Allen Ginsing Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I really like this place and eat there almost every day. Lately i've noticed that that small birds fly in and eat from the trays and from the rice pot if it is not covered. I mentioned this to the lady and she said,,"soarry, soarry.." and shooed them away. I notice these bird are always out from of the restaurant waiting there. Should i be concerned with H5N1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) just dont eat there, I refuse to eat in a restaurant that allows animals in there especially when the owner has them sitting at the tables and eating off them, seems if you have money you can do as you please. I just walk out, same with birds etc, if they are that bad and dont do anything about it, why even eat there Edited October 25, 2017 by seajae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they don't want to offend the birds, LOL. There is only one other veg place in town which is not as good...

Speedo1968 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You don't say where you live so recommending another veggie / vegan restaurant is difficult. If you are not a vegetarian or vegan but just following the veggie celebration I believe it ends on the 28th October. It's not only "vegetarian" restaurants where you see this ( wild birds at the table ), plenty of small restaurants where meat is trayed up at the front of the place have sparrows helping themselves.

chickenslegs Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) If you have been eating there every day and not suffered any ill-effects, I guess that hygiene arrangements in the kitchen must be OK, and (for example) the staff are washing their hands after using the lavatory. It's obviously not ideal to see sparrows taking food from the trays - but (IMHO) far less of a risk to your health than a dirty kitchen or dodgy food storage.

swissie Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I have always been disturbed by birds, them thinking they are part of the "Kitchen-Crew". Same goes for Rats. Defecating whenever and wherever thay want. Not questioning the "Thai-Cuisine" overall, but when ordering a dish "mai phet", why is it still somewhat "phet"? Pure speculation, I don't think that the birds and rats have anything to do with it, regardless of their "Toilet-Habits". Bon appetit ! Cheers.

balo Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Small birds are not really a big danger, if it was dogs eating from the buffet I would be more concerned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 yuk ! how do you know the birds haven't done a crap or two in the tray ..... as mentioned before .... I won't eat where dogs or any animal is allowed in .... and kids in prams are a definite no no. I pay to eat clean food in a quite relaxed atmosphere .. not a zoo .

ZeVonderBearz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 There are tons of vegetarian restaurants around the city, some more hygienic than others. Very blessed with the number of eatery options available to veggies in Chiang Mai. May be worth taking your business elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayaX Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Guess those are not migratory birds and are just domestic birds which do not usually carry those diseases. Closing the doors and giving them a good amount outside will solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason for this is they dont think the dish is tasty without chilli. When you are able to eat chilli you will understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
