Pless101 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi forum. Hope someone can help me here I am new in Chiang Mai, been out a few times but really not the way I want to live. Only reason I go to bars is because I am pretty board at my hotel. I am hoping to make a live here but that will require getting to know the right kind of people.Are there any in this forum who can help me?What I am asking for is someone to show me the way to find real friends here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 There is a CM expats club.....they have coffee get togethers - monthly meetings & and special interest groups that some meet weekly.....you can probably find them online & show up - I think it's 1000TB for lifetime card and you'll be piped into a lot of people & interests..... Also some sports clubs on FB...... In the meantime get out and wander around - might stumble onto so interesting stuff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pless101 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Do you know where to some of the clubs? Think this is really what I am looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 'Club' is a bit generic. What sort of club? Chess club? Fencing club? Night club? Investment club? Photography club? RC club? There are hundreds of clubs in Chiang Mai, and we can direct you to them, but we need to know what you're looking for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 http://www.chiangmaiexpatsclub.com/activities/ http://www.chiangmaiexpatsclub.com/meetings/ What part of town do you live? We could advise you about good fitness clubs in your area and good places to go to take Thai langauge classes. Both are good places to meet people and improve yourself at the same time.

AnotherOneAmerican Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Okay Climbing and a place where all expats go to learn Thai Also some firtness workout. Really really tired of bars, not what I came for Loads of people running up the mountain paths. (or walking quickly up then running down) Not so popular in the rainy season though, as it's a bit dangerous. Would need to know your age, nationality and fitness level.

FolkGuitar Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Let me add a word for the Chiang Mai Fencing Club. Many of the CMU fencers come down to fence with us, especially the boys on the Thai National team. We meet every Saturday, and welcome all ages and fitness levels, and provide free lessons for the beginners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hml367 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) CMU Aikido Club aikidocmu.wordpress.com/ Japan Karate Institute Wado Kai www.japankarate-cnx.net I don't know of anything for the fencing club. You could stop by the Student Union Building and ask. There is also Thai sword and there used to be Tae Kwond Do, but I think Tae Kwon Do practices somewhere else now. There are also a lot of things going on in the gymnasium of CMU.... judo, Muay Thai, boxing, and others. Edit: Also a kendo club Edited September 6, 2014 by hml367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Jeez - 55555 - he just got into town and had the foresight to ask here.....but.....you offer good advice.....Thai women are the very best when good - the very worst when bad & subtly softly pursuasive.....take your time and get to know many....many Thai girls fall in love fast especially with a good man - the trick is skilfully find out exactly what kind you're getting involved with..... If the OP truly does not care for bars then he has one step in the right direction...when in doubt take time out and get a nice oil massage - just don't take out/date the gal that's giving it to you..... Less sharks cirlcing in CM - but they are out there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpkt8 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yes if you don't care much about bars then you are one step in the right direction. As long as you don't show that you have money, the sharks won't be circling around you.. It takes affinity to meet your true one and time will tell if she's right for you. Good luck and enjoy CM:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
