Good afternoon! I am looking to find people with really odd jobs in Chiang Mai. The weirder the better - legal of course! If you or any of your friends have a weird job, and you don't mind sharing it with me, could you please tell me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Pim

There was a post about a year ago with photo's of these 2 Thai guys cleaning out a drain. They got into it submerged up to their chins in very dirty and most likely very smelly too. Would surely be right up your alley, I think it was in Bangkok somewhere though.

Once I saw men in their skivvies working alongside one of Chiang Mai's city streets, submerging themselves full body to repair a backed-up sewer problem. Amazing.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I wil see if I can find any of these people you mentioned (incidentally, I saw the metre guy photograph my metre yesterday too), and if there are any more suggestions that would be fantastic! PIm

How about the guys (and gals) that come in the moobaans in the evenings to catch the tokay and other critters?

how about watering the trees at thapae gate ... does that count ?

this is the simon hoist from the fire station almost opposite siam tv on the inside of the south moat road

they spent nearly all day pumping water from the moat to water every tree at thapae gate 2 april 10

Napkin folder - Or the art of tying fork and spoon together with a flimsy piece of tissue, but so tightly it seems they've been arc welded together.

Good ones guys. Thank you. You have contact details of teh tukkae catchers? Have never met a dedicated one myself (just gardeners and handymen who also happen to catch teh odd one). Cheers, Pim

Being paid a pittance to sit at a computer for hours on end and read through 1000's of irrelevant, inane and absurd comments on a daily basis strikes me as being pretty high up on the odd job o meter...

how about melting old candle ends for the candle parade ( due next month )

these pics of the boy monks working were taken at wat pa pao and the parade was in july 08

Ive seen them too in Bangkok.

They did not seem to worry about all the germs in the street drain.
