Start breeding fighting cockerels.
Match their late night noise with your early morning noise.
Then see who moves out first!
Instead of boring fighting cocks I recommend Denizli Roosters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_GAAWNNrOI. This is where the fun starts ...

... but for a gift ...
... make for nice presents ...
Keep in mind knives can be very special as presents for Thais even though they may be familiar with western style. Maybe you consult your wife first whether even a precious kitchen knife can really bring the expected joy to the person you have in mind. Of course - not an issue in case the lucky person is a westerner.
I speak as somebody who has been "once bitten" ...

PunPun's is one of the very few western dining locations my (Thai-)wife really likes to visit, too. Not only due to the extraordinarily delicious fried garlic Tabtim/Tilapia or the excellent spring rolls she prefers over there but also - in case the kitchen wizard finds some free time - the amusing talks with John's likeable and unassuming wife Pranee.

May it have something to do with the golf courses ...?My point exactly. That's what I find so baffling. Why aren't they saving the water, especially when it's raining?

PATTEX contact adhesive, available in every DIY shop. Make sure you follow impulse's advices, they are essential. In addition roughen both contact surfaces thoroughly by heavy grit sand paper before cleaning them.

... like maybe the pork knuckle... and if you like the pork knuckle come by and try our version.... people seem to like it as one of our best dishes.
Got me ...!
(And thanks again for one more of the most delicious pork knuckels in Thailand I enjoyed at your place last Thursday!)

You were lucky: Not very widespread, and not the "sugar cane fighter" species. (And have a look at the price ...)
Whitin more than 20 yrs in Thailand I never saw one alive even though I like to roam through woods and nature.
Buy a lottery ticket --- maybe you've hit a winning streak ...!

Okay now I'm worried about staying in Thailand. ... Time to get out ...
Keep coooool, Tukky ... Obviously you simply do not understand how things work in this country ... But don't worry --- no outsiders do understand ...

Just watched it, and found it boring. Wouldn't have even finished watching if I wouldn't have had an extra job.
Can't imagine how it gained an IMDB rating of 7.0. -
Any cycling events/actions on Sept. 20th in Chiang Mai? Google couldn't give me any hint.
Thx! -
Several cases at the time being in our nearby village, Saraphi district. Diagnozed and treated (don't know how, outpatient) by hospitals. Symptoms similar to a flu. No really serious cases afaik. Most of them children/youngsters whose parents/relatives are members of our local bike community, so I hear about them. Parents don't seem too worried, too.
Spotting more tiger mossies than average; normally very rare, maybe once a month, now almost daily. -
... Nazi Germany has nothing to do with the present situation in Thailand.
It has, Richard, it has but you might not see it ...

Valid for me, too, Tonto. But since 2 cycling friends were almost bitten to death (No exaggeration, believe me! Severely injured!) by a pack of 5 obviously (poorly) trained german shepherd dogs in a remote area at the foot of Doi Suthep and only survived by happenstance I always carry an inconspicuous Guardian Angel pepper spray with me.What am I doing so different? I just don't get these problems with dogs.
Sure they bark, follow and even chase on the odd occasion..... But I never really feel under threat.
I ride in Mae Taeng, all offroad, so the dogs are bush and village dogs, not Soi.
I adopted a mates way of dealing with the dogs, I try and make friends with them, most you can, some never will. This approach has paid off over the years as I have found a small dog biscuit works better than a stick. However I understand this my not work everywhere and with every dog.....
It also happens from time to time that I'm approached during taking a rest, sometimes even stopped - often on tour in remote areas - by people who simply are curious so far about the lonesome rider but often it made me feel rather uncomfortable especially when I was asked immediately about the content of my panniers, the price of my bike and whether I'm riding alone ...
Never needed to use it for tens of thousends of kms but who ever knows ...
-
In case your son sleeps in an air conditioned room: Let a professional thoroughly clean your entire AC unit (even though you may clean the filters on a regular basis) with a high pressure cleaner. You will wonder what a mess you'll see coming out ...
This was the reason for the same symptoms a friend suffered from and which completely disappeared after the cleaning action.
I wish all the best for your son ...

For "low tech" parts I always make my find at L.A. bicycles at the inner northern side of the moat close to the north-eastern corner of the moat.

Moth balls: Every weekly market. Ask for "Luuk men" (stinky balls). But be careful: They contain naphtalene > http://www.epa.gov/ttnatw01/hlthef/naphthal.html.

No problem to cross the bridges with a bicycle; did it several times already: The friendly officers will "ask" the driver of the next pick-up with empty load floor to give you a lift. Nobody rejects. Everytime after arriving the other side I offered the driver 50 THB for the lift, everybody rejected.

Have a look at warmshowers.org.
Accomodation in Lao can become difficult since more and more Chinese tourists travel in their own cars.
Last year it happend some times that an accommodation was fully occupied at 03:00 pm, the next possible "hotel" I arrived at 05:00 pm was also full, so I had to spend the night in a paddy field hut.
After the second time I changed my timing system: Started cycling at sunrise to finish my 100 ... 130 km shortly after noon ... -
The Geax Saguaro tires are made in Thailand and work great. Used them the last two rainy seasons and they have good grip and don't tend to pack clay.
Sounds great! Due to an obviously not in every case appropriate prejudice I never searched deeper for Geax Saguaro reports.
But what I read here, too (http://chinertown.com/index.php?topic=27.0), has all it takes to give them a try ...

Several friends in Europe are very satisfied with the new Specialized's Butcher (front), Slaughter (rear)
on their 650b for xc purposes especially on muddy, slippery spring surfaces.
Others swear by Schwalbe "Hans Dampf".
Here in CNX I ride off-road on "Racing Ralph" but will bring along a pair of both mentioned above from Europe after my summer visit. -
Find a huge selection here: https://www.google.de/search?q=penis+helmet&biw=1536&bih=729&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JElIVYugEIyGuAT794DgCw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=duplo+helmet ;-)
Sounds like you need a crash helmet for your other head, too.Just had a philosophical thought.......
The head is placed by nature at a very exposed position, while the real important bodyparts are mounted between the legs where it is very safe.
If the head would be so important it would be mounted between the legs and the other parts on top of us, or?
(no I am not drunk, I am always like that
)Between the legs I think is more exposed, at least when riding a bike., given the number of times I've landed on the top tube :-)

Don't get discouraged, CNXexpat, I suppose it was probably one of these: http://www.haibike.de/produkte_detail_en,3006,22840,detail.html ;-)During the King's Birthday ride and race up Doi Suthep, I saw two riders on fat bikes. Obviously for show. They serve a purpose once you have about 7-10 other bikes. But riding up Doi Suthep on the road isn't one of them.
I agree. I saw a fatbike going up Doi Suthep in December as well. More importantly, it was passing me uphill on these crazy 5" tyres while I was just thinking that my time to the temple wasn't so bad this time. Very demotivating.
Cheers, CM-Expat

National Park Experience
in Chiang Mai
Posted
Your presumption is true.
The reason I don't visit Thai national parks anymore is not the entrance fee but my bleeding heart seeing how unawarely and disrespectfully most Thais use to treat their national heritages.
