Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has noticed any 'beautification' or even any publicity around town for this event? The championships start this Sunday. Are any of you going? Official Website.

The opening and closing ceremonies are designated to reflect Chiang Mai arts and cultural charms to impress all athletics and spectators.

During the event, the city will be beautified with flowers and decorative plants to promote the image of a clean city.

Don't know about beautification, other than noticing on a walk this afternoon back from Nat Honda to my apt on Huay Kaew Road, that there were lots of fresh potted plants at intersection of Huay Kaew and Canal Rd. The Chiang Mai Orchid Hotel, where I go daily (my gym/pool) is PACKED with participants in this event; they wear trademark red polos.....

There are beautification projects all over Chiang Mai. The super highway, Tapae Gate and other areas of the city. Here is some more information from the IWF site about the event in Chiang Mai.

I've just returned from a three month business trip abroad, and I can NOT believe all the changes!! It would be wonderful if some of them were for the better, other than the flowers! :o

Thapae Gate looks like a bomb hit it. The moat, once difficult to stroll around, is now impossible to stroll around, the new Rimping near the airport is already cracking in half. (Take a look at the floor in the second isle to the kleft as you walk in the front door,) and my favorite bar has closed down!

At least the countryside is still just as pretty as ever, and the people just as friendly. :D
