He's correct, little or no off-street parking has been allocated in new HighRise developments ... soi's too narrow for additional parking.

I wonder what the semi desolate/derelict area, to the west of NH (bordering canal road), will become ... more condo's?

If it wasn't for the fact the songtheaw mafia won't allow big yellow taxis Joni Mitchell's song could have been the Chiang Mai anthem:

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

Mmyeah.. Though you can only imagine how much of a value increase that spot gained in the past 18 years; she could be crying all the way to the bank if she wanted to.

But yes, and I've mentioned this before, the local government has been largely successful in preventing the old town from getting completely congested. They may now however be already too late to achieve the same in Nimmanhaemin / CMU.

Yeah, I've heard a screen door bang a few times.

With me t was a black cab, not a big yellow taxi that took me away.
