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!

Our Featured Video for Today

The entering an Akha Hill-tribe Village vidoe above was shot by a friend who recently made the 3 day trek to visit the Akha hill-tribe people and 3 other tribes.

The hill-tribe people in The Golden Triangle are the hillbillies of Asia, there has been tremendous interest by outsiders with these people over the years. From governments to religious missionaries to outright zealots...these people live a very simple lifestyle, produce incredible handicrafts and provide the majority of the farming for the area.

You can see a solar panel hooked-up to a hut. Now that's cool...

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!

Here we are going into the end of February and the weather is outright weird. A little cool and a little wet. A cold wet to be more exact. Effects of global warming?

Bizarre Weather Hits Chiang-Rai!

The 2007-2008 winter has been abnormal to say the least. With warmer then average low temperatures for this time of year. Going into the last week of January has experienced further strange weather with rain! The area is not known for having rain this time of year. June through November, sure it rains...but January?! Luckily, it isn't that cold or the area could experience snow! I actually like this weather, it reminds me of winter in Northern California.
