NorthernRyland Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Hey guys, are there any nice hotels or restaurants that have a nice Christmas dinner/buffet available? Something on the more fancy end preferably. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Kantary Hills hotel in Nimman has a Christmas Dinner Buffet for 1500 Baht per person. Dec 24 from 600 PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 On the fancier end, try LeCrystal (google their website and hit the Festive Menu option. There are many places offering Xmas eve and Xmas day lunches and dinners. Most, I think, are set menus with option as to mains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Prubangboy Posted December 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Good roundup: https://changpuakmagazine.com/en-article/Christmas-in-Chiang-Mai/328851/ I'm dining at a my local Italian, Why Not? in Nimman. 1,500 baht get's you a broad Italian-ish buffet (with unlimited St. Clair oysters) and a decent selection of non-meat items. Prob not worth traveling to if you're not in the nabe. Def book early. Last year, everything was sold out on the day.

Dcheech Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 There are a lot of options around town. Centara Riverside 1595 B. A couple hundred less if you prebook. Went the last couple years. Will be there again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Generic Western Christmas main menu items with a seafood bar. ?? heh No menu for this year. From last year; Turkey, Ham, RBeef, a large selection, of main and side dishes; western, thai & asian. Seperate salad, seafood and dessert stations. We go to the brunch not the dinner, I assume the menu is the same for both. Edited December 11, 2023 by Dcheech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2Pipes Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Give "My Kitchen" a try and you will not regret it. Open Facebook for the menu or open the following link and right click until you find their Xmas menu:- https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=937025327949629&set=pb.100049265121495.-2207520000 Open Google maps and put "My Kitchen" in the location search to get directions; loads of parking. The quality and quantity of the food far exceeds the price. Highly recommended They have an indoor a/c room and outdoor tables to boot:- What more could you ask for as a Xmas dinner sitting..... (In reality, the outside sitting is far better than my photographic skills ) If this does not suit your Xmas dinner requirements then try their daily specials for lunch or dinner and one day you must try their 300gm (aprox.) beef steak, chips, 2 veg, salad and bread which cannot be bettered for B130. BTW: I have no connection whatsoever to the restaurant other than being a very contented customer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I eat ONLY Thai food in Thailand, and Japanese food in Japan, and Chinese food in China. So, I will be eating appropriately for Xmas. I just wish I could be in Italy this Christmas, for some real Italian cuisine. Although nobody cares what I think: I rate Chinese Food at tops, followed closely by Thai Food, and then REAL Italian cuisine. Japanese food is completely GARBAGE, to me. Just a matter of personal taste (or lack of taste, as the case may be. I don't mean that Japanese food has no taste. I just me that I have no taste, not in food, and not in women, I guess.) Still, if in Chiang Mai, I would opt for the cafeterias at CMU. Great meals, and all you can eat, and the price is my style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not too Christmassy, but The Dusit down by the Night Market does a great N.Thai kanom-style mixed platter of many regional bits and bobs for 500 baht. Def the best N. Thai menu I've had. The coffee and cake for 150 baht looks good too https://www.dusit.com/dusitd2-chiangmai/dining/special-pro-dec2023/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP was asking “are there any nice hotels or restaurants that have a nice Christmas dinner/buffet available?” (in Chiang Mai). Not seeking views from voluble, opinionated posters regarding their preference for Thai food and their derision of Japanese fare. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I just paid for Why Not? Italian. A few people from my building were booking and I succumbed. I was misinformed about them offering oysters. They have yellow fin tuna carpaccio and roast sea bass on the seafood side and roast beef and a veal thing on the meat side. half a dozen good app choices and 4 pastas. Plus plenty of non-meat stuff for my wife. 1500 baht, including a Aperol Spritz that I don't really want. No one wants it. I'll prob down six of them just to clear the table. Pistachio cream puff for dessert -that's a pretty obscure, Sicilian choice. Not a buffet. You order what and as much as you like and then they prepare it to order for you. I prefer this setup, 'have only seen it at high end Indian buffets in Bangkok. The food is actually hot, not just steam table-tepid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
