Its been a long time coming but at long last we’ve over come the hurdles that were preventing us updating the site. Not only that but due to assistance from our good friend Ally the whole site is much improved and easier to use.
This gives me,(john), new enthusiasm to create a “one stop information post” for all those thinking of visiting Chiang Mai, so keep looking in as the new look site grows.
We decided to reconstruct live so some previous postings have yet to re appear.
For those of you that have already visited our humble abode and have been hoping to spot yourself on our facebook, it will be back up and up-to-date very soon.
Upcoming events;…..bit short notice but tomorrow is Pa Ya Nak festival time in Nong Khai, where you can witness the Dancing Fireballs that spring from the Mekon River defying explanation. Having witnessed the phenomena two years ago I highly recommend this event for a visit if possible.
Otherwise, start preparing for Loi Kratong, this year around 8,9,10 of November. I will get an exact dating on that over the next couple of days. for details of the event check our Loi Kratong feature
Another more immediate event, is Aok Punsaa. This markes the end of the rainy season when Buddhist Monks are once again allowed to roam freely from their Temples, their movements having been restricted for the last three months due to ancient law made to protect the rice fields.
If you are up early enough you will see many locals on the streets giving to Monks on their Alms rounds.
This Blog will now be updated daily, with any useful information that comes to hand and very likely useless trivia too boot.
My big message at the moment is, that despite apparent political turmoil, and threats of War over border disputes with Cambodia, Life goes on as normal here in Chiang Mai, so don’t let the news put you off coming.
