Ham and Egger - 6 days till I leave as well. Fuckin psyched.

Nice, where abouts and for how long?

Let us know how ya go mate!
Landing in Bangkok on the 22nd. Gonna check out pattaya, ayuatha and maybe angor wat. Then up to Chang Mai for Loy kratong. Will have to head back to take finals early December.

Make SURE you're at Mae Jo university in Chiang Mai the evening of November 30th. It's absolutely amazing. Bring a camera.

I would try and get there around 5 and try and find a place to park.

Man thanks so much. This is exactly the kind of info Ive been looking for.

No worries. If you have any specific questions about Chiang Mai or the north, let me know. Lots of good restaurant recos for CM...

BrunoMcGyver 114 Member Since: 5/8/11 Posts: 5165	^ please give some restaurant recommendations in Chiang Mai. I'd prefer genuine Thai places on the cheap side (under 100 baht a meal if such places exist). If you know of any awesome non-Thai places though, I'd be keen as well. Do you recommend seeing any places in the north besides CM, Pai and Mae Hong Son? You have ignored this user.

Okay, some of this info will be dated, but:

For cheap and centrally located, I would eat breakfast/lunch at Silom Joy right inside Thapae gate whenever I spent the night in town. It was 40B for Pad Grapow gap Khai Dow (Basil chicken with fried egg on top). Get a shake for additional 15B. The place is usually filled with backpackers, but they haven't compromised on the dishes to suit them.
Location: http://www.mapjack.com/?ZTZyUcXeac9C

For my favourite "authentic" Pad Grapow, the taxi stand across from the Four Seasons on Samoeng Road (just north of Chiang Mai on the way to Mae Rim) was fantastic. Not a word of English spoken, so make sure you can order comfortably in Thai. Maybe they have an English menu now? Keep heading down the road (Samoeng Road) a bit for a Wawee coffee that is beautifully located overlooking a rice paddy.

Galae restaurant overlooks a reservoir in the mountains at the end of Suthep road. Not cheap (or expensive by Western standards), but picturesque and popular wit Hi-So.

https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=galae,+chiang+mai,+thailand&hl=en&ll=18.793167,98.946605&spn=0.008379,0.013937&sll=18.9293,98.938247&sspn=0.002103,0.003484&t=h&hq=galae,&hnear=Chiang+Mai,+Thailand&z=17

I will try for more things later. Google Maps is new for the area, and kind of blowing my mind right now. Amazing how thorough it is...

I really liked it, actually trained at Legacy for a bit. Ole Laursen is a good trainer and the head coach(can't remember his name) was absolutely amazing, real genius at MT.
Ubon was just really laid back and chill, I think I would've enjoyed it more if I spoke more That but as another poster above mentioned the Isaaan people are really down to earth and chilled out.

Nice. Would love to go over while I'm there. It's a bit far from the north but hopefully I can make a few months of it and see a lot of it.

Hope to make it to BKK for a couple days. If I do I'm offering to buy ya a drink or 6.

Same offer goes to any of you who'll be in T/Land at that time.
