We sure felt it here in Chiang Rai, but no apparent damage.

In Topic: 3Bb Internet Woes

It's always good to find out it's not just me. I've noticed degraded connectivity for the last few days, and tonight, many sites give me:

  • Safari: Safari can’t open the page “http://whatever” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
  • Chrome: The webpage at http://whatever might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.
  • Firefox: The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

Some sites work, some don't. All work via VPN.

In Topic: Thinking About A Move To Chiang Rai - Your Thoughts On My Situation Please

I live in Chiang Rai, and I develop, host and manage lots of websites. Getting your own, private ADSL connection at a hotel or guesthouse would not be possible, but probably easy with a rental apartment or house.

Though I've missed it for the last 5 years thanks to travel, the haze/smoke season is truly evil, and it's a wonderful time to be elsewhere.

Obviously cheap fruit and vegetables are available everywhere (it's Thailand!), though finding organic and/or safe® pesticide treated produce is considerably more challenging...but possible. We buy organic lettuce from Kawporn Hydroponics in Mae Chan, whatever is in season from home farmers (who don't spray poisons) from our local market, and Royal Project produce from Makro.

I think there is yoga in the city, and endless hiking and biking outside the city.

In Topic: How Do You Guys Make A Living?

I'm a web developer, with clients primarily in the US.

Friends who actually earn money in Thailand are few and far between, though I know a restaurant owner, a few teachers, and a guy who bought land/built houses and rents them (in Chiang Mai).

In Topic: Aircon Servicing For A Pickup

2011-01-24 11:30:14

My wife's brother owns an aircon service shop. It's located at saam yak Fang Min which is the second light after the bridge heading north out of Chiang Rai city. The shop is on the left, right after the light (next to the parking lot for the morning market). We'll tell them if a farang driving an Isuzu shows up to give him a fair price...!
