The Cheeva Spa Review – Chiang Mai, Thailand Author: admin Dec 19

The Cheeva Spa has been in Chiang Mai, Thailand for quite a few years. Six months ago they relocated to a new, bigger, and more luxurious site. The new facility includes a lovely garden and separate buildings with treatment rooms. I reviewed the Cheeva on July 10, 2010.

The entire experience went nicely. I was greeted by a lovely receptionist who was eager to answer questions and provide the service I desired. My first activity was to choose a treatment. I selected a Hot Oil Massage for one hour. The Cheeva uses a jojoba oil base for massage. Jojoba is my preferred oil both when receiving and when giving a massage. It is in fact an ester rather than an oil. As such it will never become rancid. It also has an excellent glide quality for massage. Jojoba is also very close chemically to human sebum. This makes it an excellent hair and skin moisturizer and rejuvenator.

Thailand

The Cheeva begins its treatments with a floral milk foot bath. This is followed by a short salt scrub for the feet. I was then taken to one of the adjacent buildings with a large treatment room. There were two massage tables and a rather large bath tub. It seems all the decor and equipment is new.

The woman doing the massage was named Daeng, and she said she had been doing massage for six years. Her was massage was really good. Tempo and rhythm are important qualities in any good massage and hers was right on. Her pressure was also just right, occasionally getting close to my upper limits of comfort but never exceeding it.

Following the massage I was given some warm ginger tea while I basked in my pleasant state of relaxation.

The prices at Cheeva are quite reasonable, this one hour treatment is usually 900 THB (around USD). However, currently they have a special 20% off all treatments. Call ahead to confirm this in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, I received a good massage at a good price.

The Cheeva Spa is conveniently located closet to the center of town and I recommend it.

Transportation in Chiang Mai, Thailand Author: admin Aug 05

Chiang Mai, the busy roads, and get caught in traffic can be a frustrating and tiring. I've seen the tourist literature emphasize the quality of the city quiet, and although many of these places (especially outside of Chiang Mai) are present, you will not find on its highways. This article attempts to describe the types of available transport capacity in Chiang Mai, the best way to move and the pros and cons of different ways, with staffAnecdotes included.

I. Public Transport

Thailand

a. Metered taxi

A misnomer, as the taxi drivers do not move your feet – especially not in the experience of my companion and me! As a non-Thai, you must come to an agreement with the driver before getting in, that foreigners regularly overcharged. Every time we turned on the meter has been asked, we said it was broken. Do not hesitate to walk in search of another cab, if you feel you should have heard. There are manyaround, and maybe even the taxi driver back and give you a decent price. Finally, we have begun to price in two, cutting and negotiate from there. Does not always work, but at least we are not completely green.

The first and only time we have successfully captured a taxi with a meter was at the airport of Chiang Mai, where he arrived from Bangkok. Make sure to go one of two official taxi counters in the arrivals hall, where it passesThe tickets are in fact unmarked cars outside at least for unwary travelers are not licensed. The 30 minute ride into town costs 60 baht to us, than the standard 50-baht airport tax (payable at the airport).

b. Tuk-tuk

Tuk-tuks are a fun and unique must-have for every new in Thailand. However, I would not recommend it at regular intervals, as they are too high and passengers are to be mentioned at the mercy of car exhaust fumes, not the occasional heavy smoke in the late spring and summer, when farmersland and the burning bush to encourage new growth. Blessed motorcycle (three wheels and handlebars), are quite expensive when you Songthaews (see below) were compared. Only suitable for short trips foreigners pay more than the obvious. An elevator, just hail a tuk-tuk down and enter the destination. Remember that most of the tuk-tuk drivers speak little English.

c. Pedicab

Presented by older men and very agile, pedicabs slow but scenic tour through the historic center offers,especially in the ditch. Prices are negotiable. A descendant of rickshaws, are not as numerous as they once were, but not least-are still there. A stop a lift.

d. Truck (songthaew)

Songthaews (literally "two banks"), while traveling in buses on selected routes. They stop, tell the driver your destination, and he will tell you that if he hop in that direction. Fast, efficient and economical, to take another SongthaewsPassengers on the road. She is a good way to get, unlike tuk-tuks, taxis, not overloaded with work: it is a flat 20 baht per person when you are out on the town (look for the red Songthaews) when traveling out of town , the trucks are yellow, and of course cost more.

e. Bus and rail

The public transport in Chiang Mai is unusual in that it is not a bus. In addition, there are no trains, subways or elevated rail, as inBangkok.

NB If you do not speak Thai, a way to get to your destination is to the driver carries a business card to present the address and map of your destination. However, it must be in Thai, because not all drivers speak English or read.

We have stories of riders pretend to change anytime soon to pay back and not feel the difference. This has never been our experience, but it seems important to remember. So make sure you have a lot of 20-bahtReferences to you at any time.

