Chiang Mai restaurants

Looking from the car park, downstairs left was great and had the somtam salmon. Have since been back to the downstairs right for the 89baht buffet that was ok and plentiful but not as good.
 
I am assuming up and down on each side is the same but the 2 sides are different.. We eat upstairs right hand side of the walkway up.

Bump for the rider asking me about Coffee Terminal



Coffee Terminal



If you're a petrol head you will love this place, it's turned into a Sunday afternoon hangout for the Thai big bike guys in Chiang Mai.

Just an update to point out that while the breakfasts at 'I Don't Know' are still excellent, they no longer open at 7am, but have now started opening at 9am (which is a shame as it was a nice place for an early breakfast).

Any takers? |A collective known as the Fraud Recovery Group are very interested. Go to their website for Hutcherson’s bio.


Interesting background story on the boiler room op. Scammed punters should mount a class action on the estate.

In Cambodia the Chinese are/were running boiler room type ops to scam mainland Chinese.
170 were recently caught in Snooky. China sent a plane and their own immigration officials to pick them up.

Pity Western governments couldnt do the same when it involves their citizens

Street Pizza


There seems to be a majority that say Street Pizza does the best pizza in Chiang Mai. I gave it a shot and have to agree, the reason, their pizza bases are the best ive ever had (anyone can put cheese on top)

Service was a disaster, a new venture so can be overlooked for a while.


They've tried to do panini flat bread. This was with smoked salmon, the bread was home made i think and scone-like, but acceptable.

Asked for a soda with a lime and got 10x limes in the soda, looks like he'd not worked in a restaurant before

Literally 4 meters away, a new KFC is going up blocking the view of The Hangout from R 108, I wonder if they knew about this when they signed the lease?
