OldChinaHam Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Please do not ask me to explain and spell it out too much for you. But what time is it in Chiang Mai? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Same as every other place in Thailand. You have a computer, it has a clock, bottom right corner. Odd question. By the time someone answers the time will have changed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 ^^ Word is that you have the stars in your eyes and an understand of the time/space continuum. My college study of Classical & Contemporary Metaphysics was in some ways an asset to my studying Physics and why my video above. It has an effect on one's perspective of things and doesn't lock you into a fixed viewpoint. A very good area to get truly 'outside the box'. Here's one theblether is sure to enjoy.

You know, I bet if you reverse the battery in the back of that clock, put the plus where it should not go, Then you can get the clock hands to reverse direction and go counter clockwise.

OldChinaHam Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Does anyone in Chiang Mai have an atomic clock they use frequently and/or what about a clock that is just tuned into the nearest atomic clock signal? But do these radio clocks work in Chiang Mai? How far does the nearest atomic clock signal travel before reaching CM City? And has anyone noticed that the time provider (radio/computer/friend's mobile phone) they normally use to tell time in Chiang Mai is usually slow or fast?

OldChinaHam Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 GPS Clocks - Uses the worldwide GPS system on board atomic clock to sync wirelessly. Those are nice clocks. I think I prefer the platinum series: "The Platinum Series is the first and only analog clock series available with a chemically-resistant coating to protect against commonly used cleaners and dust collection for easy sterilization. The smart design provides a sterile look that can easily be incorporated into any facility." You never can tell when you might need a sterilized clock. Or, when you might need a "sterile look" By the way, have you noticed how many wall clocks in Chiang Mai do not show the correct time??? It's weird, man. Where I was staying last, they had 4 wall clocks showing New York time, Chiang Mai time, and two other times, but not one showed the correct time, anywhere. And the worst part about it is that Thai has too many different ways of thinking about time embedded in their language. Time in Thai seems like it will be a real horror show to study one of these days in my near future. I am not looking forward to this one bit.

The same time as anywhere......time to get up and smell the roses, breathe some fresh air and live today as though it is the last day of your miserable life. Have Fun! Cheers.
