SomSak64 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 My girlfriend always worries about the sun, while I enjoy to get a little tan. So now I consider to buy a parasol (a sun-umbrella), but have two questions: 1) Would she accept it and use it, or is it totally unfashionable? 2) Where can I find a really nice one in Bangkok? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Bring her to CM for a weekend. Book into a Princess suite at Rydges for a couple of days. Take a tour out to Baan Borsang and go shopping with her. Find one she likes. Brownie Points awarded for: A weekend away for the two of you The shopping with her The Princess Suite. See if you aren't smiling on Monday. Next Saturday is flower festival, it's a nice time here. PM me for a booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 1) Would she accept it and use it, or is it totally unfashionable? During the Victorian era it was the must have of fashion accessories, but alas it went out of fashion with the corsets and crinolines . Seriously, if your partner worries about her skin than a parasol is very practical. IT's got the right idea - women love it when you take them away, esp when shopping is involved. Even if she's not into the parasol thing, I'm sure you'll both have a great time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I notice with some humour that the Doc is still wearing the corset and the crinolines. He has stopped using the bustle however because it kept getting caught in the doors of both elevators and elevated trains. As to the parasol, still de rigeur I see.

SomSak64 Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thanks for the advice. Yes, I am sure my gf would like a princess weekend in Chiang Mai. And shopping she appreciates anywhere. She is however working 6 days a week, with only Mondays off, so it will have to wait a little until we have some days to spend together (generally she is working even in the national holidays). But what is Baan Borsang, and is there any reason I would expect to find a parasol there rather than in some market or mall in Bangkok? Umbrellas I can find anywhere, but I would like something really nice in silk and beautiful details. I am back in northern Farangland for the next month or so, but it would be nice if I could arrange something sent for her birthday on February 27th (I doubt I can make it back to then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Borsang is where the worlds most beautiful umbrellas are made' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomSak64 Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Aha! Now it makes a lot of sense. An Internet-search turned up this (among others): http://welcome-to.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/umb-fest.htm A princess week-end in Chiang Mai it may indeed be!
