December 20th - Hash Location

Hare: Able Semen
Type: A to B
Time: Transport leaves Able's house at 2:30 PM sharp to get to point A. Please be there ahead of time.
Cost: 250B for drinkers, 150B for non drinkers

The Christmas hash is once again hosted by Able Semen. There will be little gathering with some food after the hash so there is an additional 50B cost. Please let us know if you are planning to come so we can "guestimate" the food needed. (baanraap@msn.com)

Able has picked a totally new route away from his house, so transports will take us there and back. Please make sure you get there on time.

According to Able, this should be a demanding but rewarding Hash.

If you need transport from the city, please drop a line to Cop Out at: baanraap@msn.com


Directions 
Please make sure you're there by 2:30!

There are 2 ways of getting to Able's house:

Via the Superhighway: http://goo.gl/maps/UaPJ0
1-From Big C, go south and turn right at the lights for the White Temple
2-Continue for about 5 km until T-junction with old road to Chiang Mai. Turn Left.
3-Go straight for about 900 meters, until the kilometer stone 13 (number facing the road, not the number facing you).
4-Slow down and continue for another 400 meters until you see a very "missable" flashing yellow light (that doesn't always work). Turn left.
5-Proceed on that (very scenic) road for about 2 km until you see a water tower on your right. After the tower, make a sharp right.
6-The hash venue is 1 km further, on the left.

November 15th - Write Up

First off, to all the hashers who have bestowed upon me the honor of being scribe for the next year, I would like to say this in my mother tongue, as I think French best describes my state of mind: “Allez tous chier autant que vous êtes, hostie de crosseurs de poules mortes.”

Now that we are done with the pleasantries, on with the Hash write up. If you find that this write up is patchy, please take into account the following:
• I had a few beers
• I didn’t know I had to do this prior to the events
• Memory is not my best asset
• I had a few beers

The hash was set by virgin hares Man-eater, Unconscious Woman Beater, Artsy Fartsy and Silky Smooth. They chose an easy to get to location as everybody who made it actually probably showed up (eventually).

Once instructions were given and water not given because of *insert reason here*, we were on our way. While most people were waiting for the nice shop lady to wake up from her afternoon slumber to take our money for the water bottles we had already taken, virgin Parker took off his shirt to blend in seamlessly with the locals.

The scenery was beautiful: the asphalt made way to esthetically pleasing uphill dirt roads, conveniently located in the blistering sun. I suppose a few hashers died but we don’t have an official body count yet (please let me know the names of the deceased via e-mail so I can update the mailing list).

Luckily, most people made it through the course and even more luckily, there was beer waiting for us. As a general comment about the hash, people would have liked more hills, so please take that into consideration for future Hashes.

Here’s the list of people whose buttocks got refrigerated:

Virgins
• Parker
• Rebecca (who conveniently arrived for the beer but not the hash)

Christened hashers
• Downward Dog (who demonstrated the yoga position while Oral Banger tried to take advantage of the situation)
• Smegma (because we all know what goes on in dairy farms)
• H2Hoe (that’s how you spell chemist in Surrey)
• Frozen Ring (because I was on the block for a long, looooooong time)


Election of the new mismanagement committee

I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that nominations are not on a voluntary basis. People name names (usually the people trying to get out of those jobs) and candidates are usually voted in by the vast majority in attendance that wouldn't touch a responsibility with a 10 ft. pole.

Here are your suckers for the next year:

GM: Cop Out
(Unanimously voted in because most of the Hash money hasn’t gone missing while she was Hash Cash)

Hash Cash:  Tri-Sexual, H2Hoe
(There is no such thing as a corrupt Canadian)

Hash Scribe: Frozen Ring
(Many thanks to the previous guys for setting the bar low)

Beer Meister: Agent Orange
(I think he was voted in mostly because he owns some kind of vehicle with 4 wheels. I also think Crash might help since beer is involved.)

Thanks to the previous mismanagement committee, Oral Banger, Crash, Loose Stool and Cop Out (who got suckered in for a 2nd term) for your work over the last year. I’m sure the new administration will not let this legacy of verbal abuse and inadequacy falter.

