Good day people!
I'm new to this forum, this is my 1st post. My name is Jay, 24 years old, Chinese, and I'm a civil servant for Singapore. Hope I don't get busted out here for being a Yellow. Haha
I have been to Thailand twice, for the past 2 years. I've been to Bangkok and Phuket. Traveling there has made me fell head over heels with the kingdom . So much so that I have decided to retire in my late years in future. Singapore is just wayyyyy too stressful to retire there.
Coming this April 2013, will be my 3rd visit to the Kingdom. I'll be heading to Chiang Mai. I heard that Chiang Mai host the most fun and crazy Songkran. As a vivid lover of Thailand, I wana experience the craziness of Songkran in Chiang Mai personally. I'll be going with another Indian friend as well. We do not have any Thai friends to show us around
We hope to receive some tips from you guys here, about the experience of Songkran, retail hours during Songkran, entertainment/ shopping outlet during Songkran. I wish to know if most of the shops of Chiang Mai will be closed for how many days as I will be staying for a week. I wanna make full use of my stay there, not forgetting the nightspots as well.
Hopefully we can make some Thai friends and of course, you expats as well. See you at Songkran 2013 at Chiang Mai!
