Not wanting waste time looking for food so went to Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh which I know is open. Have eaten there before and found the BKT is not bad although not the best.
It is normal for food joints to charge more for the same food during CNY period however it is not so nice to charge more yet give less and this is what I found today
Twenty Dollars for this, the portion is definitely smaller from the recent past but at least the food taste the same.

Sinkie real estate interests in Chiangmai?
Sinkie real estate interests in Chiangmai?
Unfazed Singaporean investors still flocking to Chiang Mai
Published: 3 Feb 2014 at 00.00
CHIANG MAI - Despite the political turmoil, Singaporean investors will continue property development in Chiang Mai due to
growth driven by airport expansion, a new convention centre and Asean integration.

Matthew Lin, managing director of Chiang Mai-based property developer Summit Global Developments, said the company and
a group of Singaporean investors will launch three new projects worth a combined 1.2 billion baht in the province this month.
"We are not worried much about who will take [political] power because everything, which was on-and-off many years ago, is
already here like the airport expansion and international convention centre," he said.
There are also many shopping malls in the northern province including Central Festival, Promenada and the recently opened
Maya. The high-speed train is a must-do project for the new government.
The new projects will include Floral Parc Residences with three blocks of seven-storey buildings worth 300 million baht each,
near the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek.
Each block will have 65 or 70 units sized 40 and 80 square metres and be priced at 2.1 and 6 million baht, with the first phase
being launched on Wednesday.
Rooms@CMU, a condominium near Chiang Mai University, will comprise 148 units worth 300 million baht.
The Consulate Residences worth 600 million baht in Mae Rim will have 12 villas priced 25 million baht, offering a walk-in safe
that can be turned into a panic room.
All projects are a joint venture between Thai partners who are landowners and a group of Singaporean investors, managed by
Mr Lin. The Singaporean group holds 20% in the Floral Parc project, 30% in Rooms@CMU and 60% in The Consulate.
Its target return on investment is 30% in two years, said Mr Lin, also CEO of Kingsfield-Asia Consultants Group, a property
consultancy for design and investment.
Two years ago Mr Lin came to Chiang Mai with two Singaporean investors to develop residential projects. The number of
Singaporean investors joining him rose to more than 20. Each invests 3-5 million baht a project.
"Many Singaporeans are cautious. They will let others pioneer and follow them when they see success," he said. "That's why
we build a panic room in a single house project for safety reason for Singaporean buyers."
However, Singaporeans been actively buying property in Chiang Mai during the political unrest as prices are below those in
Singapore and the weak baht presents an ideal opportunity.
While Singaporean buyers are large by value, Chinese and Taiwanese are large by volume, he said.
To expand the Chinese market, the company a few months ago bought a 33% stake in Mandarin-language mini free travel
guidebook 'Check In Now', adding a property column to the guidebook.
The company is also in talk with a SET-listed developer to jointly develop a medical complex east of Chiang Mai near Bangkok
Hospital Chiang Mai, which is due to be completed sometime this year.
With a 2-billion-baht investment budget, the project will comprise a medical centre, retail space, hotel and condominium units
targeting investors who will lease back as serviced apartments for patients and their relatives.

He's not sweating this. In an obscene way, he stuffs his face with indian food onboard. Even enjoys cosplay in his saris, around the proverbial coconut tree. And fave destination is Mumbai. Never without his favourite tipple, toddy (his cognac is only a red herring distraction). :p Oops, better scram. before he nukes me. Would like to think he no small gas :o

Another day another morning at the street market
Was talking to the lady at her pork leg rice shop about the cost of her rental to my surprise she told me it's free as long as they ask police permission. She explained this soi has a police station just 100m from her and also consists of line 12 blocks of flats for policemen and their family so the market is actually beneficial to the residents there so no rent. Cool ya.
This is she
bought 3 packs for my security guards - not bad ya?
