You can't get away with saying you have a juicy rumour and then not share it...

Ah, OK, that explains the HOBs issue.

That bottle shop near Tescos has a happening scene going at 6pm. Just walked past, not a spare table outside, mix of Thais and farangs. Got myself a nice german weissbeer to go with the take away.

Perhaps a decent place to buy imports, as long as it's not in the cooler with the refrigerant leak, but I couldn't understand why many go there to do Changs and Leos, when the "promo places" like Dayli and Blah Blah have better prices, some "pretties," working and patronizing, and they actually have restrooms. Somebody told me why, but I don't want to spread rumors....it is very convenient to H4.

Wow, I hadn't thought about the rest room issue. Some of these guys were on their third or fourth large beer. How they resist breaking the seal is beyond me!

We ate there on Saturday. Partner went the burger with the blue cheese (which turned out to be blue cheese dressing). She had heartburn that night, and a dodgy stomach since.

The staff appeared in a bit of a panic, and it took ages for the meals to come. We were going to leave after waiting over 40 minutes for the food. Partner wishes she had!

Shame as we've enjoyed meals at Duke's on other occasions, but we definitely won't be heading back for a while.

Hi people

Looking for a few recommendations for places that serve interesting beers (ie not the usual run of the mill lagers) in the Nimman area.

I've walked past the Beer Lab, and have seen reports of Beer Republic down Soi 11 (which doesn't look too flash from the googlemap streetview). Is House of Beers still here? (Tripadvisor thinks it's closed). What about the rooftop of Maya? What's up there, and when do they open?

Gee it sucks getting old…I did a Google search for Ban Rom Mai and came up with some positive comments I'd made about it on a Tripadvisor thread five years ago!

New pictures don't look much like how I remembered it, it must have been a big refurb.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Ah, that would explain why it seems to have disappeared from the map. Thanks!

A few years ago I had a decent meal in a nice Thai garden restaurant that was at the back of Chang Klan Plaza, just south of the Shangri-La hotel. I can't remember what it was called, and can't see it on Googlemaps.

Can anyone recall what it was called and tell me whether its still there?

Ended up eventually getting through to Citibank- they couldn't find any reference to it still being there, so presume its closed.

Thanks- but I always thought that Chan Klang Rd and the University were on opposite sides of the city?

Hi people

Can anyone advise if there is still a Citibank branch or ATM in Chiang Mai? I recall using one at the Airport Mall a few years back, but I can't see any indication on the Citibank Thailand website that it's still there.

Many thanks

I think you'll find the term 'educational establishment' is for universities and colleges so I'm told.

I'm not so sure about that...

Nothing

Hmm, the Bangkok Post report I just saw suggests otherwise…Nimman is one of the areas likely to be adversely impacted according to the group of 80 owners protesting ( I mean disagreeing politely) with the new law...

What's the likely impact on Nimmanheiman?

Is it only Friday 31 that we can't buy a drink, or the whole weekend?

Looks like my departure from LOS on 17 August is well timed...

Has anyone been able to see what the effect would be on the Nimannheiman area of Chiang Mai? It must be more than 300m from the Uni, but what about schools?

Obviously hasn't been up to Lumphini Park lately...

Thanks Baywatch. Anything after 19 July? The site I linked to had later games, but there seems to be some confusion as to whether that's accurate.

Yes sure. This is 1st Leg games schedule. Then will be 2nd Leg. You will find it on the same website.

I can't find a link to the 2nd leg on that website. Can someone post a link?

Am I right to think it was worst at the northern end of the beach? How about up towards the Amari?

Thanks. We've ended up a bit further north off Nimman Road so should be OK.

That's what I recall from previous games, which is why this threw me- maybe its the Aussie time zone...

Hi guys

Trying to find the CM FC fixture list to see if I can catch a game while I'm back in town (28 July to 9 August).

The only site I can find in English suggests there's a home game against BBCU (?) on 2 August, but says that the game kicks off at 10pm! Can that be right? I'll need a sleep in the afternoon!

Hi people

We're heading back to Chiang Mai for a 12 night stay in July (we want to stay around the Nimman area). A couple of the accommodation options are in the Hillside 2 condo. Location is good but we remember that its very close to the late night beer and music place (Tawan Daeng?). Can anyone advise if the noise has been a problem for residents?

We've eaten there twice, once in 2011 and once last month. It was even better the second time. A worthy recipient of the award. Just don't go looking for your bog standard, post 15 pint, chicken tikka masala.
