Well, considering it was Christmas day with all the other invitations, family events and Christmas buffets available, I consider our little Picnic a roaring success. We had Christmas decorations, Christmas music, 15 delightful people, lots of good conversation, too much good food (a new German dish compliments of W's lady), two newbies(W's wife and a Texas lady and great weather.

Could not do your normal great job but here is a few I snaped off from my chair while eating. After eating, pictures were the last thing on my mind. Stuffed! Still can not believe I went to another Christmas party that night and had a huge turkey dinner.

But there were no photos of the food.

The sixteenth CR Pot Luck Picnic will be held at the Usual Place and time, Sunday Jan. 29, 13:00 at the CR Ag. Research Center on old CR Road.
Kd has offered to bring his BBQ grill if anyone needs it but you must give him (or me) a couple of days advanced warning Welcome. #434Posted 2012-01-23 20:23:15
I won't be missing this one. If the BBQ does come, I would bring MEAT!! The wife is on this veg kick? Maybe potatoes, but those green things???

Lisa say she will make food here, so don't require BBQ.

As usual, enjoyed company and great food. A new couple who share my passion for reading and look forward to new authors.

I think I counted about 22 with a new couple from Texas and a new German and his Vietnamese wife. Getting more international all the time. A very very nice afternoon.

Not only do you get to enjoy the food and company, but you can tap into some very useful advise from the gardening and Thai members of the group. The combination of knowledge from them last Sunday solved the riddle of an unidentified 'new' shrub in our garden. Having spent hours on the internet and looking through my gardening tomes to no avail, a quick look at the rather blurry photo on my camera, and I was given a possible Thai name to track down.
It wasn't exactly the same, but googling it turned up what it actually was, just a couple of web. addresses down the list. For those who want to know - it turned out to be a Mitrephora Keithii Ridl, A beautiful plant. So - many thanks to you. #443Posted 2012-01-31 09:20:46
Sorry I couldn't join you all but have a teaching commitment one to three Sundays- Grrrrrr!

Figure I am doing my part, improving overall attendance by not attending myself. Wouldn’t want to upstage anyone or ruffle any feathers.

Family are going to meet us at the airport later this month and the plan is to have a picnic before we head to Phayao. I was wondering if there are power outlets or wifi at this location or at any other parks that have these conviences.

Aside from power and free wifi, all Chiang Rai parks have karaoke, valet parking, handicap access, immaculate lavatories, no litter, no bugs, no vendors and guaranteed unimpeded views. In a pinch, some locals have been seen to settle into a quiet spot at the Mall and have a picnic there, enjoying a view of all the gawkers and window shoppers. Just pull over anywhere and I am sure everyone will have a great time.

And when VF takes his dog people also have a free cold shower.
Seriously there is power but no wifi but a wheelchair can access. At he alternative location there are even handicapped toilets. #450Posted 2012-02-10 12:28:11
VF was pulling your leg, but it was sort of funny looking for a Thai public park with WiFi.
Maybe Mae Fa Luang cultural Park (200 Bt?) not sure. |
