Visit to Bunadsfabrikken and the shooting range.

Lai and Martin went to Nordlys Bunader i Chiang Mai. They are situated outside Chiang Mai in Soi 10.

They have this on their contact page:
  Kontoret er åpent 08.00 til 17.00 lokal tid mandag til fredag. Det betyr i praksis for våre
   norske kunder en telefontid fra 06.00 til 12.00 norsk tid. 

It is a Norwegian factory with Anna Klasson as general managaer.  She has problem with adding. 8+6 she manages to be 6 and not 14. Impressive.


"Jag er inte sjuk, bara svensk."
It was closed on Sunday, so we couldn't visit. This what used to be on their webpage:

«Vi har alltid tid til besøk fra Norge, så dersom du er i området på ferie, så er dere hjertelig velkommen til bedriftsbesøk hos oss. Send gjerne en epost til oss i forkant.»

This she changed in an email to:

Jeg er ikke forpliktet til å ta imot gjester, det er en tjeneste jeg kan tilby hvis det passer seg sånn. Dette er en bedrift med ansatte som trenger arbeidsro, de er ikke en turistattraksjon. Jeg har dessverre ikke tid til omvisninger denne uken.

Not much to see.

Off to the shooting range in a Tuc-Tuc after our "visit" to the Norwegian cloth factory.

The entrance of the shooting range.

The sign for the range.

 

The range is nicely equipped, obviously kept by the army

They prices are rather stiff, THB 1700 for 30 rounds or US $ 55,-. Cheaper than in Cambodia.



Rules you must have.

They have a practical gang practicing. Not much changed since 1975 when Martin started to shoot.

Weird. In Thailand, you are not allowed to make your own ammo. The ammo you do get seems home made by Norwegian standards.

The shooting range is part of 3rd Artillery Regiment stationed in Chiang Mai.

Lai don't shoot but like to pose with plastic guns. Why?

It was nicely laid out in a pleasant environment.

A group of practical shooters were training on one of the sections of the range.

Lai horsing around outside the range.

Our Tuc-Tuc.

Lai and Martin. It was a nice visit our last full day in Chiang Mai.

Farewell for now.

Tuc-Tuc is a nice way to get around, cheaply and close to the ground. Recommended.

Street view from the Tuc-Tuc.

Extension of the bridge over the Ping river.

Road side view.

At our end station next to our hotel, The Imperial Mae Ping Hotel​.

Martin at The Drunken Bar.

Nice, fresh, healthy fruit is always available in Thailand.

On Monday Feb 12th, we departed for Bangkok.
