Anybody live or visit here recently can advise what to do and what to avoid ?

In the city (within the moat) you might want to visit a few wats, some of them are quite nice.
- Wat Phra Sing
- Wat Pa Tao
- Wat Chedi Luang
Sunday Walking Market on, err, Sunday. Ratchadamnoen Rd, that's the road into CM from Thae Phae gate.
Rent a motorbike and visit Doi Suthep, avoid the Hmong village, that's a tourist trap, imo.
Visit the highest mountain of Thailand, Doi Inthanon, about 70 km from CM, nice and cool and a very nice drive. Don't expect much of a view, as it's usualle clouded & misty up there, but well worth the trip. When we visited in March we did so in a rented car, Toyota Vios, 1200 baht.
Enjoy!

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