Next hashes (don’t forget, more hills please)
-December 20th: Able Semen
-January: Loose Stool
-February: Tri-Sexual
-March: Dragon Balls

Frozen Ring, Hash Scribe.

November 15th Anniversary Hash

Hares : Man-eater, Unconscious Woman Beater, Artsy Fartsy, Silky Smooth  

Time : 3:00 pm, Saturday 15^th June

Everyone is invited to celebrate the 11^th Anniversary of the Chiang Rai Hash this coming Saturday. We are all excited to see what our four virgin hares have lined up for us. It looks to be an exciting run through some beautiful countryside. After the run, we will have to chance to elect a new mismanagement committee, to the great relief of everyone who has had the misfortune of being involved in Chiang Rai hashing this past year.  

Directions

The meeting point will be the same location at the June hash. The parking area/starting point will be at  19.983365°, 99.730930°, on the way to Huay Mae Sai waterfall. Here is a map from google maps that can help. Basically you can stay on road 1207 until the end. The route will be well marked with the HHH signs.

Songtaew

Please rsvp to me by this Thursday whether you will be taking the songtaew to the run site. If there are enough people, the songtaew will be leaving hungry wolfs at 2:30 sharp.

On On On

After the election of new officers to the mismanagement committee, we will gather together at the Chiang Rai Hash pub/restaurant for some pizza and more beer.

October 18th Hash

Hare: Crash

Run Time:  Run begins at 3:30 pm

Location:  Don's Fish Farm (Formerly Don's Restaurant) at Doi Hang, across from Wat.

Latitude:     19°55'12.55"N

Longitude:  99°45'55.17"E

Directions:

• From the intersection (stoplight) of Old Chiang Rai road (Route 1211) and Honglee Rd, head east on Honglee Rd (toward Doi Hang, and Chiang Rai Prison).  
• Continue on Honglee Rd. for 6.6 km (approx. 15 min) to Don's Fishing Farm.  
• Immediately before Don's Fishing Farm, with a Wat on the right, the road forks, take the lower fork slightly downhill, and you will be at the Parking Lot on your left. From Big-C figure about 25 minutes.

Songtaew:

The songtaew will be leaving from Hungry Wolfs at 3:00 pm sharp. So please get there around 2:45.

Important Announcement:

We are sad to say that the general rise in cost of living in Thailand has finally affected the Chiang Rai hash. The 150 B for drinkers and 50 B for non drinkers has remained steady for about 10 years, but unfortunately costs have gone up over that period of time. Starting from the October hash the hash fees will be as follows:

200 Baht for drinkers/songtaew passengers

100 Baht for non drinkers

This still makes Chiang Rai hash one of the cheapest in Thailand as most hashes charge around 300 baht or more.

About the location:

Don's Fishing Farm is a great place.  Families with small kids who want to come can leave the kids at the farm where they can play and be supervised (and catch fish if they want).  Following the Circle, Don will be providing beer and his menu of BBQ Ribs, French Fries, Salads, and Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Hamburgers at regular ridiculously low prices and mix of ice-cold beer following the Hash.

This Hash promises to be a gentle walk in the mountains set by Crash (Hash Beer).

This will be a good Hash to introduce new friends and families to the Chiang Rai H3

On On!

September 13th Hash Location

For those who are unfamiliar with the location of Pong Prabhat Waterfall, here is a map:

Due to the Singha Trail Running Festival inconsiderately taking place during our regular hashing time, the September hash has been moved to the second Saturday of this month - September 13th

Hare: Oral Banger

Start time: 4:00 pm

Songtaew from Hungry Wolfs: Leaving at 3:30

Hash meeting point: Pong Prabhat Waterfall, Ban Du

Directions:

• Turn left  immediately after you pass Ban Du Market (there will be a HHH sign)
• Follow this road all the way to the end. It will take you to Pong Prabhat Waterfall

There won't be food served at this hash. Instead everyone is invited to meet at Hungry Wolf's Restaurant for some giant burgers and massive pizzas upon completion of the circle. While we are hoping for a beautiful sunny afternoon for the hash, the run will take place regardless of what the weather is doing.

