Thanks for the memories

The best mode of public transport

Looking for badminton

Editor:

I’m surprised that in the sports pages there is no mention of any badminton clubs or meetings. If any readers know of any social badminton clubs that meet regularly then I would really appreciate knowing. My email address is csmith@csmith.info
Many thanks,
Chris Smith, Mooban Naifan, Chiangmai

(Editor’s note: And when you find them, Chris, we would be happy to publish regular small features in our Sports section.)


Thanks for the memories

The Editor,
To all our friends - Nicole and I would like to thank all of our dear friends for the support and friendship you have given us in the past three years. We will miss you all, and northern Thailand, very much, but we know that we will be back to visit soon.

Warmest regards,
Eric Rubin

The best mode of public transport

Editor;
As I read everybody’s complaints regarding the red minibuses, let me also add something, but for a change something positive.

I’m really happy with the number 10 bus line which runs from Kwan Wiang Village to the city and back again and I’m really thankful that this option of mass transport is available.

It’s much better than those red taxis. I’m 15 years old and I really depend on public transportation to get around the city. It really helps me to get around town or to friends’ houses.

I can easily get to Central Airport Plaza, Worarot Market and the Night Bazaar. With its rate of 10 baht for wherever you’d like to go, it’s very cheap for me as I don’t get much money to spend on those tuk-tuks which sometimes completely overcharge foreigners.

It is also very comfortable to ride in the bus because of the big seats and the air conditioning. The only downside is that I sometimes have to wait over half an hour to actually be able to get on one.

But other than that it’s the best mode of public transport. It really helps me.
