If you're really thinking of swimming the moat you need to join the "outbreak of idiocy in chiang mai" thread. Farang bah indeed!!

A really stupid idea and illegal - isnt that against TV rules?

Hobby bobby!

Never had any idea that this would go so far or that people would think it could be illegal or against Thaivisa rules! Your right expatmakmak, he does seem like a mod wanna be!

So just out of interest, how many of you would give it a go?

swimming is good exercise for you so if you want try it.i will support from the sides and dave will have his camera ready

Would you mind passing on a link to the fore mentioned law as I'm not aware of it. How many Thai kids have been arrested.

Well im sure you know best, it must be perfectly legal and those 'no swimming' signs put up by the tooth fairy.

But to be serious it is a foolish endeavour, unhealthy and dangerous and, in my opinion, encouraging farang to do it is unwise and shows us in a bad light. Kids are a completely different matter and they are given freedom to be foolish on occasion although, if was my kid, I would not want them to end up in ICU.
