A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[Froggy]

wah! i just had kopi o and you jia kueh at market. :P~ what a hearty breakfast for u!

Its for two person la.

That small canopy thing is referred to as a Gazebo.

The eggs sunny side up appears to be expertly done.

However, it should not be hot dogs for breakfast, but probably sausages.

Ok Gazebo, sounds funny, not like English more like italian. This hotel/resort is pretty old but nicely decorated very old style. It's actually in the middle of the city so very convenient. In Thailand resorts like this is normally inexpensive as they are simple. Simple not only in deco but also service. However these hotels always have a homely feeling so its warm and nice. I believe you've seen the video of the room that I posted. Costs only US$100 per night. Their simple delux room for two is actually only like US$35 per night.

My work in Thailand rakes me mostly to NE or what they call Isaan area and Central Thailand which is around Bangkok. Northern Thailand is a place that I seldom come so I don't know much about this place. But just these two days made me fall in love with this place because the weather is nice and surrounding Chiang Mai are beautiful mountains. Yesterday drove to Doi Suthep which is only 1hr drive from centre of the city and today to Mon Cham 1.5hrs. Take a look at Mon Cham here

The view is ffantastic

Villages selling fresh fruits and vegetables

Little huts for lunch.

Sat in one of those huts over looking at the mountain range for a simple lunch full of fresh local produce

Coming back to that special dish. I've actually posted this before with a fish dish but this is all vege. This is how it's eaten.

Most organic veggies come from chiangmai.

I looked at flight prices after January and they didn't look that high. Around 2k each way is normal. Cheap would be 1k.
Hotels also were not that expensive but filling out fast. Of course, this was to CEI and not CNX. CNX much more popular with Thai market because there's not a goddam thing to do in CEI. If one were to go to Mae Sai, you've got to choose between easy or cheap. Easy (taxi) is not cheap and cheap (rot tu) is not easy.

Fortunately not that cold this year.

Good morning tony. Yes tony, that's what the villagers told me too. On my way up Mon Cham (Mon Jam) yesterday I see one organic farm after another. Here's one right up there in the highest part of Mon Cham
