  1. Hi!  My girlfriend's birthday is the 12th...which coincides with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.  Last year for her birthday I took her out to see shooting stars for the first time in her life.  That was in southern France.  She now expects shooting stars for her birthday every year.  We are looking at traveling out of Bangkok next week to a destination within Thailand where the likelihood of reasonably clear sky at night is higher.  I realize this time of year having a clear sky might be a challenge. 

     

    Right now I'm thinking the best spot would be the mountains to the west of Chiang Mai.  What other areas should I be considering?  I was thinking maybe Kanchanaburi or perhaps Koh Chang or Koh Phangnan?  Is there anywhere in Thailand this time of year where the night sky is more clear than not?

     

    I understand this is very much weather dependent and the factors of the monsoon season can have a big impact.  We have the ability to wait until last minute to check the near-term weather forecast.

     

    Thanks for any advice or suggestions. 

  2. One of the Yamaha dealers has a few bikes on display in the lobby of Big C Ladprao over the weekend.  I stopped and chatted with one of the girls...she wasn't able to give me too much info on the Xmax 300 other than 168,000 baht and 3 months lead time.   I asked if they had a dealer model for me to test ride...that's where I lost her.  Anyone know of a Yamaha dealer in the Bangkok area that has one I can take for a spin?
