A look at floatation therapy

A book lover’s haven, a quiet place for reflection – Payap University Library’s Archives are an unexpected delight

Sometimes it’s not just the product which draws us into a shop, but the actual design and display of the shop itself, which attracts us. Here are a few we really enjoyed this month.

With over 700 sois in the municipal area alone, this is a labyrinth well worth diving into, because there is a wealth of hidden gems to be found…if you can (or cheat and use GPS, we won’t tell).

This is a great spot for teenagers who enjoy playing different board games all day and having a chill weekend break from studying. This game haunt also offers a small selection of video games which you can play with your friends.

As the only English-language FM-frequency radio station in northern Thailand, Happy Radio fills a unique and growing niche in Thailand’s media scene. It reaches a diverse audience and its programming reflects that. That’s also a formidable challenge.

Sometimes it’s hard to remember to take a pause and step aside the whirligig of life. Take a day off, do something to indulge your nostalgia or go and blow off some steam/cash!

The healing massage presented by The Imperial Mae Ping promises to caress away your weariness. There are a variety of treatments available to soothe each individual, giving the ultimate experience at a cost effective price.

Celebrity Ink is becoming a well-known name across Chiang Mai, following its success in Phuket and opening around the world.

When deciding to get a tattoo, the first thing you put your mind to is the design. Do you go for a Japanese style snake tattoo on your leg or settle with a simple, but classic tattoo of an elephant to remind you if your time in Thailand? Whatever your style, the most important thing is going into any tattoo shop with a clear idea of what you want – even if it is to get some advice! There are several other important things you should be aware of before jumping straight in; things that often get forgotten in all the excitement.

To those who flirt between the beach and the mountains, Celebrity Ink™ maybe a name you have already heard of. With an outstanding fan base locally and overseas, this unique tattoo studio has, over the last decade, developed its name and its reputation as being one of Thailand’s most professional and artistic tattoo studio you can visit.

Citylife has moved offices! We are no longer Wat Gaters, but Meechokers and the first order of business, as it would be for any self-respecting Thai, was to check out the neighbourhood for places to eat. We now have a townhouse in Fifth Avenue just across the road from Meechok Plaza, and have decided to share our findings of exciting businesses that have caught our eyes with you all — cafes, restaurants, schools and more. If you ever pay any of these places a visit, feel free to pop in and see us, pick up a mag or just say hi!

TEDx Chiang Mai, held this past Saturday at Le Meridien hotel, was a resounding success. With 1,200 attendees, this was by far the largest TEDx Chiang Mai has held. Through AIS’s Line service, there were nearly 900,000 views, with over 3,600 people watching the event on live stream, and the event attracted more than 30% of its visitors from outside Chiang Mai, mainly from Bangkok, making this a truly national event.

There I was, stuck in a gas station, zombies banging at the door and only a pile of garbage and a small knife to determine my fate. The atmosphere is tense and tentative. One false move and I’ll lose the last bag of medical supplies that I desperately need to get back to camp. I roll…I get bitten and I die. The medical supplies are lost; a harsh blow to our remaining zombie apocalypse survivors. I pass the dice to the right, bringing my disastrous turn to an end. I order a coffee, take a breather, and begin to hatch a new plan for my only surviving character, vowing to make up for my poor choices that left me dying in a pool of zombie blood.

I strap on my helmet and adjust the microphone before stepping into the tiny aircraft. It’s early in the morning but the day is just starting to heat up, and my pilot, Prayote Chaimongkol, who also happens to be the owner and builder of the Microlight plane we’ll be flying in, says we’d better get a move on before the air gets too hot and the ride gets choppy. I feel a strange, zen-like calm as I strap on my seatbelt and plug in my mic. I have faith in this flying machine…and plus, the wings look big enough to carry us down at least semi-gently should anything go wrong.
