November 20, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

Excellent service and unbelievable prices – although there might be some IP issues with some of the perfume oil naming.

Thailish Buddhist sayings, Chinese language varieties, and English as a ‘contact language’ in the Far East

November 20, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

The ISO meetings and conference I attended (The 5th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing – IJCNLP2011) were all in English. My ISO colleagues […]

Short back and sides, and a shave please: A visit to a traditional barber’s in Chiang Mai Thailand

November 15, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

In the evening we walked past a barber’s shop, and as there was only one person in the chair and no queue it seemed like fate. I had a haircut and a shave. The shave was with an open razor, with disposable blades, and rice milk lotion.  Strangely the shave was not total or ‘clean […]

Driving an Oxen Cart at Maetang Elephant Park Chiang Mai Thailand

November 14, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

I was lucky enough to be allowed to drive an Oxen Cart at Maetang Elephant Park Chiang Mai Thailand. Just after we’d completed an elephant ride through rain forest jungle, and before I spent sometime in a tiger enclosure, itself after taking a bamboo raft down a tranquil Thai river.

Meeting Tigers at Tiger Kingdom, Maer-rim, Chiang-Mai, Thailand

November 14, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

During a visit to the Tiger Kingdom, Maer-rim, Chiang-Mai, Thailand, I was able to stroke and walk with tigers. You might find some of Tiger Kingdom’s Trip Advisor reviews and comments from volunteers on the Tiger Kingdom website helpful when deciding if you want to visit, especially if you have issues about using wild animals for profit […]
