Zoom out to see the map. (Green marker)

As I said in post #4, it's most easily reached from the Canal Road, going East at the Ban Nam Phrae (Ob Khan) intersection.

Yes this is the place but the picture you see in Google street view is an older picture

Where can you order kits off the internet ! I flew some RC back in the states would love to start again ... Building it is half the fun watching it crash is like loosing a child !!!!!!

Unless you are a party animal you will enjoy being far enough outside the city that you dont have the traffic and other things to deal with ...

Many houses to rent in Rungarroon 3 under 12,000 a month ... Good place to live close to the market, hospital and very safe .... Just have a red truck drive you around until you see a for rent sign .......

Have had the American spare ribs before (But in another country, but not yankee land) and yes they were good. I think the biggest problem here is that most places chop the ribs into tiny little bite sized portions. What the hell is with that? Im gonna head down to the local market (Mae Rim) tomorrow morning (Early) and get in before they massacre the ribs in order to get a decent size lot to barbque.

As an aside I went to Gecko Garden Restaurant and Pub today, for the 1st time. Id been passed the place lots of times but never actually realised it was there! Yeah maybe Im just a blind old bastard....anyway I tried their fish and chips. For 109 baht I was impressed. Sure its not NZ quality blue cod or snapper or shark (We are spoilt for choice in Godzone ) But the overall delivery of the meal was great. I shall return and try other items on their menu.

However tomorrow is reserved for SK..... great tucker and nice environment (Gets even better after a few cold ones, cant figure out why)

I have been told if you go to Macro and ask for the ribs un cut they will do it for you . Only other place have been able to get them non molested was Mae Hia market ... The cut ribs are not worth the time to BBQ .............

I ve had problems sometime when I click on something it will try to open multiple times. I end up shutting my machine down to get it to stop . Only happens on Thai visa very nerve racking ...

My internet has been off and on all last night and this morning . Anyone else with 3bb having same trouble ???

No way can I find the place with your directions. However Im very interested. What do you mean behind the Hang Dong market? Thanks

If you take the road that runs behing Hangdong market going south you follow that road , it makes a sharp right you will pass a few rice fields on the right and make a couple of sharp turns pass over a bridge contiune about 1 or 2 k and its on your left ...

There is a place on the left side of HWY 108 between Hang Dong Marlet and Sanpatong he some really great works of art . I usually take people there when they come visit .... Its all large wood carvings ...

For those in Hang Dong that enjoy good Thai food found this place the other day . Food was great and reasonably priced . Owner said next month he will offfer steak and pasta dishes as well .

Not hard to find if you follow the road that runs behind the market .. The menu is in Thai but the owner speaks pretty good english and can explain .. Soft shell crab was wonderful !

Im not affiliated with this place in anyway . I just know that the foods very good and its within walking distance for me and I dont want him to close down ......

I hope he had a tooth brush with him .....

Well if it was only one rider Id say he had to jump out a bedroom window , But four of them ,,,, must have been one heck of a ____ bang .. Thats all I ll say ........ Glad I have a white box on the back of my Click ......

I ve used Bangkok Bank never had a problem ....

Cant answer your question but maybe you can answer mine?

Whay school are you going to? What is the price and course load? Im new to Thailand and really in need of some thai language skills...

Sent from my GT-I9500

Im signed up for Easy study Thai @ Pantip plaza. It's 21,000B for the year. I can't recommend them as i haven't started the course yet. I previously studied at Walen in Phuket, i would certainly never recommend Walen school. The teachers in Phuket seemed more interested in which teacher i thought was the best looking or whether i wanted to take them out for dinner or not... Very unprofessional and lacked in teaching skills.

Nobody here have a Thai wife or girlfriend studying English in Chiang mai?

My wife teaches english here in Hang Dong PM me if your wife is interested ..... She also teaches Thai ..... The school at Pantip is good but I prefered YMCA ......

