bill mark

Chiang Mai Grandview lunch buffet - 120 baht - nice selection of western and thai dishes (with a puny little sushi section that includes 'hot-dog' sushi rolls!!!).

Free coffee, tea, water and crepes suzettes. Stay away from the petro-chemical-iced deserts!

Bread pudding is great when they have it...

When the roast beef is rare I make myself a huge sandwich.

Usually lots of fish dishes as well, and some of the thai soups are really great.

Never too salty, and never cold (like the Sheraton 500 baht ripoff).

Nice atmosphere - newly redecorated, and pleasant staff (although a little too eager sometimes - one lifted a plate from me while I was still eating from it!!!)

Seriously - great value for money - overall quite good food (and sometimes delicious), and nice decor.

Just my opinion, but I was a chef for 15 years and used to teach Thai cooking (among other cuisines...)

Cheers, Mark

p.s. don't buy any drinks - I think bottled water starts at 800 baht, and beer at 2000 - perhaps I exagerate a little)

If you have A- blood, and the inclination to help - go to McKormick hosppital and offer your red stuff!

Might save a life, and give you good kharma. I was sure i was A-, but it turns out I am A+ - couldn't help.

It is a Thai person in need (not that that should make a difference)

Go for it, and I hope you don't faint (I don't faint - I just want to!!!)

Sincerely, Mark
