mikey88 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hello all, I’ve been trapped outside Thailand for a long time now. I have the opportunity to come back through the SANDBOX program. I stay in Chiang Mai under normal circumstances. Part of the joy of being there and living there was to go out weekly with some friends to dinner….usually in or around the old city. Can any current inhabitants comment on what is open in terms of restaurants…? I’m not talking about street food…. I imagine many or most restaurants are closed but have no idea really.. Appreciate any help you might give… Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excel Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Best consider taking a packed lunch currently, the situation appears not to be improving soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canthai55 Posted July 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2021 Most are open. We have no problem sitting down to eat. If your favorites are open - unknown. Ate inside the moat Sunday and a couple days ago - no problem. Chiang Mai not a Red or Dark Red zone so all good. No alcohol after 2100 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordblackader Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Any restaurants that have not permanently closed down are reopened with alcohol until 9 p.m. Outside of the moat, night bazaar and Nimman where there are plenty of empty shops you'd never know that COVID was a thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not ask those friends? They would even know if your favorite places are open. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 We are in deep red, some would say deep ßhit, nearly all 'fancy' restaurants are closed.......plenty of street food places still open.......the odd bar is open, but behind closed doors or curtains drawn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bars" on Loi Kroh are now "Restaurants" but look exactly the same as they did before. <laughs> They provide 'services' not normally on the menu at regular restaurants. Also provides "take-out."

sqwakvfr Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hard Rock Cafe appears to be closed. The Burger King located near HD Cafe is closed. The Pizza Company locations in Airport Plaza and Maya Mall are closed. Wrapmaster has moved from inside of Maya to a location off Soi 7 Nimmanhaemin. Both Gekko Garden and Mad Dog (new location) are still open. For a specific restaurant please ask and I will look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 They've just closed all the schools again. Can't imagine they'll leave the restaurants open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