So I decided to make another transfer from my Chase account in America to Bangkok Bank in Chiang Mai the other day. I wanted to transfer $5000. At Chase they call it a Wire Transfer and it cost $40 (1238B). They then asked me if I wanted to transfer in American dollars or in Thai baht. They said transferring in Thai baht might take longer, and the rate would be 29.90 baht per dollar. That seemed a bit low to me, as I've seen high 30's the last week, so I decided on US dollar. I thought, what's the worst that could happen, I lose a few baht as Bangkok Bank takes a fee? So that's what I did, transfer in US funds. Now today when I looked at the transfer into Bangkok Bank, it said that I sent 154,812 baht. That comes out to 30.96 baht per dollar! The cost of sending Thai baht would have been 5312 baht or $171.58!!! Crazy. Did I beat the system? No. Do I feel fantastic? Yes.

For transferring that amount of money, it might be cheaper still to send the money by ACH to Bangkok Bank's New York branch than to do a Wire Transfer. See http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/TransferingFunds/TransferringIntoThailand/ReceivingFundsfromUSA/Pages/ReceivingFundsfromUSA.aspx

I have been using this option for the last three years . Cost me $3.00 from my bank and I think the most BKK Bank has charged me was 300 baht the max they will charge you on any amount is 500 baht . The money generally takes about 5 days from send to spend ..

I also go regular to sausage kings restaurant he does large fish and real chips with a choice of Australian garden peas or British mushy for 99 baht or Atlantic cod and chips etc 199 baht.

Let me strongly advise AGAINST the 99 baht one; it's horrible. It was either the cheapest mushiest fish from the Makro freezer, or something like Pla Nin / Pla Thab Thim.

If the chips were better I could see trying the 199 baht one, but the chips weren't very good either.

The place is very hit & miss.. some things are pretty good like the sausages and pies. And the kebab BBQ thing they do sometimes. But most other food needs improvement. It's too bad because I do like the overall setting.

The fish & chips at Yummie Pizza (Canal Road) was WAY better, but just too pricey.

I have had the sausage king fish and chips several times and its spot on.However he does use beer batter i believe. He gives you a choice of real hand cut chips or American frozen fries which i feel is fair.The cod is the better fish out of them both at 199 baht. I did try the kebab platter for the first time last Saturday and i loved that but is only available every second Saturday

Never had a bad meal at The Dukes , Sausage King , and Yummys .... I too had the Kabob last week it is very good !

I found him the other afternoon in front of SCB at the moat . Ordered two pieces of fish and fries with Tarter sauce . It was real good no complaints . Felt like it was a bargin and good fish .. I couldnt finish all the fries .. Well worth checking out ...

Wife new house car motor bike and a spoiled dog I spend about 40,000 a month on average . Eat almost every meal out ....

People talk about blocking these people from traveling . Its not going to happen thier home countries want rid of them .... Only real fix is a jail cell forever ... There is no cure for them there is no counseling that will make them change. I dont care if you like ladys men whatever ,, thats your choice . But kids ,,,, sorry you need death or a jail cell for life .....

My wife and I stayed in this hotel when we first moved to Chiang Mai . Stayed for 8 days was very comfortable and very clean . Staff was great .... Its a soi or two inside the moat just around the corner many places to eat as well ..

We are 'known' to the Thais... So behave.

I learned a long time ago that even though CM is a big city, the grapevine makes it tiny.

Grape vine ??? here in my moo baan the ladys all call each other CNN .... Word travels faster than the speed of light !!!!

I ve been to Success and Dukes . At the Dukes with both my wife and I eating its generally around 700 to 900 baht depending on what we order. Always walk out full, and happy ... I do wish that he would include the vat in the menu price though .... Makes it easier for the wife to check the bill , and shes going to do that even if we eat at Mc Donalds . But never had a bad meal at either of the Dukes locations ........... Bottom line is you get what you pay for ............
