This morning I left Chiang Mai International Airport bound for Bangkok, and tomorrow morning I will be on the plane again for Hat Yai and headed for the beach.
It was a great stay in Chiang Mai and I will definitely be visiting again in the future. In many ways the last day in town [...]
Ok, it’s another morning in Chiang Mai and time to give everyone the update.
I walked up Ratchadamnoen Road through the Thapae Gate last night and headed downtown. Although Chiang Mai has grown a lot since 1983, most of the growth has been in the suburbs, and the downtown (apart from the riverfront) looks much [...]
It’s just turning to evening here in Chiang Mai and I’ve completed my tour of Doi Suthep — it was a good and bad day.
Originally, I had planned to hike up Doi Suthep, just as my classmates and I had done in 1983, it’s the traditional initiation rite to Chiang Mai University and it [...]
It’s now morning of day two in Chiang Mai and the tour of town has already been great.
After checking into the 3-Sis Guesthouse and getting myself fed and cleaned up yesterday, I headed over to the CMU campus for a walk down memory lane. Some things have changed, some things haven’t now you [...]
It’s morning now, and Lampang has disappeared into Lamphun as we cross the Thai countryside. The seats around me have filled with a few German backpackers, as we stopped during the night in Mae Something and Nakhon Nowhere.
We’ll be pulling into Chiang Mai within the next half hour or so, and I’ll start taking [...]
It’s almost 8:00 pm on my second day in the 25 year anniversary Thai party and I’m on the overnight express train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok.
Back in 1983 this train ride was the start of a new section of our trip through Asia. After travelling through Japan, Hong Kong, China, and Bangkok, and [...]
It’s been a year since my last trip to Thailand, and things have changed. Last year, I left in the middle of an economic boom and a natural disaster (the biggest blizzards to hit China in a century). The airports were heaving with masses of frenzied travellers. Desperate to get on the planes, but no [...]
We’ve finished another week here at RightSite, and besides completing our performance appraisals, we also seem to have figured out our trixbox-based phone system.
After looking into various equipment options, we’ve made some decisions and ordered some gear, and since I think everyone should be running trixbox (or some other software-based pabx [...]
This is maybe the only metric that we don’t use in RightSite’s performance appraisal
It’s January, so not only are we suffering from chilly toes here at RightSite, but we are struggling through our semi-annual performance appraisals for staff.
Actually, I shouldn’t complain. Although administering the performance appraisal process is a pain for [...]
There are a lot of “I’s” in RightSite, but that doesn’t mean we are not all about team. And since building our team and managing our staff effectively is out top priority at RightSite, we put a lot of time into human resources management.
Some of this HR management is fun and interesting — [...]
