cmtg1 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 chiang mai forum is not fun any longer. It is also not terribly informative any longer. It's also not colourful any longer. The classifieds have disappeared. I think that a lot of the regulars have jumped ship or simply got bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmarks Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 No longer informative because those who provided good information were met with nasty responses from bitter, nasty old single men - and a couple of nasty, bitter ladies. The constant negative comments and criticizm caused most members to go to facebook where most people are nice and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamborobert Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The Op has a point. Its not informative, colourful, regulars gone......solution the Expat Club. More information that you can be spoon fed, the most colourful mumus for women (designed by Omar the tent maker), and Hawaiian Shorts for men at the CEC breakfasts (ensembles not to be seen on a full stomach). The regulars that have not passed on to a better place are often in at the Expat Club (Gods waiting room) resting their arthritic non Thaivisa typing fingers securely on the food in their handbags or pockets, or at one of the Outside Activity Groups. I will be joining the moment they start the OAG for Full Contact Bingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It started around 15 or 20 years ago, when Chiang Mai was constantly touted in North America as "one of the world's best places to retire". The result many years later is cmtg1 discovering the Chiang Mai forum is not fun any longer. You can trace the steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy Joe Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 What could be more boring than a group of teens rap fan? or glorious thirties, commenting on their performance? or forties too well installed? etc ... The nice feeling is in blends, always. For expatriates, Chiang Mai has become a retirement town. Never met a young Western in this city. What could be more boring than a group of pensioners?

mania Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 8 hours ago, rogeroc said: In general i think long term stayers are slowly leaving CM. I have not met any Newbies here for sometime either. I agree..... But being a retirement type location for the most part that was always a possibility. Meaning folks once older if they still have the means may return to their own country for various reasons Then you have the page of remembrance Many long stayers have passed away. Not meeting newbies could be down to the lack of Thai govt situation these days. While not a problem for those who lived in Thailand thru the coups/junta etc... For outsiders looking in it may still be a negative when deciding on a place to retire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daoyai Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Other than the content which varies .... I am wondering about the page design, When I log on, I continue to get the generic default style, the three big logos, FB, Twit, and YT ... then all content along the left margin. for a few days after the "imrovements" I got a got a well designed page then it reverted to this style. Is it just on my browser? I have noticed the content has deteriorated along with the design is there a connection there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
