Sorry "JuniorExPat", but "Blinky Bill" is correct.  60 odd km north of Tak. By the way "JuniorExPat" where is "Sirikit Dam"  ? might pop up to it next time I am that way.QUOTE Austhaied Posted Today, 2008-02-06 01:33:58 Sorry to have missed you while you were here. Yes same here. I did give you a bell, but no one answered hence I left couple of drinks behind the bar for you.  My time was limited, maybe if you come to Bangers & Mash we could meet up, and to all of you thank you for your comments  Kan Win  |

Believe it or not I bumped this thread for a constructive reason and got sidetracked into being a smart @rse!
Mods - how about a photo album/pinned thread for pics of Chiang Mai? JxP |

Good idea "JuniorExPat" I'll second that
every other sub-forum has it pinned "Images of ................ Kan Win

Mods - how about a photo album/pinned thread for pics of Chiang Mai? JxP Pinned topics tend to be created for one of three reasons: 1) it is a continual reference of information about the topic or in this case the CM region - eg Chiang Mai contact list of hospitals, lawyers, plumbers, hamburger joints etc 2) a popular topic that continually comes up and many of the posters enjoy eg "where is the best hamburger in Thailand" (ok only kidding). In our case it is "best places in CM to eat" 3) a thread that is of particular interest to one of the moderators of the subforum. I suggest that if the members regularly post photographs on this thread it would be a worthy contender for a pinned subject. The ball or in this case the image is in your hands - do with it as you will. CB |

It took a bit of searching to finally find this thread. I just LOVED the misty, rainy photos of Doi Suthep. I've got a lot of nice photos from up there, but all are on sunny days. Riding my bike up in the rain never occured to me. And, on my last 5 months in Chiang Mai I hardly saw any rain at all. |

I for one would much prefer a pinned topic of "Images of Chiang Mai" at the top of the list instead of "Dying at home in Chiang Mai". Even if it is well intentioned and useful, Could it be more dreadful? Kind of gives newcomers and curious people the impression that this is where westerners come to die. What a downer.

I love photos as most of you know and have thousands I've taken in Thailand. Here are just a few taken locally.
From the road that circles the little lake just outside of town... (north west corner) I believe it is 3 or 4 kilometer walk around the lake and a few spur roads at the far end to explore.      It makes a nice day outing with friends and there's plenty of places to eat. It's pretty busy with Thai people on the weekends.

From some of the responses I thought some had already died.

One can only deduce that the mods of this forum are so close to it, they want to keep the 'Dying' info right at their fingertips. Hence right at the top of the list!

When I'm in Chiang Mai I'm fortunate to stay in corner room in hotel not far from the airport. There is a small pond just outside my window and there is always something happening.
  Local fishermen are always using their dip nets in the small stream, or tossing throw net on the pond. They catch small origami and tilapia fish.  I enjoy watching the bird life and on a couple of occasions have seen cobras. Unfortunately, the snakes were always gone by the time I grabbed my camera.

Hence right at the top of the list! Yah, but I think most of them are younger than me. I'm too mean to die. Dining out with friends seems to be the most popular topic on the Chiang Mai forum. I think this was at some pseudo-cowboy restaurant in the mall.
