So this goodview restaurant is next to riverside? Any suggestion how to get there? Can get taxi?
We are also thinking of going to Mountain Float(http://www.mountainfloat.net) but is quite expensive. Anyone been there? worth going?
Thank you.

1) Do Grab or Uber (no hassles with haggling or communication with taxi tuks2)
2) Do book in advance, especially fri-weekends. Crowded then, as popular with locals with Q for walk-ins (got turned away before).
You may wish to get a table next to river (away from the crowded indoor with live music). And do try the platter with northern sausages with variety of dips.
Not been to Mountain Float, it's some river/country style resort some 50kms away and doesn't sound cheap either.
Would advise you to catch up on below informative links for Chiang Mai attractions. And skip Doi Ithanon, just the highest peak -nothing special.

And if you got time, try the cooking classes
Walk around the old city (Tapae Gate), and do the Warorot Market (weekends) which opens from 4pm. The Warorot market beats the over-rated night bazaar anytime, with plenty of interesting stuff (it's 2km long)
The Goodview restaurant is very accessible, within city limits and just across the Ping river. As advised earlier:

Buying second hand bikes in Pattaya is like playing Russian roulette. Really heng suay. The biggest one is Mityon ( have many branches in Pattaya). They mainly sell new bikes but some outlets do have second handbikes from trade in by customers.
There are two shops in soi Gor Pai selling second hand bikes. You can try taking a look.
My advice is dont get second hand bike unless you have mechanic background or have a mechanic friend. Price of first hand scooter slightly over 40K baht only. For bike ownership transfer, i think only need copies of passport and certificate of residence( obtained from immigration dept. 300 baht per copy)
My advice is temporary rent a bike first (2k per month) and have a “feel” of riding a motorsai in Pattaya. Some gave up after riding one or two days. No joke. Pattaya is really cowboy town when it comes driving and riding a vehicle.
Edit:
Add gmap second hand motorsai shop in Soi Gor Pai

Yes, I did Uber in CNX last year 100%. Just got to bear with a bit longer waiting times at some places (unlike Sg). Good experience, friendly service and even get milf
drivers too. No, I'm not in CNX now so can't give you a live quote. But if you are thinking of going to Doi Suthep, there's a more affordable option. Get a red bus (songtaew) and negotiate return trip (if yours is just looksee). Driver will wait for you (pay him 50% only) for return. Did this with a turbo charged one (good for climbing the hilly slopes), for thb400. This was a couple of years back, do perhaps now thb500-600 return? There are also quite a no. songtaews hanging about at Doi Suthep, business what
lunch dinner should be “gin len”
Street Language lesson (words you will never get to learn in formal classroom. Not even your tirak, gik, faen or therapist will teach you)
Anyword with Prefix of “Ai” for male and “E” for female means the chinese “Ah” is quite offending. For example, Ai Wan means Ah Pui for male and E Wan for female. Its the chinesr equivalent for “Ah”. For example, we say Ah Siao to means crazy person. Siam kias have male and female version. Male we will used “Ai Baa” and female we will used E “Baa”
Ai and E are normally used among close friends or when looking for fight.
Some vulgar words you get to her every day is
Ai Hia ( means Sia Lan kia or 4 leg snake)
Ai Sat ( means beast)
E Dork/E dork tong (means whore)
Ai and E can also be used with closed friends.
Take note that in Issan language, Ai also means Pi (means elder/older brother). In Thai, Pi is generic which can means either elder brother or elder sister. In Issan, there is a difference, Ai means elder brother or husband. Will talk about Issan elder sister next round.

Wow! this pic damm steam sial.
See laew feel like going 7 get a bottle of ”Chiwat” Siam kias call chivas regal “chi wat”.
Just did an experiment. Frozen prawns right from the fridge, steamed, taste better than those defrozed much earlier. (Only apply to steaming, will try boiling and frying when have time and money. Kns. U all think prawns cheap meh?
Last evening dinner, 2 big bowls of kuay tiow ruea (10 baht each) plus a packet of deep fried pork skin. Total =30 baht. See how "big" the bowl is compared to my gay phone 7 +.

You are very lucky this is the sort of shit I have to eat on a daily basis.
Your Soi Gor Pai sibei deep in, no motorbike cannot go in. If I can go in, no need to buy motorbike liao o_Oo_O
I have ridden motorsai in Pattaya, but never along the main road except up and down Thappraya. One main reasons to ride is to avoid the Soi dogs as I have been bitten before.
The hotel staff was nice and came out to nurse my injury, and even got the driver to fetch me to a nearby clinic for jabs. Ever since then, they offered me free motorsai rental whenever I stayed in the hotel.

I did a Uber search using my phone in SGP, from Doi Suthep to Imperial Mae Ping. UberX costs 490 baht.
I did another one, from hotel in Makkasan, Petchaburi MRT station to Thappraya in Pattaya, nabeh more expensive than ordinary taxi - 2,486 baht.
I wonder why his private therapist who follows him to makan big feasts round the globe never put on weight.Froggy's lost for words on his lunch/dinner. We got distracted by his yum dessert (or was it his main course?)
All in the name of therapy, with more than just food for the body :p

Uber is not geared for inter-city commute (unless you got a separate arrangement). Just like one Uber guy in Sg cutting deals to drive tourists to Malacca for circa S$300-400 (1 way).
Regular taxi Krungthep to Patts is circa thb1500 (+tolls). As posted previously, private limo is thb1k (ex Swampy) or thb1200-1300 from downtown Bkk -including tolls. Return is cheaper for both taxi and limo (thb900 to Swampy). PT Taxi based in Patts (2nd road?), can call, Line, Whatsapp, email. Used it for some years now.
