  1. I recently took the opportunity to visit Chiang Rai for a few days, a city of about 200,000 serving the Golden Triangle region of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. It was my first visit to the city and I found this experience much more relaxed than Chiang Mai, and not overrun with Chinese tourists. Prices are also lower than other Thailand tourist destinations. The Ping River I particularly enjoyed the religious diversity Local cuisine was excellent, especially the Khao Soi, a red curry with boiled egg noodles topped with crispy noodles and added chicken breast. I enjoyed the meal with some evening entertainment. I also had to try one of the riverside restaurants for prawns in glass noodles and some long island iced teas. ACCOMMODATION I stayed at the Le Meridien resort on the Ping River Some Thais lived next door NEXT: ATTRACTIONS
  2. Try the Reuben, best I've had in Thailand, if you can tolerate sauerkraut on your sandwich
  3. I've had a taxi driver take me from Bangkok, then refuse to take his taxi on the ferry. It was a scam and I deducted 300 baht from his fee. He wasn't very happy about it, and neither was I.
  4. 8th Annual Bangkok Motorbike Festival at CentralWorld
  5. Here's a shot I took this afternoon
  6. I wondered about this place as they always seemed to have lots of customers.
  7. I go to MK Restaurant when I want dim sum, roast duck, or wonton soup but I don't care for chicken feet. https://www.mkrestaurant.com/en/menu Here's a review from Evil Penevil http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/61547-mk-restaurant-central-festival/
  8. The way to defeat ISIL is with positive role models, they are too young to remember Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.
  9. The show ends Sunday, expected to draw 1.5 million visitors this year and sales are 30% higher. A new car tax will come into effect next year that will tax based on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions instead of engine capacity which is driving sales.
  10. Here are a couple more I snapped at the show today
  11. I've seen her at the Auto Show for Index helmets, maybe a good thing to wear with drones around.
  12. This years Photo Fair at BITEC, camera drones, 50 megapixel dSLRs, mirrorless cameras, Thai Penthouse models Drones were everywhere I took a break for a bite in the cafeteria. Delicious Khao Soi, usually only found up north The starship Enterprise hovered above while the Thai Penthouse models took the stage You could tell which side they were used to by how they held the camera.
  13. I can't get past the first page. I get a message about required fields when I have an entry in all fields. They have code at the keystroke level rather than waiting for you to submit the form, which is why the performance is so bad. Simple data entry forms like this are easy to implement, these guys are totally clueless.
  14. As Cronkite used to say, "And that's the way it is'
  15. There's lots of great art in Pattaya http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/57878-beer-bar-sign-art/
  16. Asian Sports Network (ASN) broadcast the early games at 1:00 AM. I asked the bartender to change the channel. Some Russians were watching snooker but their protests fell on deaf ears because nobody understood them. BTW, Thai girls love the Pack and will spread for beast mode.
  17. How about the bikini girl's butt? All the models were at Mixx Disco later.
  18. There was a separate track at Royal Garden Plaza featuring more casual attire
  19. I lived in a nicer room with a better view on the 26th floor for 800 baht per night.
  20. This event was held the last week of July. Here are some shots from CentralFestival, note Niles Colov dozing off in the first row. Drummers provided the entertainment They spent nearly an hour handing out certificates to 'dignitaries', I nearly left but stuck around for hot women in funky clothes.
