Edmond walks around Chiang Mai. For a little bit.

[Edmond]

Nice and colourful, as always.

[cyrille]

They're not monk's robes.

They are 'off cuts' and ribbons.

[Edmond]

Finally got to the junction with the 121 and the intended target a 100 or so mets later.





Coming along quite nicely and in talks about the corner one.







real wood would be nicer, but definitely enough work to see Bendy-Mendy kept busy for at least 1 of his 10 months off per year.





Whoever chose these lights should of course be executed on the spot.


Was gonna be a return journey, but was a bit toasty to be honest so took up me broker's offer of a lift back. Through a sneaky little local road and onto the Super without need for a traffic light. So far so likey.

Won't be the last time I'm wrong now to be honest.

That Avenue is indeed splendid, know it well reminds me of Roman Rds where trees were planted by one generation to help the next, to be encouraged.

What price such shophouse 2-3-4 million the C Mai prices higher than here for similar floor area , I guess land/demand higher?

[reinvented]

Yes, it's definitely one of my favourite roads, and one of my earliest memories of CM. Arrived here in 2001 with a local lass I was dating in Australia, and we came here for 3 weeks on her uni break. Her dad didn't seem to take to me, for some reason.

Anyway, I remember riding along this amazing, quaint winding road with these majestic 50 meter tall trees all along both sides, and all the sounds and sights and smells of grilled chicken stands etc etc.

What price such shophouse

Hopefully less than in 30 years time when there's a city rail station 100 meters away that is on 2 separate lines. One which will possibly just keep on going up into China and connect to a government building in Beijing.

Cheers, have never been there. Looks nice.

Will take a stroll or motorbike ride over there in the next week or so. Not far from the river, no doubt there'll be a riverside resto for a bite to eat or smoothie along the way, cheers.

[david44]

smoothie along the way

Your C Mai nickname I presume?

[Edmond]

Well, I've been known to add a nice smiley compliment or two when handing over an iced mocha fratta latte.

[Salsa dancer]

Your C Mai nickname I presume?

Mint smoothie = Smooth Minty

better than Mao's dropping I guess ( say it out loud)

any gps coordinates to go with these pics Ed? Asking for a friend

[Edmond]

Sure, about 50 meters past Saraphi Technical College mate.

Coming along nicely, should be damn easy to rent out, you interested? Will I fit extra wide doors?

[dirk diggler]

I see the builders are already shittling all over the intended toilet floor.

[Edmond]

^ Actually I just really needed to go.

Given that Saraphi was a lake last month, does it come with an inflatable and outboard?

[Edmond]

^ Shhhhhh, I'm not convinced BLD can swim.


But yeah, that stretch of road didn't get hit.

Oh you fooker I see what you done there. You cheeky barsteward. and yes of course I can swim. Why do you think I take beach holidays and post about them. Sure hope your not gonna hire goons to turn up with a set of scales and a tape measure. Have you got my coordinates? Pathetic.

[david44]

PS are you Knight Crawler on the LINE app I keep getting ads for middle aged swingers seshes?

[Edmond]

Have you got my coordinates?

I remember deleting your driving license when you accidentally posted up a massive photo of it while absolutely bladdered, but didn't note down the details of it first, no.

That was the one I got on khaosan but good on you for deleting it I wouldn't want to be arrested for a fake I.d was that when you had mod buttons?

[BLD]

So you do have my coordinates

[BLD]

With all the nics you've had it's actually pretty impressive that you can remember minute( spelling) details after 20 odd years of trolling. Do you keep a dossier? One day they make a documentary of your life. Any suggestions what it could be called. Netflix beckons
