I'm sure the tourists will complain about the disappearance of unique and quirky spots, but jeez, what responsible person would place restaurant tables in the middle of a stream bed???

I'm still trying to work out where to find the Chiang Mai "exhilaration" experience - clearly it won't be in a stream :)

Oh!,someone is doing something different and making

money at it,and the customers seem happy,better clamp

down on it,quick.

Obviously they only set the tables up AFTER the rainy season.

Maybe they do it during and that's where the "exhilarating" part comes in? :D

Tables?  TABLES?  Aye, tables were a luxury, in my day we just had to tread water.....

 

Hang on!  You forgot your change...

  It is not only some Thais , but tourists who do not care how they act while they holiday

in Asia. Too many slobs in the world these days..

If I mailed the mother lode ( England ) and said I was going to have lunch today at the  ' Straddling Stream Cafe ' they would be quite jealous. Must be better than ' The cafe by the Pond Coverd in ice '

Maybe it's just my mind but people I know in UK would say 'didn't your Mum tell you to stay away from places like that'

Really......I remember being halfway up a mountain in  the Lakes with one of our teachers leading a small group of us 16-year-olds when we came across a stream and started to drink, the teacher said, be very careful of doing that, rat urine in water can kill - we were 2,500 feet up Scafell for gods sake!

Often see dried rat urine on top of soda/beer cans.

Every can bottle whatever we buy my wife sticks in a bucket of water with a little bit of chlorine bleach in it.

Just a good habit anywhere to be honest.

If it is Chang, that can only improve the taste.
