mallmagician Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thought it may be an idea to put a thread on here for people that are aware of offers, or discount/Loyalty cards available in places in Chiang Mai. These could be permanent offers/cards available, or just really good promotions you have spotted! Not limited to food, anything would be good! To get it started:- Pizza Company:- 199Baht gets you a 2 pizzas for the price of 1 discount card. Takeaway collection only. Free Pizza must be of equal or lesser value than the one you pay for! Can be used for upto 3 free pizzas a day! (Hungry?) I just got mine, and it runs out 30/09/07. Im told these are 6 monthly cycles, so you could renew after that, and get 6 months worth of freebies for your 199baht. Rimping:- Loyalty card. Collect points each time you shop there. THese are redeemable for products from a list. Some good stuff on there too, like Ipods and Apple Mac computers, BBQ's etc. You do have to spend a lot to get something decent, but that ain't hard at Rimping! Any more for any more?

colinm Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 You can get a Spot rewards card for the supermarket at Kad Suan Kaew. I just got two 2 jammy donuts for 9 baht! (Except it's not really jam, some amorphous red gloop instead...) The Expats club has 10% discount on a few places. Maybe someone has a definitive list?

These could be permanent offers/cards available, or just really good promotions you have spotted! Not limited to food, anything would be good! UG has a personal loyalty card from the Dukes Restaurant chain. It doesn't give him any discount but they let him eat there any time he wants CarreFour and Lotus has internal loyalty schemes where you get to use the cash docket and redeam it against stuff they have in the service booth. You will need to take a local Thai with you because I can never figure out if we are getting an extra block of soap, a free can of Pepsi or are paying more to buy a plastic "fake wood" clock that I wouldn't want in the house, but gets sent up to the other half's village as a present. The Zanzibar in the Peak Pool area has a buy 5 beers get one free and I know a couple of other bars that do the same deal. Risking the ire of the moderators I have heard but not substantiated that a certain house of relaxation has a similar scheme. Don't PM me because I have not idea how it works but apparently it is a scheme that revolves around how many times you come there CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmac Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The Central shop at PSK Shopping centre will usually give a farang a 5% discount on what ever they buy, but be aware this discount is not available in the TV/Audio section run by Powershop? If you are looking for good bedding etc then this is the place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Regular customers at The Chedi's bar or restaurant can get a VIP card good for 20% discount on all food and beverages, no expiry date. The Thai and Indian menu is excellent. Also, though not strictly a card, the lobby bar (but not the regular bar in the old UK consul building) at The Chedi offers 2-for-1 drinks from 6 to 9pm Mon through Thurs. It applies to bottles of wine as well. Considering drinks at the lobby bar are served with fresh spring rolls and cheesesticks, it's a pretty good deal, making the average cocktail 125 baht instead of 250 baht. Or a 2000-baht bottle of wine only 1000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai and Indian menu is excellent. I would imagine that the Chedi is quite expensive, but for REALLY good Indian vegetarian it would be worth it. I haven't found one Indian restaurant in Thailand that I thought was more than adequate, although there are so many, I've probably just missed the ones that are. Is the Chedi worth the price?

Large Singha Is 65 baht . Each . but of cos promotion will change over time , what i hope is i can keep it at this price , and make it a normal price . i myself don't believe much in promotion and offer - i believe that the best way is we both have fun and enjoy .

Crow Boy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) it is a scheme that revolves around how many times you come there CB Is that on a per visit basis? I really don't know and am starting to regret even mentioning it. One of the guys I know told a couole of us about it it the other week and showed us his card. All I know is that it is a per visit offer and has a few benefits such as VIP room for standard rates. The card has 10 squares (I was going to write boxes but decided against it) and the customer gets it stamped each visit. The 11th visit is then free. The guy told us that they aren't promoting it or handing the cards out to everyone. The floor captain offered it to him as regular "preferred" customer.

For you The Chedi is probably not 'worth the price' as judging from your cited favorites here at TV, you'd want larger portions, lower prices, and preferably a chatty American (or at least farang) owner ... I'm not rich by any means so you won't find me at The Chedi very often, but yes IMO the Chedi is worth the price (esp with a VIP card). I'm probably pointing out the obvious, but the cuisine is oriented towards the discerning palate. Some folks can't tell the difference between average cooking and world-class cooking, and some folks are unhappy when the price of a meal is beyond what their income can accommodate, no matter the quality. Anyone in either of these categories will probably find fault with The Chedi. The Indian dishes I've tasted at The Chedi have been superb. But Bangkok also has good Indian restos (Dosa King, Komalas, Rang Mahal, Indian Hut, Royal India Chakkaphet Rd, Madras Cafe--have you tried any of these?) and if you're not happy with what you've found there, well I wonder where in the globe you've found good Indian. I find the offerings in the aforementioned Indian restos close to on par with the better Indian restos in urban India, Malaysia or Singapore, with somewhat less variety. But we're lucky to have decent Nawabi, Madrasi, Gujarati, and Punjabi cuisines represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
