It doesn't have to be budget accommodation - middle range would do, unless someone knows of really good deals in budget places.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I know budget & Avis acommodate this arrangement . Both charge xtra 3000bts for different pick up/drop off points. When factoring this into pricing it will cost approx 2100 bts per day .
Anyone know of any other companys who might facilitate my requirement cheaper.

On the ride back, I asked if he had a key for the padlock. He then made an immediate illegal U-turn, pulled in a drive, stopped his bike by an attractive young woman who was getting ready to start her motorbike, plucked her keys from her (didn't remove just the key he needed) and took off with me, ...all without saying a word. The look on the girl's face was priceless.

Altogether, reinforced my thinking that Chiang Rai cops are ok - at least the ones I've interacted with.

The trail seems to have been improved considerably by the addition of sandy soil making it much less slippery.
I wore scuffs, which wasn't a good idea, old runners are better. I was 30kg lighter than on my last attempt which was a good idea.

The wife (farang) and I are in the madly attempting to close out our affairs in the US for our retirement to Thailand. Everything had been planned with a move to Hua Hin and my two dependent grandchildren would have attended Stamford University there. Seems Stamford has moved all their English formatted classes to the Bangkok campus. Not wanting to retire to Bangkok, I have been searching for new locations.

I just returned from three weeks in Thailand checking out universties and living areas. The best two locations for all our criteria seem to be Uttradit and Chiang Mai. But Uttradit seems a little too quiet and Chiang Mai may be too distracting for the grandkids. I somehow missed Chiang Rai which seems to fit all the needed criteria. I see MFLU has an international program and an really reasonable cost - but I can't find a lot of info about it.

Does anyone on this forum know if there are many international students in Chiang Rai? By international I mean farang. I have searched through the teacher's forum (Ajarn) but they discuss mostly employment issues.

Our plan is to be relocated by Mar 2010 to get adjuste before the school year starts in June.

Any info would be appreciated.
