EVENKEEL Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Been there once for a few days. Nothing to see here folks. Pet drugged up tigers. Did take a boat ride up river to the location of Rambo, saw John's house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 Great place, & the mountains. Those that poo-poo it are typically devoid of culture Pattaya types. I’m glad they stay away. ???? ^^^ Nov-Feb is best, and no you don’t need a mask then. 3 2 1 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CecilM Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Meh, it was great (20 years ago) but since then steadily declining. Now it’s just an expensive trap of hiso coffee shops for tourists. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Generally CM is pretty boring I think. Maybe a get away place for a few days to relax. The golf is decent. The mountain and adventure activities are OK for tourists. I find the girls to be mostly stuck up and unfriendly. The red light area is a huge rip off with bad attitudes. Food veggie and coffee shops every where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FolkGuitar Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 Been here 22 years. Can't think of any reason to leave! Unless you are here for the drinking and bar girls, which I'm told have gone down in the past 20 years, it's a delightful place to live. The food is great, the people are friendly, the prices are certainly right, and the geography beautiful. Who could ask for more? 7 5 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Say what you will about the hokey video. It gives our keyboard warrior caste, a chance to crawl out from under a rock, & engage in one of their deeper cultural needs. The sheer joy in finding fault. Reckon they will celebrate a successful morning's work by digging out a frozen meat pie to toss in the microwave for lunch, and who can blame them?! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post a3tsw Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just returned from a Weekend in Chiang Mai , enjoyed very much , but didn't venture in to the the centre of the city , as I was there for a running event at Doi Suthep , so stayed close to the start/finish at Chiang Mai Zoo , great value hotel at 390Baht per night , clean , air-con & wifi and plenty of eateries and local night market. Will probably return next year.. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arithai12 Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 For a short time visitor, CM is mildy boring compared to places like Bangkok, Phuket, and I suppose Pattaya where I have never been. Seen 1 or 2 of the 100 temples, taken a couple of guided tours of the surroundings, done your shopping, sipped your drink in a quiet garden place, you can leave without missing it much. But to live in CM as a resident and not a tourist, then it's another story. No other place in Thailand where I'd rather be, day in day out. 3 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LaosLover Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 It's mini-BKK. Want Mexican food? Ok, you don't have 50 choices, only six. Boo-hoo. So much to discover here. The area a bit south of Wat Umong is developing into a hippie zone alternative to The Old City. Love seeing the mountains everyday. In the states, an old town with mountain views generally is only for millionaires. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the same thing about Pattaya, like you, 'as a resident and not a tourist'. It's great for year-round living. I do like CM, too--my partner and I have visited 4 times and likely will go again sometime--but we like living by the ocean and Pattaya's close proximity to Bangkok. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they're speaking through a sodden roll of paper towels. And those impenitrable posh accents demand subtitles. Never over-react to a random lizard again. A million other gap ye-ahh dullards have gone before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
