Last time we were in Chiang Mai there seemed to be lots of Expats reading bumph around

Been here 3 weeks and seen nothing except the March Edition Newsletter I picked up at Immigration

Maybe its wrong time of the month??

Thanks

The expat/tourist magazines usually come out around the beginning of the month, but have not seen the new editions so far.

"Bumph"?? Is it related to chromosome sets or is it some sort of Commonwealth euphemism?

I think Chiang Mai Mail has more or less shut down but Citylife is still in operation though I don't know where to find the print edition. Citylife's website can be found here and the next print issue is dated May 5th.

If/when you need reading material, I recommend you just go to Gecko Books, buy 1,000 baht worth of used books, and always have one in the back pocket or purse. I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of good authors I have stumbled across being cheap and buying the 50 & 60 baht books. I would buy a bunch of them, toss in a couple of my favorite authors, and walk off (after paying, of course) with hours of pleasure at my finger tips.

Agree. But at the risk of advertising, the OP should know about the new fortnightly Chiang Mai Post newspaper (seperate thread on this). One of the Thai team told me it's now in 53 newsagents around town, but they don't have any in the Night Bazaar or down Hang Dong Road. But it looks promising.
