Forest fires happen some parts of year, with authorities doing their bit. Not resident in CNX, but frequent visitor past 3 years. And I have not been smogged (lucky?) :p..interested to retire to Chiang Mai at some time. However, I hear the forest smoke can be pretty bad...thoughts?
Kind of interested to retire to Chiang Mai at some time. However, I hear the forest smoke can be pretty bad.
Any Singaporean living there now care to share their thoughts ?
Chanced on this from Nation, on quaint Kwan Riam floating market off Bkk. Eons ago, I did touristy thingy with the most popular floating market (forgot name), left with impression that the brochures glossed over it. But this deserves a re-look. Liked the old fashioned kopi tin-cans, beats the damned plastic holders anytime :p

Thanks Joetys for the detailed explanation, I will be sure to dig up your old post for more details. Are you living in CM now ? Is there lots of Singaporeans livning there as well ?
All this while, past 10 years frequent travels to LOS on work (and pleasure:p), I've yet to cast my shadow on famed Chatuchak market ...so you did better...some less-visited-by-tourist place of interest? personally for me, i am sick and tired of going to POI like chatuchak market (btw, i only been there twice), ..and silom market (the one with lots of agogo bars).
Psst, in my cherry trip to krungthep 10 years back ...stayed at ex Hilton (now Nai Lert Park, SwissHotel) off Wireless. There was this shrine (some link to Mae Nak?) with big phallic thing and tree in grounds/car park ..popular with ladies possibly for fertility? Or punish wayward hubbies?Hocus pocus bro?
I like street food. I have some combination of these most days.
Clockwise from top left:
Yam Naem, which you wrap in green leaves (bai cha pu). Kind of a sour, spicy salad
Moo and Kai ping. Grilled satay.
Khao Niao. Sticky rice sold in plastic bags
Moo (or in this case Nuea) Dat Deow. Marinated sun-dried meat, deep-fried. You can order them really nuked or as Thais say, "kob kob"
Sad to go home