II transport for hire

Chiang Mai has many lenders to choose from, both for cars, motorcycles or scooters. Whatever your vehicle if you decide to go for it make sure that the license and international driver's license with you at all times. Take a picture of your property to make sure you do not pay are not responsible for damage. You must also leave your passport as security. Please noteYou must return the vehicle, if you work with a visa (unless you have a second passport, of course, have – in this case, make sure that the ID is in the hands of the landlord is not, as with the Thai !).

a. scooters and motorcycles

Scooters and motorcycles are one of the best ways to get to Chiang Mai, is above all the traffic overload on the right. However, you probably need to drive with the Thai, which is "flexible", to say the least.Compulsory third violation is included in the price of a motorcycle, but there is no liability insurance for damage to vehicles. To limit an additional 50 baht per day costs associated with losses related to your rental. There are special rates for rental daily / weekly and monthly, but do not hesitate to negotiate a better deal. You can have a 110cc scooter for 150 baht a day (with additional insurance, 100 Bath without). A 125 is a better choice if you are as a couple on a motorcycle,and even some companies rent large wheels. I would recommend an automatic, a manual, since it is easier dealt with on the road.

Once you have made your choice, make sure that the scooter / bike thoroughly before you go (in particular light and brakes) and ask them to put on a test (check out the steering wheel) to take. Always wear a helmet (usually for free, fit and check that there are of good quality). Most of the accidents involved motorcyclists here, and I said the bike uglyIncidents in the Thai language media reports, but not in English-language newspapers. I can not imagine why, if to avoid a collapse in the rental bikes. Helmets are mandatory, despite the fact that few Thais wearing. The penalty for driving without one is 200 baht (the cost of a new helmet!), Even though it seems, are rarely applied.

There is a lot of rental places along Moon Muang Road (east side of the trench).

b. Cars

To rent a car, the best thing to gobest be maintained at an authorized dealer (Avis / Budget, etc.) as the vehicle in the theory. You also get full coverage insurance (but check the fine print, be aware that Visa cards usually cover accident damage) and tend to be a viable alternative in case of failure to the car for any reason. Although less practical in heavy traffic, there is no doubt that the protection of cars, comfort (especially on long trips) and … Equipped with air conditioning!

Renting a car or four wheel drive, youback about 700 to a thousand different baht per day, and mini-bus a little 'more. Rent per month offers a better deal (do not hesitate to bargain hard) and online services offer the best price of all.

You can also rent a car with driver. The daily cost is about 1,750 baht and 2,000 baht for a car for a mini-bus (this is not the spirit). After 5:00, the price is about 100 baht per hour. They are also necessary for the driver's meals and accommodation in the payFor overnight trips. It is worth noting, however, that we walk around Chiang Mai, where we were mentioned by a taxi driver who offered us his car and his services as a pilot for a daily fee of 650 baht.

c. Bicycles

They are available everywhere, but especially in tourist areas of the old town (accommodation, travel agencies, lodgings, etc..) Usually cost between 150-200 baht per day. I personally would not rent one in town forever (evendangerous), but they are comfortable and quite magical in a quieter part of Chiang Mai. Helmets do not seem obligatory, but it's a good idea to wear one.

Finally, Chiang Mai has many forms of transport. What do you prefer to rely on your age and experience, but you should be able to provide a method of locomotion that suits you. Please do not approach foreigners for their experiences. Remember, in my opinion the most important thingsare safety and, where appropriate, negotiate hard for a better price.

Chiang Mai, Yesterday and Today Author: admin Jul 27

Perhaps you've heard of Chiang Mai, the unofficial capital of northern Thailand. Even if it is cooler than elsewhere on the Thai levels during hot weather beets on a ridge of high mountains cool, cool enough to grow really, apples and strawberries.

It would be unfair to say that Chiang Mai has been destroyed, although this will happen when you're developing at the pace it still is. And this is the key to development. It seems so ruined many of my favorite places in the world. It is not only the buildings, which change with development, it is the people. The world has become more and more people, but we do not have much spirit.

By the way, there is a greaterConcentration of temples in Chiang Mai, as elsewhere in Thailand. Twenty years ago, it was very obvious, because there were few tall buildings to block it. Thus, the wall (Chiang Mai is a real wall of the walled city against the invasion of the ancient world), now the largest, Bangkok is overwhelmed style paths outside of him. The other things that this city was made the most beautiful of all structures in teak. Many of these have been replaced by concrete. What has happened?

Twenty yearsFirst of Chiang Mai has been a semi-rural, sleepy town of 100,000 souls. Outside its walls, was a landscape. People are friendly, relaxed and curious. Chiang Mai is still very fun and very interesting, but the past is over. It retains some of those rustic roots, but Chiang Mai is undoubtedly a vibrant metropolis and Asian.

Sustainable agriculture and organic farming in northern Thailand, Mae Tha, Chiang Mai Author: admin Apr 27

Sustainable agriculture and organic farming is an alternative to live life to preserve a culture and protect nature in Northern Thailand.

