Welcome To Our New Advertiser The Olde Bell

Hosting the Thai Visa party should put the Olde Bell on the map. Wouldn't class myself as a regular but have enjoyed a pint in there from time to time with their delicous cheese platter. Welcome back

You mustn't get out too regularly, as The Olde Bell has been well and truly on the Chiang Mai map for over 4 years.

If this new move boosts this already exceptionally friendly place, about as authentic as a British pub can be around here, I will be delighted. Mein host and his missis thoroughly deserve it.

For me, the place has everything except parking - for anything more than a Honda Dream. I recommend the enormous car park of DK Books, an invigorating walk downhill from the moat, or conversley a tired crawl back up after your are full. But even if you are late and the barriers are closed, a smile, a polite wai and a 20b note to the DK security man buys your vehicle its freedom.

Lastly, re the annual thaivisa 'do', may I ask why people walk around (I have heard) with their posting names on their chests? I thought that part of the fun here was to be anonymous?

If I promise to omit your final 'e', is it ok with you if I walk around with 'Anonymous' on my tits?

I take it you had one to many at the Bell when writing this post

As I mentioned in my post I have drank and eaten at the Old Belle over the years but am not a regular so I'm aware that it has been around for about 4 years. There are as noted on previous posts people who on TV who won't venture down Loi Kroh because of its reputation hopefully being a TV sponsor it may encourage these people and others to visit.

Yes I'll lend you my name tag but I always find part of the fun is putting names to faces
