December 21, 2025Dec 21 What is a city to you Harris? For me Chiang Khan is a small provincial town way out of the way in upper Loei right on the Mekhong. It has been discovered by the travelling Thai's and become hot. We were there two years ago right around New Years. Crowded but not crazy at all. Fun times riding bikes along the river, finding a cooler place to stay just up the road. Went out to the skywalk on a nice cool day and had fun.

I lived there 20 years ago and it was even worse but it is still a dump. When the burning season starts it is literally hell and this can last 4 months. What about the wonderful traffic. It can take an hour to get into the city from the ring road(1.5 k). The rats love the place and I have never seen bigger rats anywhere. Rats love filth...

December 21, 2025Dec 21 This year, had some very nice stays at Krung Thep: Sathorn, Khlong Son No particular order, though, as always, visiting our daughter & partner, along with brother & wife, at Krung Thep was special. Other memorable towns, areas, this year: Suan Phueng (Ratchaburi) Ban Luang & Mae Chaem (Chiang Mai) Mae Tho (Tak) Khlong Sok (Phang Nga) Sichon (Nakhon Si Thammarat)

What's special?. If I'm honest, apart from the bigger cities, every other place is much the same. Same as everywhere in the world. However the people make the experience, not the bricks and mortar. But you have to meet the people and can't do that on a fly through visit.

Pattaya 4. Pai 5. Samui City or how you call it 😄 These are most memorables IMO, however my "top 5 overall" looks different and #1 changes time to time now... as my location 😀
December 21, 2025Dec 21 Says who and by what criteria? I think ao nang is beautiful with the jungle, limestone cliff and sea all in the same field of view.

It's OK, though last 2 times in the surf, I got an ear infection, so I do wonder about the fecal count, as there are no sewer treatment plants nearby, and all sewer / storm drains end up in the surf, along Ao Prachuap. They are right next to each other. I don't bother going in any more, save that for Ban Krut or hotel pool.