Here are some pictures of the Hash location......

Aug 16th Hash Write-Up

The August 16^th hash was attended by 30 hashers as well as about 20 non-hashing friends of the virgin hare, Scapegoat.  It was located in the scenic rolling hills to the east of the White Temple.  The hash did not start off especially well as the songthaew, packed with 14 hashers, Namron and the 4 midgets and Try-Sexual all had problems finding Scapegoat’s poorly marked house.  However a few phone calls resulted in Scapegoat waiting in the road and personally escorting everyone to the run site.  Amazingly, even after the delay, the hare brief got underway only a few minutes later than advertised.  Soon after the start of the hash, the participants found themselves on a paved road, all thinking “oh no, this is going to be a disaster.”  Fortunately for Scapegoat's reputation, he had used the road temporarily only to get the hashers to the back-country roads and trails.  After the turn the trail was fantastic!  It was reminiscent of the first hash Lost Samurai set eons ago, great scenery, nice trails and the devious hare was able to mislead the front runners with some clever false trails and checks. The trails were a bit slippery and able to claim Unconscious Woman Beater as he had a very close encounter with the ground. The FRBs just got to the BBQ shelter as a torrential downpour started and in a shocking turn of events, Oral Banger was actually able to finish the hash before Namron and Missionary Position (who were completely befuddled by the last check.)  The FBR crew was rounded out by Loose Stool and running redheaded Rachael.  As the rain beat down full force, there was a sense of concern for the other hashers still out on the trail so after much deliberation, the FRBs decided it was a good time to crack a beer.  Fifteen to twenty minutes later, as the rain was stopping, the others started to trickle in, all with smiles on their faces and stories to tell about how fun and exciting it was to get caught in the rain.  As they arrived, they were treated to BBQ  goat, Singaporean rice, real Indian curry and other delicacies. Another benefit of the rain was that many of the rain soaked hashers (a surprise wet T-shirt contest) needed a change of clothes so there was a record sale of 7 hash t-shirts!  Finally just as the food was ending and the circle starting, Scapegoat got a call from Blows Twice who claimed her brood was wet, hungry, cold and  lost and in need of an emergency rescue.  Scapegoat called 911 and dispatch said a helicopter was on its way.  Since it is coming from Singapore, I am sure it will get here before next hash.  

In the circle many virgin hashers were welcomed including Amanda and her boyfriend from California,  two German vagabonds from Hamburg (who were amazed to find out that hamburgers were from their home city), and the long awaited Angela. In the circle Loose Stool was splashed as officially the worst hash scribe in the history of the Chiang Rai hash.  A few experienced hashers were renamed - Buffalo Bill was renamed Peeper Creeper due to his Minecraft addiction and Ranger Danger was renamed Dragon Balls (a name which had all the other male hashers green with serpentine envy)  Jenny aquired the name Banana Splitz because of her gymnastic abilities.  The scribe is sure there were attempts at renaming other hashers but in the fog of inebriation he failed to write them down (a mistake that Wirgin Bluce would have never made!) and requests that if anyone is able to provide additional incriminating details please email him as he would be happy to amend this write-up.

The Sept. hash will be set by Oral Banger who decided that because the popular Singha Trail running event will be held at Boonrawd Farm on the 20^th of September (the third Saturday) September’s hash has been moved forward one week to Sept. 13^th.  Crash has volunteered to set Oct. or Nov.

Finally, the songthaew proved to be a resounding success with standing room only so the new tradition will continue and any hashers who would like a ride can meet at Hungry Wolf’s Restaurant in the city.

August 16th Hash - Driving Directions

The August 16th hash will start at 4 p.m. and be set by Scapegoat who plans to do something special as it is his first time to hare alone.  Along those lines, please let him know of you are reasonably sure that you will stick around for the party after the hash as he will be preparing food.  Email him directly at robinsonong86@gmail.com.  Also, the songthaew we had for the last hash was a bit underutilized so we need to know if you will be taking it, otherwise there will be no songthaew.  Email jbclair at yahoo.com and let him know if you want to use the songthaew to get to Scapegoat's farm.

