Would one have to be sick to stay there?

Probably, as it's the most expensive in town.

True, but the advantage is in having western trained and/or registered doctors in attendance there.

Scary deals....I remember Pinatubo in 1991 well - was my first earthquake. Made an impression.

**Merrimack** · 06-05-2014, 02:01 PM

The world has been shaking lately, maybe Pinatubo will awaken again.

**Davis Knowlton** · 06-05-2014, 02:03 PM

^Hope not...but at least I'm living 60 miles further away from it now.

I would almost fake an illness to stay there...No kidding...It is a great hospital...

A decent aftershock was felt in CM around 10 pm last night.

More than 100 reported so far.

I'm getting accustomed to being rocked to sleep now.

Just got the news that a newly built (by my Thai family) 3 storey guest house in Chiang Rai has developed a crack in one outer pillar, near the roof,.....so

RETRO-ENGINEER!!...at a cost!

Gotta look at the sub-soil density again, so GPR seems the cheapest option so far.

**palexxxx** · 07-05-2014, 09:16 AM

GPR ??

**ENT** · 07-05-2014, 09:21 AM

Ground Penetrating Radar.

A lightweight one-man model,

A larger, earlier version, cumbersome, taking two people to operate.
Depending on size/power, they can scan down to hundreds of feet, revealing strata or objects of differing densities, location defined by speed of ping back, which also reveals surrounding sub-soil density.

Just for those who can't spot where the road subsided.
