16 oktober Chiang mai, great place to do nothingWhat shall we do today?(yesterday)
A semi regular cafe customer recently remarked on a common question from friends back 'home', "so, what do you do all day in Chiang Mai?" We agreed that often the answer is that you are busy doing nothing.
Chiang Mai is a place where you can be as busy as you like or a wonderfully relaxing place to do nothing.
after running around market shopping, booking flights, etc., Boon and I decided to take some time out to do Nothing.
so we went to one of our favourite places for a quiet sit with a coffee, Kad Suan Kao, Central Shopping Plaza.
In the centre of the Plaza is a grassed openair haven and next to tyhe 1st floor exit to this haven is a food and drink stall where we got ice coffee for 15 baht each and went out to sit at a table on the terrace overlooking the grassed area.
We had our usual bickering session on the way;
'wear your helmet'
'dont put it on now, pull over first'
and when we arrived
'I want a Riubics cube'
"did you bring any money?'
'i need a notebook for my website work'
'i've got loads of notebooks at home'
'but we're not at home now are we.'
So Ive got my notebook, which i used immediately to jot this down on, and Boon has just got back from a fruitless second hand book search, to tell me that i smoke too much...of course hes right. 09 oktober Preparing for the familyQuite excited at the moment. Good that I've got things to be excited about, as the political situation here, added to regular quiet season, means business is not so good right now. Reasons to be excited...well the new look on www.travel-and-life-in-thailand.co.uk for a start. Many thanks to my good friend Ally for her hard work wading through my very disorganized site files. i've been working on photo files to assist in the reconstruction...work that will no doubt several days as im so prolific with the camera. And then theres the family visit. Mother, sister Theresa, Niece Joanne and Jos 2 children are due to land in Bangkok on the 22 nd and will be here for 3 weeks. Been chatting to Mum on webcam quite abit sorting Plans. got the promise of a good deal on a CRV hire for a week whilst they are here so me and Somboon can take them on special tours. Somboon, by the way has been working, for some months now, at Relax and Enjoy, a mthai Massage shop in the Night Bazaar road. And if you are reading this and considering a visit, please be aware that Chiang Mai has no problem so come on over and enjoy Thailand. 07 oktober Sorry for being out of touchwow...long time
i had some major problems with my computer.....well actually they weren't so major but for a computer ignoramus like me......
anyway....back online proper now and with assistance.
If you are visiting www.travel-and-life-in-thailand.co.uk please be aware that the site is under reconstruction. this is being done live and theres alot to do so please bare with us.
The business has been doing well enough. Past our first year now and quite happy with leading up to the next high season. will do my best to keep everything much more up to date. |
