cmbe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 A place that really non profit for any people come to drink coffee/tea, eat some soup, fried rice,... simple food and drink for free, share some experience if they want, or just come to read a book, watch tv, listen to the music (not loud),... may be have some rooms (free)for people who have some problem and no place to sleep (just for a fews day max.), then put some small donate box in case some people what to give a few baht help to survive this place. I am not sure if it will be only a wish, but who know may be possible to begin with 2 baht for a cup of coffee . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 An expanded immigration office - more staff and larger premises.

chiang mai Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 An expanded immigration office - more staff and larger premises. Less foreigners so the current immigration office (which was already extended a couple years ago) suffices. +1 Perhaps an immigration check point about 50 kilo's out in each direction, no Chiang Mai visa, no visit, where do you get visa's from, you can't - OK, out of country tourists can have four days max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tolstoy Posted August 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2012 "An expanded immigration office - more staff and larger premises." I like this one. "Less foreigners so the current immigration office (which was already extended a couple years ago) suffices." I always find it ironic when a foreigner here says this. HELLO YOU ARE INCLUDED IN THIS STATEMENT. Do you really think that you are special? It might be nice to have some nice theaters/live performances, a few excellent museums (natural history, art) Im going to date myself with this, but a Drivein movie theater would be a lot of fun for us nostalgic people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaptainrob Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 More shopping malls Seriously, a beach would be nice but then EVERYONE would want to live in Chiang Mai. Tuk tuk mafia would move up from Phuket, Russians from Pattaya and a new expanded Immigration Office would be overcrowded AGAIN. Besides, a beach without surf is just sand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less foreigners so the current immigration office (which was already extended a couple years ago) suffices. Can't have a beach "and" less foreigners, a beach could only raise the amount of foreigners here, which would make immigration even worse. not forgetting the Russian influx !

naboo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 A top football (soccer) team, competing in an ASEAN Champions League, with players from all over the world. Premier League's back tonight! Turkish Baths. Seriously would be popular if created at some of the Hot Springs, where I have been hugely disappointed with the facilities in both private and government run institutions.

Popular Post Phrafarang Posted August 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would just like there to be shop assistants who can actually answer a question, any question, about the items they are selling.

JimShortz Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Brisbane Qld was a pretty ordinary city until the 'south bank' of it's river was converted to park land complete with artificial lagoon/beach after the '88 World Expo. I couldn't agree more, and all my friends with children too... If you really want more visitors to Chiang Mai get a GREAT WATER PARK. Chiang Mai is a long way to the sea, but with a great water park it wouldn't matter a bit - and lets face it, there's no shortage of water here each year! My vote is to convert the white elephant that is Rachapreuk into a world class water park / fake beach. The infrastructure (car parks, roads, etc.) are already in place. To me it just seems so obvious that that place needs a new purpose. To be honest, what idiot built it for a flower festival without a clear consideration of what it would be used for afterwards? Crazy! They now have a half-arsed flower festival there each year, but it largely goes unused in-between whilst an army of gardeners are paid to maintain it. For what? lol Now, funding it... If each Thaivisa member had one burger and a bottle of water less each week and put the money into a central kitty we could do this before the turn of the century... Although, thinking about it , that's not going to work - all the money gets spent on the other kind of kitty ;-0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Sidewalks. Breathable air in April. Muji / Uniglo A proper hospital Im along the same lines as you. Walkable streets. Breathable air. Cleaner. Safer drivers Less congestion Less Noise pollution ..and sorry, but younger and/or more active (no huge chip on shoulders) farangs. (not meaning anything negative against farangs we have now, but really wish there was more of a balance, thats all) The hospital one is nationwide and too big a ideology for me to even fathom...