EK-ii-AEK-aekkk … the Thai language call of the roosters woke me from my warm, comfortable mattress. I can look at the sun filtering through the walls and under the wooden door. I feel cold, white mist in the morning to help the highlands of Thailand, when walking to my host mother is preparing to sell vegetables.

Thailand

"Theyseem sleepy. Why don’t you go back to your bed and sleep longer?”, Mae Ratri asked gently. Mae in this instance means ‘mother’ and is the way to address ones host mother; for about 2 weeks I was very blessed to have Mae Ratri Kruengngern’s as my surrogate mother. Mae Ratri and her family are a rural farming family in Mae Tha, an idyllic green village in Northern Thailand. I was part of a group of university students studying sustainable agriculture and as inviting as the offer of extra sleep played, I was more excited to continue with another day of learning.

Mae Tha is a small village of Mae-On sub-district of Chiang Mai, surrounded by mountains on the border with the province of Lamphun. The majority of the population speaks the dialect "Yong" or the Thai language.

Mae Tha inhabitants earn their living by growing rice and vegetables, using local organic and sustainable practices.

Phat Phat and Mr. Por, in light blue cotton shirt, wearing traditionalstyle pants and flip-flop, one of the country's leader, who first introduced organic farming and sustainable for people living in Mae Tha.

The process of transforming organizations to the Mae Tha conversion to organic chemistry has been effective, there was good cooperation from villagers in the community.

"I would say that is because our families have a long and affectionate. Our past generations living here. We are all related and that the strong support of the community"Por Phat proud. Most people will venture in the morning, their farms, but if it is a harvest time, they like to help others go from court to court.

The most impressive thing about farming and living in Mae Tha is to learn to give and receive. You will always ask for help when you need it, and perpetual state of giving, if you believe that help one another. This is the circle and the infinite beauty of support, the people of Mae Tha brought byDeceased and to give through the generations. Every Wednesday and Sunday Mae Ratri and wake a group of villagers 2-3 Clock, all green vegetables, fresh and chemical-free organic farming places in Chiang Mai is ready to sell – the market and JJ NHong Hoi market.

The organic food sales areas by the Institute for Sustainable Development farming communities or ISAC, an organization created to build and support sustainable rural communities in Chiang Mai purposes. L 'Sun shines brighter than it's time for a big truck coming to pick up the production and sales people for a ride on the market.

Mr. Weerapon Thamkhun, one said the members of the ISAC: "High domestic consumption is our first concern." He added: "The goal of the organic market, the products of natural processes using non-chemical fertilizers and pesticides, including processing and marketing to promote." The number of organic food consumption is increasingconcern because of increasing attention to health and sustainability in agriculture.

The smiling faces of people who come and buy brands of organic vegetables produced in the market assessment as healthy, safe food and reasonable price. The growing demand and appreciation for quality is the challenge that the community of organic farming and sustainable readily accepted. Mrs. Wannapa Tachai, a range of organic foods, said: "Organic farming is the greatest idea for consumers andFarmers. We both have a clean and safe food for our health. "

Mae Ratri Wannapa turned to his wife and nodded to her. "It seems to us, for both farmers and consumers, friends. A reasonable price for good quality fresh vegetables are paid, while their diet even healthier." Mae Ratri added that he felt like you're doing some kind of merit. While the villagers and food safety of organic products for the consumer, not the creation of potentially harmfulChemicals.

The sunlight is stronger and takes his position at the top of our head shows that it is time for lunch and go home. We are all gathered around and had lunch together. Sharing food is a common cause of Mae Ratri and their friends, because it shows the simple ratio of persons in and near Mae Tha. After dinner, people are ready to go home and prepare for work in their farms. We planted, placed, watered, weeds pulled by hand and dug the ground. The work wasgrueling, but every drop of sweat is rewarded in return, if the vegetables are grown.

Because in winter, broccoli, cauliflower, and many types of green winter vegetables can be grown. So we grab a shovel and began to plow the new ground for them. The sun still shines bright and brings clarity and humidity, but the cool breeze helps to mitigate the heat. So, we keep the farm.

Time passed, the sound of the birds return to their nests was a sign that it was timeto finish the job. We went home and cleaned us. I found that although the work was grueling in the company and both of my palms raw and bruised, brought freshness and joy for me.

"I feel happy because I know that my sweat to the cultivation of healthy and safe, the knowledge has led to the kindness of my clients," Mae Ratri words have many times in my head. Organic farming is not only their family to provide food for healthy living, but also extends the perspective to recognize theRule of nature. The more to protect the company with nature through natural methods, as long as nature remains with them.

"We only have one chance to live our lives. Sufficiently healthy and happy life are far more important than making money and getting rich through fraud and benefit take-action," said Mae Ratri. I think these are strong words of wisdom of generations of people around the country and respect the values ​​of strong communities learned.
