Chiang Mai - How about a Fish Massage with That Pasta?

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members Because of the relaxed zoning and business regulations in most Thailand cities, you can see businesses popping up faster than pimples on a teenager. But you have to get there quick because they can disappear just as fast. But you never know what businesses you might find and some might surprise you.

Poll -- Americans Feel They Will Have to Work Until 80 Years Old!

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members A Wells Fargo Poll came out Nov. 18th, 2011 saying some unbelievable statistics about retirement. My jaw dropped when I read this poll's results. This is totally unacceptable. Listen to what I think about these statistics.

Sit Back and Enjoy Loy Krathong Chiang Mai 2011

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members Two of the biggest festivals in Thailand are Songkran and Loy Krathong. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are two of the places in Thailand that these celebrations really are taken seriously. Seriously fun, that is!
As the full moon of the twelfth lunar month (usually in mid-November) lights up the night sky, throughout the Thai kingdom, hundreds of thousands of ornately-decorated krathong or traditional banana leaf floats are set adrift in rivers and waterways in a spell-binding ritual called "Loy Krathong" - the 'festival of lights". This is one of the Kingdom's oldest and best-preserved traditions.
The Loy Krathong tradition we know of today has evolved from the royal rituals of the early Rattanakosin period in which several types of lanterns were set afloat in the Chao Phraya River and its waterways. Sit back and enjoy Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai.
