Lanky, are you going to have transportation while you are here or will you depend on hired transport? How far out are you willing to go?

There are lots of websites about the tourist places offered in and around CR and of course, lots of reviews on some of those sites.

Lots of brochures are available in the hotels once you hit town.

Plenty of guides available if you need one.

I'm not really sure what a tourist site is around here. Most of the stuff that I find interesting is just everyday life stuff that I run across. Some of the recommended tourist things seem more about exploiting people so I don't pay attention to those.

If you are here on Saturday night, there is the walking street festival. It will, of course, rain on that parade but some stalls will open up between cloud-bursts anyway. Lots of food stands there as well.

Some nice parks are here. Some decent river walks.

The old CR jail is worth the tour.

The hot springs outside of town is worth an afternoon but it is a dangerous mountain drive to get there.

Check out the restaurant thread for good eating places.

Which hot springs are they?

The ones out past Doi Hang have a good road all the way and have swimming and bathing facilities.

That's the ones.

The quality of the road surface is fine but the switchbacks and blind curves offer plenty of room for trouble. Drunk drivers excluded, lots of people tend to come through the curves in a lane other than their own. We were almost run over by a school bus at one switchback and the guy made no attempt to slow down or avoid us. He just left it to us to get the hel_l out of his way and I nearly wrecked the car doing just that and all of that with me going into the thing slow and expecting the unexpected.

Anyway, the springs area is a nice place spend an afternoon.

You can stop at Will27's house also, he's always pleased to see visitors...

I see what you mean, I suppose coming from a country where any road not riddled with pot holes is classed as "good to excellent" clouds my judgement a little.

I have my own car have been before to white temple and doi tung garden but looking for something different thankyou for your above tourists I will look them up

cheers frank

Thanks for that mate :-)

I quite enjoy the hot springs and don't find the

roads there that bad.

Having said that, I'm usually on the back of the

Honda with the eyes closed.

I prefer the non commercial hot springs a little further down the road. Let's put Will27's house on the map and then everyone can stop by unannounced.

The view from your front lawn is well worth it Will, a tourist attraction in itself.

Do you give discounts with a Thai driver's license? What about reciprocal free visits?

How many coldies is the local falang rate.

One would certainly hope that the old Australian tradition of not arriving empty handed would be observed.

I guess you can get a lid for that Capaccino in the cheaper coffee shops ..

Well now I'm seriously hurt and may need to boycott your establishment.
