maps.app.goo.gl/82wrwMHjZ97p6j6X8 I bought the bicycle here and he ordered the 750w mid-drive to install. Total cost which includes the bicycle, and the 750 mid-drive and best battery was about 50,000 baht.

Other than online (like Lazada) I do not know of any CM store that sells "ready made" electric bicycles. There is a shop that sells you a bicycle and then installs a Bafang motor onto the bicycle, this is how I got mine.

@@AbuShenab what would be the approximate price to covert my normal bicycle to electric

I see on Lazada that a Bafang 750 mid-drive motor (which is what I have) goes for about 17,000 baht. A premium battery would probably also be close to this amount. (a 750 watt motor is a lot of motor and if you just want to go around the town a smaller size would be adequate). Add a few thousand baht for the labor to install it.

@@AbuShenab is it safe to buy from Lazada. I mean quality

How are the Japanese used ones like Panasonic and Yamaha brands. Would you recommend buying a second hand

Bicycles you can rent anywhere. But shops that rent electric bicycles I have not yet seen.

@@AbuShenab Thanks

Yes

Why did you leave?

@@ChiangMaiRetired completed the work and my kids graduate from school there and returned to US.

Not this particular Rimping. BUT there IS an even nicer (imho) Rimping within a 5 minute ride from the Rimping Condos. (Rimping supermarket is actually a hiso grocery chain in the Chiang Mai area with 6 or 7 stores).

Oh I see, thank you

Thank you!! Happy New Year!!

Yes!! I think next year I will travel to Sukhothai. A beautiful city like Chiang Mai.

ประเวณียี่เป็ง หรือประเพณีเดือนยี่ เป็นประเพณีเก่าแก่ของล้านนาที่ถือปฏิบัติกันมาตั้งแต่พุทธศตวรรษที่ ๑๔ ส่วนสุโขทัย เป็นประเพณีเผาเทียน เล่นไฟ ไหมครับ ต่อมาพัฒนาเป็นประเพณี ลอยกระทง เข้าใจว่าคนละประเพณีกัน

Mountain Coffee. I will try them some morning. Thanks.

Thank you. As for the sausage - it is definately one of the top sausages I have had. Until I eat more of it - I am reluctant to say it is the best as I will feel like such a traitor to the sausage I have been touting for years. (But I suspect this Warorot sausage just MAY end up being my favorite also!! No wonder so many people had told me to try it. It definately IS amazing!!)

@@AbuShenab Good to hear. We’ll convert you fully soon. It’s only a matter of time.

@@georgef3936 5555555!!!!!

I am not sure (you may be right as to what it is). I generally just go into a market and just point to what I want to try that day - and after many years I am still finding new things to point at and try. Thailand is one of those places where EVERYTHING seems to be delicious!! There are a few things - like the sausages where I have learned the names of the various types. The flavors here are AMAZING!!

It was in the morning - HOWEVER for the past 2 or 3 years the traffic here has been NOWHERE near what it was pre-covid. No tour buses, VERY light traffic for the past 2.5 years. This has made a lot of us very spoiled!!! But - in the past several months I can see the traffic getting back to pre-covid levels. It was "nice" while it lasted!! The Chinese are still not allowed to travel - but once the Chinese Government allows them to travel (I hear before the end of this year) the traffic will shoot up exponentially and the huge tour buses full of Chinese will return to the small CM streets.
