Electrical Infrastructure Work in Chiang-Rai Thailand

Here is a crude video of Thai Electric technicians climbing up the poles to rearrange the wiring for a new road. There must of been at least 20 on the poles all at the same time down the street! Sorry for the quality of the video...

Google Adsense & Internet Connectivity in developing countries...plus, iPhone clones for sale.

Adsense by google was yanked over the weekend. It's not like it was making tons of money anyways. No wonder quite a few people don't use it. It's cool, will just use someone else. I remember when google was just a tiny little search engine back in its infancy. It sure has turned into a strange creature, just like ebay...

Been having internet connectivity problems due to major construction in my hood. It really is developing around here! Stay tuned for a video documenting the construction of a major artery from the Chiang-Rai airport to the downtown area.

Got really nice iPhone clone phones for sale. $159.99 & $19.99 S&H. Please inquire within. Let's have a great week from Chiang-Rai!

Summertime Weather Hits Chiang-Rai!

Today was definitely the hottest day of the year so far. With highs in the high 90s and lows in the 70s, it sure is pleasant...

Still no reply from the Revver.com people about their video approvals for the wedding video I took, and still no luck loading on to the Blogger site. I'll try again...

An Apology For Not Posting the Wedding Vid and The Effects of Construction and Progress

We're so sorry about the wedding video everyone, but I tried maybe a half dozen times to blogger.com's server and I'm still waiting on approval on the vid from Revver.com. What is up?! I think it may be my internet...now let's admit that Thailand is not the greatest for internet, however, it's really not that bad. In all frankness, it's actually all the construction for the new downtown to airport bridge and road! All of it is just right next door to where we live and the bridge itself will land next to the house my wife grew up in!!

Now if you think I'm excited about this...well...I am! To an extent..

It's somewhat of a dichotomy as the bridge will bring a significant increase of traffic to my neighborhood. But, an increase in traffic equates to business opportunities...I don't know...I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Stay tuned as I bring you a video of the construction and how they are doing it Northern Thai style!

Going to a Chiang-Rai Wedding...

Good day world! It is a good day because the weather is so nice(you can check our weather on the link to the right), and today the wife and I are going to a western style wedding. I'm sure the weddings here are a lot mellower then back in the States. I personally am not a big fan of weddings. I've been to something like three weddings in my life and to me they seem to be quite unusual. A bunch of people getting together to observe 2 other people join together in holy matrimony...whatever. As long as there's free food and drinks!!

I am going to try to take some video and make it interesting for all of you who are interested in how they do things over here as far as weddings goes...stay tuned!

New Chiang-Rai Le Meridien Resort Opening in September 2008

The Royal Meridien Group and Starwood are going to open a beautiful new 160 room Le Meridien resort nestled next to the Rimkok river. Now I know what they're building down the street from where I live! This resort will be sure to liven things up a little around here, and most certainly, it will increase the stature of Chiang-Rai of being probably one of the most resort laden areas in the world - They are literally everywhere around here! From all price ranges too...so, if you want to relax, Chiang-Rai is the place to be!
