A Lan Na Life at Moment & Wine August 2026

Image
  It's vlog time again and here I am trying to tie up  my August (yes I know it is half way through September already) before I start shooting my trip to Phitsanulok for the boat races. If you follow my channel you may have noticed I like wine. Fortunately in Chiang Mai theres a smashing little place called MOMENT & WINE on the Tha Pae road where I can enjoy a glass or more. This is one such drop in occasions and I got to taste a potential now addition to the wine list. For info I am not affiliated or paid by Moment & Wine (or any of the places I review) and by the way the wine I was invited to taste the vines had been grown on volcanic slopes

 Another month slips away and even in rainy season there are opportunities to get out and about. A month to enjoy walks, scenery, life, food and drink. And oh, in case my praise for the places I visit makes you think they pay me to sing loudly about them... I wish😁

A Lan Na Life Sun Setting at the Iron Bridge

 Fingers crossed for a rain free walk I set out to try and decide which, if any between the Narawat  and Iron bridges would make a good sunset timelapse. I opted for the Iron bridge it being as my friend Charlie Farley says, quite possible the most photographed in Chiang Mai and where I though the least obstructed view would be. At this time of year the setting angle is not at its best and there was not much tone in the sky as the sun slid from view. All good practice though.

 I finally put together my last Chicken set at Spices Indian Restaurant Chiang Mai-ร้านอาหารอินเดียเชียงใหม่ before the revamp that sees their wonderful in house service go and the dishes being moved to take away. Sorry to see this place stop the wonderful meals in the establishment.

 Just a quick look; There are so many good places to eat in Chiang Mai, many so very good I forget to photo or video it until it is all over. Which happened here. So I did a quick phone sweep of the buffet to tempt your tastebuds

 A month ago we returned back to Chiang Mai from Viet Nam after a most enjoyable time. The last time? Well breakfast and flights, so if you dare not in to aircraft vide this isn't for you, maybe. But give it a try and  a like anyway. Who got the plugs ++plus bits? Air Asia, great flight Tony the boss of Air Asia for the message And even some memories of my younger days when airline owner like  Freddie Laker and Branson of Virgin used to care about customers, Air Asia is up there with them and they are affordable.
