I am 110 km from Big C. We live in a village on the oppisite side of the lake to Phayao

Noticed a few more contributions to the poll above and thank you ripstanley for the additional information.

I neglected to consider direction from town when I started this topic and focused instead on distance only. It was brought to my attention recently that East, where I live, has traditionally lagged behind other directions in development but I seem to meet more and more people located East of town these days. Maybe nothing in it, just more people everywhere, but I have noticed a change.

(Oh, and the forum map mentioned early on in this thread never really worked out and was taken down.)

Thank you tangaroa67 for casting your vote and in doing so reminding me of this topic I started a while back. Anyone who may have moved in the last couple of years could delete their vote and then vote again to represent their current location.

I dont know if it is an idea-but now we have street view avaible-but maby that will be to close for some.

Just a thought.

Pasang North just off the 1173 northeast of CR. Only been here for a few month or so.

I live in one of the other villages called Baan Pasang, further east. There is at least one other I have seen.

Are you really more than 50k out of town? I can take a shortcut that knocks off 5k but I much prefer the longer 54k route to the Si Sai Mun intersection.

I bought a plot from the inlaws for around $600AUD in Mae Kowtom city....... Pretty small but enough to build a comfortable holiday house later on down the track when I retire in 30 years.

I bought a couple of rai on Santiburi golf course with the view to moving up there when the kids are done with school.

Not sure of the actual mileage as I have not clocked it but I have found a short cut pasts the Waterford golf club, then turn right at a temple, straight into passing which knocks a bit of a trip into the city.

We have property about 2 Klm from the new bridge in Chinag Khong we have a stream about 2 meters wide goes all the way down one side of our property. Love the area and hope to be living there soon . I also have a house in Nontaburi it is my base for the family and the kids school ,

Chiang Khong surrounding area is we're my future will be in Thailand

Nice local people good food nice climate mountains water

Nice to see we have over 100 votes cast in the poll at the top of the page. Thank you turbotojo, Colonel_Mustard, yourkieb, and WilliamCave for adding a little more information. We sure are a spread out group of individuals.

We have a few new members who haven’t posted on this thread. What do you say, where do you live?

May be one of them it's me? - OK, I am 240 km south of Chiang Rai - A.

We are living in a village north of Phrae - B.

And I'll have to do a lot of interesting work to read these 100 posts.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you Wolfmuc. We have been hearing more from the outlying provinces recently. A lot of interest in Phayao lately for example. Thanks for the map and do you get up to Chiang Rai from time to time?

Thanks for the friendly welcome, 'villagefarang in a valley with a view' and 'Aftrmidnyt in Rim Kok', too. - Years ago I went to Mae Sai very

often, then I had to go to Nan. But I think visiting Chiang Rai would be a very good idea. And on the way up north we will stop at Lake Phayao,

a beautiful place too.

I'll attach 2 pictures, shot near our village. Most part of Phrae province is a wide valley with mountain ranges in the east and in the west.

So we have a very special climate, e.g. we had only 2 or 3 rain showers in the last months. But yesterday the rainy season started.

I'm sure.

Nice pictures and I know what you mean about living in a valley which runs North-South with mountain ranges on either side. Often it looks like rain is coming but it sticks to the mountains and bypasses our area without so much as a drop.

I agree with you about Phayao. I live on the opposite side of the lake.
