FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Hello everyone... It's February, and last weekend was the 4th weekend in a row with a club event. I'm sure we can all use a break. Our club events are behind us for a while, but right around the corner is one of the biggest festivals of the year, especially here in Chiang Mai,
the always spectacular Chinese New Year. Decorations are already popping up all over town, this is definitely one event that's a feast for the eyes. The official day is February 17th, but the festival continues to March 3rd, with no end of things to see and do. It centers around the Worowot Market and the Thapae Gate, starting on the 17th with the big parade from Thapae Gate to the market. If you can only do one thing, viewing this parade should be at the top of
your list. Of course there's also all the daily pageantry, enchanting costumes and ceremonies. and don't forget the delicious street food or pass up the chance to visit the some of the truly beautiful Chinese temples. This is a fun one folks, make your plans now and take in as much of it as you possibly can. Happy Valentine's Day, and please be safe. -Kent |
NEXT EXPAT CONNECTION - MARCH 28 DUANGTAWAN HOTEL - 3RD FLOOR 9:45 - 10:30 - Coffee/Tea/Snacks/Sponsors 10:30 - 12:00 Meeting The next Expat Connection will be Saturday, March 28, at the Duangtawan Hotel. Peter Bell is putting the final touches on the program, more details will be coming soon. One thing we know for sure is Thomas Carden, who was originally scheduled to speak to us last November but had to postpone, will be one of our featured speakers. Thomas has expertly guided us through the
confusion about the income tax plan the Thai government announced 2 years ago, and his advice has turned out to be right on the money (no pun intended...OK, maybe a little). It's time for an update, don't miss it! Tickets will go on sale the end of February, keep an eye out here.