From Scapegoat:
 
Please find below directions to my farm.  Approx driving time from Big C  - 20 minutes.

1) Travel on AH2 towards Phayao
2) Turn left 20 meters after 'T' junction to Wat Rong Khun (see attached picture)




3) Follow the the yellow line in the middle of the road
4) Drive past Chiang Rai Special Education school and follow the HHH signs.
5) Turn right into Passion Farm at the tree with 3 flags

GPS coordinates:
19.806119, 99.792873

Kindly advise in advance whether they will be staying for the party.

Thanks and best regards
Scape Goat

CRFFHHH Hash Report

The July CRFFHHH was set by experienced hare Wirgin Bluce assisted by virgin hares Man Eater and Unconscious Woman Beater.  Wirgin Bluce, opting not to explore new territory, used his second favorite location, moving the venue from well-worn Santiburi to a public lake just outside the city.  WB marketed the trail as “rain friendly” since it was on dirt roads in the countryside.  Indeed, many of the younger hashers had not been to this area so the beautiful rolling hills, mountain and rice field views and a circle on the lake were a rewarding experience them.  Additionally, the skies were slightly overcast so the temperature was very pleasant.  So, there was no excuse for a poor hash but . . . as usual, the FRB’s managed to f*&k things up from the beginning.  Oral Banger, Running Shit Mouth, Shannon, Scape Goat and Namron along with his gang of ruffians, ran straight through a check near the beginning and ended up running the trail in reverse!  Along the trail, Oral Banger and Scapegoat were making fun of “senile” WB who seemed to be putting paper only 10 m. from the checks only to realize later that WB wasn’t the one who made the mistake.  Luckily the trail was a loop so the FRBs got to eat crow as they passed the gaggle of walkers lead by Wild Woman who actually knew the right direction.  Regardless of the error, everyone seemed to enjoy, especially virgin Shannon who decided to run the course one more time just to get a bit more exercise!  The first ones in were able to enjoy tuna sandwiches, San Miguel Beer and guacamole dip while when the walkers returned Wild Woman brought out additional vittles including corn, chicken wings and sticky rice.  The young ruffians and a few of the young at heart enjoyed a refreshing jump off the sala into the lake.  Additionally, Oral Banger gave vuvuzela blowing lessons to anyone who was willing to try blow really hard, resulting in a loud noise and a smile on Oral Banger's face.

After ample food and beer, the GM called Wirgin Bluce into the circle.  Unbeknownst to the majority of the hashers, the GM had gotten a frantic phone call the day before the hash from WB who wanted to cancel the hash because there was a chance of rain. Being a young, inexperienced GM, Oral Banger was flummoxed that one of the “original hashers” of the CR hash was so concerned about rain so he called Namron, the religious advisor.  Namron, not wanting to make any imprudent recommendations decided to consult with the Bangkok hash. What he found was shocking; in nearly 2,000 runs (37 years of hashing x 52 runs a year) the Bangkok hash has NEVER cancelled a hash because of weather!  However, that is a MALE hash so just to be overly cautious, he checked with the WOMEN’S group, the Bangkok Harriettes who have been running weekly since 1982.  In over 1,400 hashes they too have NEVER cancelled a hash because of weather.  So Oral Banger awarded Wirgin Bluce a beer for being  the “oldest lady at the hash” and recommended he take off his knickers next time the skies get a little cloudy.  

Crash was brought into the circle and ribbed for being the first hasher to come over 10 times and not even attempt to complete a run but at the same time, kudos were given by being far and away the best hash beer of all times.  Never has the CR hash eaten so well or had such good beer!

Shannon and Running Sh!t Mouth were given their farewell song but they both promise to come back sometime in the not too distant future.  

Scapegoat will be the hare for the August hash which looks to be a doozy as Scapegoat has already been consulting with Namron about the appropriateness of running the hashers through chest deep water.

Finally it was decided that Loose Stool is completely useless as a scribe and had to be cut loose so by executive order, Oral Banger has appointed Namron as scribe until the Nov. elections come around.

