International Schools Brace for Online Learning

Next week, international schools should be welcoming students back from their Songkran break. There should be talk of fun activities, exciting holidays, and (hopefully) of happiness to be returning to school with their teachers and friends. Parents should be relieved at the prospect of being able to send their children away for the day, getting back to their own busy lives, knowing that their chil … Continued

Essential Tips on Traveling to Chiang Mai with Your Dogs

Watching the world burn

French photographer Alex de Blonay is a Chiang Mai resident who is embarking on a portrait series to reflect on these extraordinary times. “I wanted to do something around the fire and it was interesting to do it this way to represent the literal and figurative fire outside everyone’s window right now,” said de Blonay. “While here in Chiang Mai our fire is literal, we are all touched by it in some … Continued

A quickie Q&A with the Breathe Council’s Sakda Darawan

It must be frustrating for the Chiang Mai Breathe Council, formed late last year, to be facing such an extraordinarily horrific year of burning this year. Let’s find out where they are at and how they are working to mitigate, if not solve, this problem. Citylife: What was different about this year? Sakda: It took a while, but we finally established a few years ago that the main cause of air pollut … Continued

A Tale of Two Reactions

This week, Chiang Mai Governor Charoenrit Sanguansat issued an order that will prevent the sale of alcohol for 10 days, from April 10th to April 20th, and perhaps beyond. The reasoning for this decision is of course related to the ongoing spread of COVID-19. The idea is to introduce measures that will prevent social gatherings, and thus attempt to curtail any growth of the virus. I think, perhaps, … Continued

Breathing fire: Chiang Mai Breathe Council excoriates minister

Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Warawut Silpa-archa visited Chiang Mai along with Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan to look into the air pollution and forest fire crisis earlier this week.

Chiang Mai’s food Samaritans

We are all hurting. But like all crises, some people rise to the occasion. Citylife thought that it would be an important thing to highlight some of the restaurants and businesses in town who must be feeling the pinch as severely as the rest of us, but who are still going out of their way to give to those even less fortunate than themselves. Since the social distancing decree has led to a societal … Continued

On the other side of Doi Suthep on the 1269 road there is a fire station servicing the area from the Canal Road in Hang Dong all the way to Samoeng.

Anticipating the worst is bringing out the best: Chiang Mai foreign community is ready

As the city was heading home to begin our self-quarantines on a quiet Friday two weeks ago, a group of foreign nationals met up under the giant rain tree at the Chiengmai Gymkhana Club. Under discussion was a support system for the tens of thousands of expatriates living here, many of whom are vulnerable and may need support during these COVID-19 days. It was initiated by Ben Svasti, Honorary Brit … Continued

Cut through the red tape with Thailand Elite

Living in Thailand as a foreigner, like anywhere else in the world, comes with its own set of challenges and of course, benefits. While today the world is undergoing the most extraordinarily unchartered changes, this leaves most of us uncertain about our status and future especially if you are a foreign national living in a foreign land. Message boards and phone lines across the nation are cloggin … Continued

An afternoon drive up Doi Suthep

After being housebound for 11 days, my parents, my puppy, and admittedly me, were getting restless. So today we decided to pile into our car and take a drive up the mountain to see what was going on with the fires we have been seeing for weeks. While the lower slopes of Doi Suthep was dangerously dry, we must admit that we didn’t see any evidence of burning. And being on a family trip with aged pa … Continued

A letter was sent out to the media this week from the Elephant Nature Park, quoting owner Lek Chailert, who says she has been visiting many elephant parks across Chiang Mai where she saw that, “Elephants have been chained up since the tourists stopped coming.

Doi Suthep burning bright: What’s being done? Why is it happening? And yes, there is a solution

Our days are spent in seclusion; those with air-purifiers can shelter indoors from the worst of the particles and those without must worry about the future of their lungs, as the mountains next to the city burn. Massive fires are raging across the Doi Suthep-Pui mountain ranges, with one fire near Huay Tung Tao estimated to have decimated over 2000 rai of land. The largest fire at this time, howev … Continued

The Life in the Red: Lockdown in Italy

It’s 1am and the tv is showing the latest decree from the Prime Minister: Lombardia is now a red zone and nobody without special permission can move in or out of the area.

Accept, adapt, advertise & amplify: how to ensure your business’s survival

I read a post this week from Todd Hermann, author of the business success book Alter Ego, who had some interesting stats on US CEOs he had interviewed about their response to covid-19. He saw some startling differences in the way they spoke and he used their word choices to categorise them into three groups; fear focussed, un-focussed and strategy focussed. The strategy focussed group were way mor … Continued

It’s not poverty. It’s a virus. It knows no boundaries, needs no passport, asks no personal questions, answers no surveys, dresses in no particular fashion, and hides in plain sight. It’s the Coronavirus. I call it … Continued
