Years ago a Chinese cruise ship captain referred as <deleted>,k It without knowing why most of the Aussies were smiling.

[Garry]

But we could often claim to be "in the Phu".

I think you are having trouble with your aim mate.

[Ghostnigel]

Actually it is like the "N" word, which only black people can use. If you don't live here don't let us hear ya calling it da Rai, Ya feel me?

But we live in The Rai. Not the same as wry or Rye.

[sceadugenga]

We had a lot of what seemed like teenage angst and alienation here last year though so he may have a point.

I wonder who could be described as "the Catcher" in that tantrum-fest?

My extensive research skills (google search) for the term 'The Rai' led me to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_people

.........The Rai are the Khambu (people living in Mud Hut).........in Nepal

Nothing there about Chiang Rai I'm afraid.

I hope this does not muddy the waters.

That is our sister city.

[Rotweiler]

Uh.... Huh? Chiang Rai has a sister? A "pretend sister" perhaps. I think he/she works at a bar in Chiang MAI now.... got confused at her old bar in our fair city about requests to "pour me a rai"..

Post removed. Forum rules ...

English is the only acceptable language, except within the Thai language forum, where of course using Thai is allowed.

[sceadugenga]

My apologies onthedarkside, the term is one of common farang usage so I presumed it would past muster.

My greatest peeve is I can't go back in time and take advantage of everything with my knowledge of the future.

All I want is a week, just one week. !

[sceadugenga]

Wouldn't do me much good, I've forgotten most of it anyway.

I just think of the missed opportunities along the way ... and the times that I have politely declined ... girlfriends of girlfriends and the like.

OH ... I'm still happy with my lot now ...

Or do you mean all those knock backs we got that we might have cracked it with a different approach?

I dont know what you mean by knock backs...must be the blue eyes.

Oh no of course not, I was thinking like doing better in school and stuff like that

[sceadugenga]

I wonder what we'll remember when our day draws to a close... the girls we knew or the marks we got in school?

[villagefarang]

Unfortunately more and more people seem destined to remember nothing, robbed of all memories by the ravages of age and dementia .

Better to think of the ones we had and still have that worry about the ones we might have had.

...and i was thinking about skipping school, knowing what numbers on the lottery and get to the Rai 20 years earlier.

[Rotweiler]

Hear, hear, especially the part about getting to CHIANG RAI many years earlier.

[harrry]

Please please do not let Chiangrai be like those places where people have come after a working life that followed them skipping school and not winning the lottery. There is more to here than football, football fights and beer,.

With all these people arriving ... is it getting crowed in the Rai yet?

I prefer Chiang Hai, yes with the H... Spoken by the elders.

Let's not get too precious about the joint.

Was out and about last week and saw a dish with CTH on it. I'd heard

of them before as I read that they now have the English Premier League.