Feb. Hash Write-Up

The Feb. 2014 Chiang Rai FF Hash was set by two virgin hares, Puck Off and Baby Burner, who by choosing a gorgeous area, laying a fantastic trail and corralling a large group of their friends to come out and support, made it a memorable event.  The trail began at the backside of the the agricultural research center about 5 km south of the city and the beginning and ending point was a park on a scenic lake.  Over 40 hashers showed up,  nearly one third of them virgins that the hares had, by a combination of offers of “services” and threats of “unfriending on facebook,”  managed to pull off their barstools in Peace Bar.  The hare brief was unique in that after telling us about  2 trails, one long and one short, the hares then conceded that the short trail wasn’t very good and we should really just do the long one.   Following their lead, one of the front-runners, unnamed of course, took it upon himself/herself?  to completely remove any marks for the short trail, ensuring that all the hashers were able to enjoy (suffer through?) the long trail.  And for this scribe and most of the hashers,  what an enjoyable trail it was - winding over and around rolling hills to cow trails and dirt roads and finally into the agricultural center at the end.  The hares, showing their masochistic proclivities, used every cross trail to set a check so the beginning of the hash was littered with checks and even included a few false trails.  Baby Burner, feeling especially devious, had set a 300 m. false trail and had written “ha ha” in chalk to punish the poor soul who found it.  Ironically, she was the only one who suffered as the FRBs were able to find the proper trail and avoid her 600 m. round-trip trap.  A special trail hazard were the water-buffalo that were not overly happy to be awoken from their mud-bath slumber by groups of farang shouting “on on.”  The hares had intentionally set the final 500 m. of the trail around the outside of the lake ensuring that the hashers would not only get to enjoy the views, they would also pass by the swimming hole.  FRBs Namron and Just In Beaver took full advantage of this opportunity to cool off and have a beer but most of the other “clever” hashers, thinking that they would save some distance by short-cutting to the end on the road, completely missed this spectacular finish.  

The circle was on the lake, around a bonfire.  About half of the first-in were able to get seats around the fire but the slower hashers were left standing, circling around the beer.  The fifteen or so virgin hashers were invited into the circle and asked to give some personal details and why they came to the hash in one sentence.  One of the virgins declared his specialty was “making pancakes” and his girlfriend’s self-claimed ability was “eating those pancakes.”  A young German, who is teaching English (hmm what’s wrong with that picture?) in true hash spirit said he came to the hash “because I like to drink beer.”  Oral Banger made sure to point out that in a rather romantically campy Valentine’s Day fashion statement, one of the virgin hashers was wearing a  t-shirt that had sweetheart pictures of that hasher and his girlfriend on it.  Your humble scribe liked that idea so much that as soon as he arrived home he started searching the web for Angela Jolie and Brad Pitt pictures so that through a bit of Photoshop trickery, Brad’s face disappeared and his own mug  magically appeared.  Other highlights of the circle including Puck Off explaining for posterity where Oral Banger’s name really came from.  She told us that even though the name implies some sexual prowess, the truth is that the name came because Oral Banger shot a bottle rocket at her and it exploded in her mouth.  Oral Banger held his head in shame and finally offered his (somewhat) sincerest apologies for making her suffer such a painful indignity.  Crash was brought to task as being the only Hash Beer who has yet to complete one hash yet was highly appreciated for providing tunafish and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (not in the same sandwich of course.)   After much deliberation, one hasher got the hash name Clean Snatch in honor of her weight lifting hobby (of course) and another hasher was allowed to changer her name from “Always Stupid” to “Tasty Holes” in honor of the donuts she supplied (get your mind out of the gutter!.)  One virgin hasher splashed the hares for inviting him to the hash without telling him what was actually going to happen and finally Shocking came into the circle, made his sales pitch, and was able to entice two young females to come forward and buy T-shirts.  However when Cop Out, our Hash Cash came to collect money, she said “no, they don’t have to pay.”  “Why,” I ask all you readers who have made it this far “could that possibly be?”  . . . . . . . . . . The answer is: the two buyers were the hares and in case you were unaware, the Chiang Rai Hash takes care of its hares by providing free T-shirts and waiving the run fee.  So, we encourage you to step up and put your name in to hare one of the 7 or so remaining hashes left for 2014.
