SWEYNE67 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I appreciate that this has been done in the past but can someone give me an update on what's a good place in C Mai for a traditional Christmas Day lunch. Don't want to go to an expensive hotel and do not want a boozy pub either. Something in between about 1,000 baht per person or less that is child friendly. Seasons greetings hehehe ... bit early!!

jonwilly Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Sausage King does his on 23rd and Yummy Pizza has their's on the 25th. Both excellent traditional meals at say B500. john Did both last year and year before. Edited September 18, 2017 by jonwilly Missing word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alant Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 You say you don't want a boozy pub but I am going to suggest a pub anyway. The Red Lion Book in advance Christmas eve and day about was 750฿ last year (including crackers and hats to wear). Also offer items off normal menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) The Westin (the Holiday Inn now) used to do amazing Christmas feasts for 500 baht. Of course that was back in the early 90s. Edited September 19, 2017 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aslimversgwm Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Bake n Bite do a full Christmas fare buffet style with Turkey, Hams, pork and beef and all the trimmings. Soups and desserts to start and finnish. About 750baht. Drinks extra. Find on Google but they are off soi 4, Kaew Narawat road. Book in advance around November as they get fully booked. Cheers from me Edited September 19, 2017 by aslimversgwm Wrong price. Mistyped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenterry Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'd also include Archers restaurant and bar for your bucket list. 133 Rachapakanai Rd near Zoe Yellow. Traditional 3-4 course Xmas lunch/dinner at a very reasonable cost, huge portions, child friendly, but book well in advance as it's a popular venue. I suggest you visit for Sunday lunch beforehand and you'll be hooked. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293917-d1556900-Reviews-Archer_s-Chiang_Mai.html#photos;geo=293917&detail=1556900&aggregationId=101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, having roasts and plum pudding in a hot climate is ridiculous. My favourite Christmas lunch or dinner in the Australian summer was fresh-cooked cold crayfish from King Island, salad, and a Margaret River classic dry white. Rum and raisin icecream for dessert if I had room. Edited September 19, 2017 by bazza73 Dessert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check The River Market Restaurant to see what they have planned at Christmas. I went to the Fourth of July celebration there and had the best 4th meal ever.

If I ever have the misfortune to have to go to Chaing Mai I will be sure to avoid this place. Flat cap....really?? Is this a scene from Eastenders? And people knock the Chinese for going to Chinese shops and eating Chinese food when in Thailand. Edited September 19, 2017 by tryasimight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you expecting, dining out with the aristocracy? 2 main western restaurants that do a Christmas dinner in Chiang Mai. The Pub (opposite Maya mall) and the Red Lion seen in the picture. The Pub is designed like a typical English pub, it`s old, it smells of mildew and the social atmosphere is practically non-existent. The Red Lion is so, so, but it`s very touristy. You`ll will be hard pushed to find a restaurant in Chiang Mai that`s provides a Christmas fair just like the ones you used to know, where the treetops glisten and children listen. Here`s an idea. Buy a microwave roast dinner meal for 149 baht in the Rimping, buy a Christmas tree from Tesco Lotus and have a nice Christmas at home with the family. That`s what I do every year.

jonwilly Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Had lunch at Yummy today, Toni confirms Christmas dinner on 25th. Turkey is still a problem. He has 10 on order from one source and has made enquires with Macro. Last year he had 165 covers in 3 sittings, which made for a great deal of work. B750 is what he is asking, half in deposit on booking, same as last year. Shot of my, Lamb Shank, today at Yummy. Rob is also searching for turkeys and confirms 23rd, B499, half on booking as deposit. I think we have a Yank celebration due so the Turkey story may enlighten us more. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukes is busy fine tuning their Thanksgiving and Christmas menu. A couple weeks ago they had a "special" that looked wonderful -- a turkey sandwich with all the trimmings, available for just a limited time and only at their original restaurant by the river. This special sold out before I could get over there to purchase it. I recently inquired about the source of the turkey and learned they are bringing in "sample turkeys" to determine their source of bird for the upcoming holidays.

Rum and raisin icecream for dessert if I had room.Don't forget Christmas here is "Winter". Back in Perth it would be 40 for sure. The Margaret River crisp dry white is a must...but alas, here it's a tad more expensive. A nice Mad Fish or Leewin Estate chardy would hit the spot.
