

Point to consider, since us Chiang Rai'ers are younger brothers to Chiang Mai and are bigger than some who have had parties ,

we should be favoured with the next Northern Thai visa party.

So come on Thai visa party for Chiang Rai.

My beloved got up early, well 9 o'clock to vote.

I asked her what way did she vote and she told me it was a secret.

Did your other half vote today?

Thinking of going to Hua Hin or Cha am for a few days around October.

There will be about 3 families, 12-14 people altogether and we are considering renting a fairly large comfortable van for the journey and doing the driving ourselves.

Leaving from Chiang Rai.

Whats the largest vehicle a farang can legally drive here and any idea about rental rates?

I have a European HGV and Thai driving licence but I don't think the HGV licence is any good here.

Disaster blamed on forest destruction

THEERAWAT KHAMTHITA

Bangkok Post

Chiang Rai _ Run-off from Phu Chi Fa mountain, one of the major tourist attractions, swept through hundreds of houses in two districts in the early hours of yesterday. Forest encroachment and illegal logging caused the flooding, according to local officials.

About 5am, floodwater as high as five metres from Khun Nam Ngao stream atop the mountain hit more than 500 houses in 14 villages and ruined more than 10,000 rai of farmland in tambon Tab Tao in Thoeng district.

Villagers were forced to flee toward higher ground.

Some villagers were left stranded in houses and it took rescue workers almost three hours to get them to safety.

No casualties or missing people were reported.

Rescue workers managed to save Rattana Jaithoeng, 68, and his wife Oura, 60, villagers at Ban Lao in tambon Tab Tao, only minutes before their house was swept away.

Mr Rattana said he and his wife were woken by the thunderous sound of strong water approaching. Their house was engulfed by floodwater, which almost reached the second floor.

The front of this house near Phu Chi Fa mountain in Chiang Rai collapsed after it was hit by run-off that also inundated hospitals and schools in Wiang Chiang Rung sub-district. The most serious natural disaster in the area for 24 years was attributed to deforestation in high areas. — THEERAWAT KHAMTHITA

''As the water was surging, we thought we would die,'' he said, adding that the flood was the worst he had seen in two decades.

Strong currents cut a hole 320 metres wide through an embankment in Ton Khueng village. It damaged a local school, destroyed a section of a concrete bridge and laid waste to many wooden bridges.

Run-off also flooded a school, houses and farmland in Huay Ian village in tambon Ngao in Thoeng district.

A road linking Thoeng and Chiang Kham was made impassable by up to 50cm of water, causing traffic gridlock as long as one kilometre.

In Wiang Chiang Rung sub-district, a hospital, a road between Nong Bua Daeng and Wiang Chiang Rung and wide areas of farmland were also inundated. Floodwater of up 30cm forced the closure of a kindergarten in the sub-district.

Rescue and relief workers from the disaster prevention and mitigation office in Phaya Mengrai district rescued villagers in areas affected by the flooding.

Bantherng Kruewong, chief of the tambon Tab Tao administration organisation, said the flooding was caused by rampant illegal logging and shifting cultivation practices, which had depleted wide areas of forest and caused an imbalance in the ecological system.

Several days of downpours had increased the water level of Khun Nam Ngao stream in Phu Chi Fa mountain, triggering run-off and mudslides, he said.

The Meteorological Department forecasts widespread thundershowers in the northern region today. Heavy rain is expected in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Phayao, Nan, Phrae, Sukhothai, Uttaradit, Tak and Phetchabun.

Pantip 100 baht.

Well worth your while to go shopping for a day.

Flood hits Chiang Rai province

(BangkokPost.com) - Fourteen villages in Chiang Rai are under water early Thursday after heavy rain hit the province.

Rain poured onto the villages since 3am, bringing flash flood to the areas three hours later.

More than 100 households are inundated, a Chiang Rai official said, adding that rescue units have been sent to the villages urgently to take villagers out of the water.

There are no report of injuries or casualties. But agricultural areas are vastly damaged.

I haven't seen any floods around the city but I haven't been around very much today.

Not much good for the rest of us ignoramuses who can't read Thai.

What about a phonetic spelling?

About what time please?

Thanks

Hi applemanI would also be interested in this link.

Have a friend who will be attempting this soon and I have given him your info about the heater.

He will get it installed here before export.

Could you not import the heater parts from thailand and get a good mechanic to fit them?

Where do you rent your movies in Chiang Rai?

With the unreliability of Dream TV, I have been renting more movies recently but last week I had no time to return 3 movies to Tsutaya and it ended up costing me an extra 90 baht.

Are there any other rental shops that have English movies?

Have to agree about the loss of face being a big issue here and in many cases leading to murder.

One of the more recent cases that comes to mind is the one where the cop killed a couple in Kanchanaburi.

There have been other similar cases where the loss of face ''victim'' has lashed out.

Even in murder cases people have used ''loss of face'' as a defence and got away with it.

Just don't piss off any Thai people.

Mumbojumbo, us Irish say a smidgeen
