Australian Honorary Consul Chiangmai; My Life in Thailand
Australian Consulate for Northern Thailand – Ronald J (Ron) Elliott, Honorary Consul
About my Thai life activities, travels and experiences as I retreat Tranquil in Thailand
Over the past months of July and August 2018 retirement life in Thailand has been engaging. We took a couple of weeks off from work & life in Chiang Mai and during that time we travelled south to Bangkok, took in the resort town of Hua Hin for a beach break. The rest of the time has been spent keeping busy around Chiang Mai.
Yes, everyday life and living tranqui in Thailand is either fun or boring, busy or relaxed. Much like everywhere else in the world - just with a different culture to frame it.
Living tranquil in Chiang Mai - March and April 2018 have come and gone at an amazing pace. In this post I talk about surviving the burning season, getting out and about, spending time around home, medical matters and being busy.
Living Tranquil in Thailand - This month of March marks our 4 year anniversary in Chiang Mai - where has the time gone? I am still creating bi-monthly posts to share a little perspective on our retirement living in Chiang Mai.
Living Tranquil in Thailand is a lifestyle blog of an expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I usually post every couple of months on experiences in Chiang Mai but lately it has been a challenge to complete a blog so this one covers September to December 2017 living tranquil Thailand.
We headed out on the Thailand roads again - this time our destination was to Mae Hong Son province in the northwest part of the country. We had visitors staying with us and it was an opportunity to explore this part of Thailand we had not visited.
Its been awhile since we got out on the open road and steered our wheels to explore some new territory and Thailand experiences. This chronicles our journey in the highlands of Chiang Rai and through the Provinces of Nan and Phaeo.
Sitting on my pergola at the back of our house in Chiang Mai my memory drifts back to the days when retreating from the everyday working grind in Australia to a tropical place in Thailand was our vision. So what is life like now we have been living in Chiang Mai for over 3 years?
Talk about time travel living in Chiangmai - that is what May and June months have seemed like.
It has been awhile since I have shared Chiang Mai living updates on my blog so thought it was to write a little about our April happenings.
The colourful and intriguing festival of Poy Sang Long is essentially Thai Yai and means "ordaining the beloved sons" and worthwhile to experience if you are in Chiang Mai this time of year.
Would you believe that it has been 3 years since packing up a life in Australia and moving to live in Chiang Mai Thailand? Here is what we've been up to in the past few weeks.
Krisdadoi is a legendary country-style resort situated in the charming countryside on the road to Samoeng, outside of Chiang Mai city, now home to Flora Creek Resort and was a lovely place to visit.
So its been another week of living Tranquil in Chiang Mai, Thailand so I thought maybe a post on the week that was might be a good idea.
With house guests on this special valentines day we made our way to San Kamphaeng Hot Springs and later to Narittaya Resort for dinner.
Our journey was a Thailand road trip through Isaan, Petchabun to home to Chiang Mai.
A road trip to Laos PDR was planned as I was in need of a new Thai visa for my role
Dance Motion USA was visiting Chiang Mai and an invitation to a performance was accepted.
To celebrate my formal appointment as Australian Honorary Consul we decided to head to Mix North Hill golf course restaurant.
It was time for another visit to Bangkok; the 24 hour city, usually steamy, frantic and energetic.
