Nikki321 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Does anyone know of anywhere decent to rent in the city? Would be for about 6 months while we have our house built. A house or apartment would be fine, ideally with some kitchen facilities. Not more than 15000 a month, preferably less! Thanks for any suggestions (have not have any luck in the internet so far!)

villagefarang Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 A quick TV search gives these topics and more. Have a look and hopefully a fellow renter will offer some words of wisdom that are more up to date.

dindong Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 You should try out the nice new website started by a former member here. Mostly local chiang Rai stuff on it. chiangraities or something like that is the name . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 So maybe that is why visiting our sleepy little sub forum is like a visit to the morgue these days. Those who can string together more than three words have broken away and started something new rather than fixing the old. Interesting happenings in Chiang Rai. While I am at it what is it with all the “Lurkers” at the bottom of the page? There seems to be a rather large number of readers who peruse these pages on a daily basis but who never have anything to contribute. Asking questions is only part of the equation. Somebody needs to contribute answers as well. It is also nice just to share something you like or dislike about Chiang Rai from time to time. If you don’t have any questions why not just say hello.

mikekim1219 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I will also need a place to rent. From reading and following advice on this forum, the choice seems to be limited. My budget is about 7000 baht per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against the in laws but it is alway nice to have your own place so you can run your household to your own liking. Good luck with the build once that starts.

jubby Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Don't forget the Hash this saturday Nikki321. I believe we will have access to a swimming pool after the Walk in a recently built property (trying to keep it on topic) should be a nice afternoon out. a big cross section of Society too. Several of the regulars rent properties and have recently built houses so can give you some tips. We maybe subject to a farang or two wearing Speedo's , but thats just about the worse that can happen at our Family friendly Hash Both VF and Sceadugenda have been known to attend although very infrequently, and ofcourse they are always welcome Oh and your Mother-in-Law is welcome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubby Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Says Me ! ...... It would be nice (quite a Talking point) to see you at the Hash. your always welcome .

villagefarang Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 As I have surely stated before, the Hash and the Potluck are great networking venues for new folks. Even if you only go once or twice it will give you a better idea of who is out and about. Both venues have a relatively small core, so once you have attended, there is not much reason to continue unless you actually enjoy the activity itself. Exchange phone numbers with those you would like to know better and leave it at that. I have made a few longterm friends through the Hash but they tend to have a love/hate relationship with the Hash at best. Once you hit a critical mass of acquaintances in Chiang Rai, it becomes much easier as you meet friends of friends and things progress naturally. With the advent of Central Plaza or what I like to refer to as the Mall, meeting people has gotten much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubby Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) interesting observation as usual VF, but one I don't share which I'm sure will come as a great surprise. I don't go to the hash as much as I would like, but when I do there are always people I haven't met before. I'm not very approachable unlike yourself and I'm not actually looking for new friends when I go there which will seem illogical to a Vulcan like yourself, just a few laughs with old friends and dare I say a bit of excercise. The Kids do enjoy meeting other Kids though. there are some genuinely nice people who attend. You mentioned Central, is that you VF at central thrusting Business cards into people's hands or are you more subtle with your attempt to reach critical mass ?

villagefarang Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 All my thrusting is limited to one exclusive venue, beg your pardon. I feel the Hash and Potluck are better suited to townies who would like to get out and see the countryside and do something they might not otherwise do. For me it is more convenient to partake of the hiking and mountain biking trails that begin at my own front door. No need for a drive of more than 150 km and returning home after dark. As for people mistaking Scorpio for me, it would take at least two of him to make one of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have two long running threads that cover these two topics. The Potluck thread even has pictures. Hash House Harriers pictures are only to be found on their Chiang Rai website.
