BBbUn Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Anybody know where in the Chiang Mai area one can get some decent wind to fly a power kite? We have one of those foil kites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimShortz Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Be careful telling Thai friends that you are off to fly a kite - it means something else entirely in Thai! To give you a clue... think of the hand/arm action required in order to try and keep a kite in the air in low wind conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paagai Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'd try the Park off Nimanheminda Road near the CMU buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJW Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Where are there any sustained wind places in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorExPat Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Where are there any sustained wind places in Chiang Mai? ThaiVisa.com? Seems to be plenty of hot air around here these days. What about Huay Tung Tao, would there be enough space around there? Not sure how much wind gets in there though. What's a foil kite? Is it something I need to know about before the children start asking for one?! JxP Edited June 18, 2010 by JuniorExPat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JxP Huay Thung Tao doesn't ever get any sustained winds, it is too close to the mountains I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Bill Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Best send a PM to caf, he's one of the biggest kite flyers on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
