fm2002 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well I made the move to Chiang Rai from Pattaya. Been here a week and finally got my internet hooked up. Wanted to thank all who helped me. Found a nice place to live and so far enjoying the Rai life. Had a little problem with my foot so I haven't been out much, but hoping to get out and about next week. Hope to see you all around ! P.S. Anyone know a good old style barber where I can get a cut and a shave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Rai Thanks I'll check it out. How about a good "straight" Thai massage ? Pai massage, also on the Phahonyotjin Road but the other side, almost opposite the turning for JedYod Rd.

DonaldBattles Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Welcome to Chiang Rai. There is a barber on the main road in Hong O that will give you a shave and a haircut very cheap. Travel further down the road toward the national park and hot springs and you will find Don's Deli, Bakery, Little Longhorn Saloon and Cafe on the waterfront. Watch for the signs on the left. Sunday we have 100 Baht buffet of light foods and the saloon is open. The Cafe is closed on Sunday. Our foods are some of the best in Thailand. When you come by ask for Don or call 081 894 6401, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might remember me I sent you a email about my interest in different cuts of meat ie: strip loin, tenderloin etc. Anyway I went by twice to eat while I was here last time, but you were away. As soon as I can get around I'll be by. Don't you have a party coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandahar Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 So in what part of town did you end up finding a home? And welcome to the potluck this Sunday. The bad foot shouldn't be a problem at that. We don't usually dance. Well, sometimes, but not usually. At the worst, you may end up at the back of the food queue if you can't move fast. But there is always plenty to eat.

kandahar Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was just re-reading the first few pages of the potluck thread. I notice quite a few people who posted haven't made it to the potluck yet. Maybe this time.................. There is plenty of shelter at the place, so if it showers a bit tomorrow, no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people who call Pattaya home are a rare breed. Don't think they would make it a week up here. For me I knew Pattaya wasn't for me and Chiang Rai although a bit slow suits me fine. Can't wait to explore and make it my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyMcCollum Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Pattaya has changed so much IMO over the last 8 - 10 years, Just not what it use to be. Comming from Hawaii I thought I needed to be near the ocean. Now I am up north in Chiang Mai and loving every minute of it. I wish you well !

Comming from Hawaii I thought I needed to be near the ocean. Now I am up north in Chiang Mai and loving every minute of it. I wish you well ! I'm mostly Hawaiian Jeffrey so I understand the draw of the Ocean. I'm fortunate enough to have an apartment next to one (not in Thailand). So the way I figure if I can find a place up here in CR I can have the best of both worlds; Ocean and Mountain Pattaya has no Ocean and I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Well I guess if I stayed there long enough I might be caught dead floating in it from apparent suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
