Loy Krathong is just around the corner, and we've decided we are going to avoid the high ordinance areas of the river this year. Something about a quarter stick of dynamite going off 10 meters away that just wasn't fun. My hearing is almost back to normal now....

Viewing all the fire balloons in the sky is very nice, and visitors last year really appreciated the scene from dinner at View Doi off of Nimenhemin. This year, we want to hit as many roof top venues as possible where you can eat, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch all the fire balloons float away. So.... What are all the roof top restaurants in Chiang Mai where you can have a nice meal and watch the stars and balloons?

Had a drink at Bar 360 the other night. Pretty small place and service was iffy. Hopefully it will improve

Ninamanheiman Rd Soi 5-7, I believe. The small soi that runs parallel to Ninamn..

Nice views

Bar 360 is ok for food (not great), friendly and has great views.

Xanadu (top of Grand Heritage) is very smart but a lot more expensive.

Pornping has a rooftop retaurant as well, but never been.

I had my best LK at pornping's rooftop restaurant. I would say the views are unrivalled. They had also made it into quite a decent atmosphere, but i can't remember how good the food was. I'd say it wasn't bad or i would recall it. I think you'll have to book a table, and if you want wine, maybe take your own.

Xanadu - nice but price goes with that.

Porn Ping is great,, i often go there with o/s friends and they are impressed. it has a western style BBQ pit with skewers of meat, sausages, and from memory you can ask for steaks too bcoz they have a steak restuarant next floor down, and Thai food, and all drinks. The food is fresh, tasty and relatively cheap (ie: thai prices, ) Live music most nites, if you dont like it loud sit a ttable angled away from the speakers.

Name - the Blue Bat.

Plenty of parking and Bubbles disco downstairs if you feel like painting the night red afterwards.

Recommended.

I thought TDog was asking for someplace new. Isn't "360" the bar on the roof of the Doi View that he said he went to last year?????

My only other suggestion, isn't really a rooftop but fits his requirements and more -- how about Banana Leaf/Tree on Canal Road, about a km south of town. Live music, escellent Thai food, good view of the sky.

Yes, I think you are correct.

The porn ping roof sounds like a good choice, right in the middle of it all but safely above it all, and with bbq, music and beer, thanks for the suggestion.

the bar 360 is funny because the font that they chose to do the 360 in, makes it look like its called bar EGO. And as its quite posh style, its amusing to me.
