Ruffian Dick Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'm sure the tourists will complain about the disappearance of unique and quirky spots, but jeez, what responsible person would place restaurant tables in the middle of a stream bed???

lordblackader Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'm still trying to work out where to find the Chiang Mai "exhilaration" experience - clearly it won't be in a stream :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The way I have see people throwing garbage , I have to say, Shut these cafes down. It is not only some Thais , but tourists who do not care how they act while they holiday in Asia. Too many slobs in the world these days..

toofarnorth Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If I mailed the mother lode ( England ) and said I was going to have lunch today at the ' Straddling Stream Cafe ' they would be quite jealous. Must be better than ' The cafe by the Pond Coverd in ice ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really......I remember being halfway up a mountain in the Lakes with one of our teachers leading a small group of us 16-year-olds when we came across a stream and started to drink, the teacher said, be very careful of doing that, rat urine in water can kill - we were 2,500 feet up Scafell for gods sake!
