elektrified Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I saw a sign a couple of weeks ago when I was on one of the sois in the rear of Wat Loi Kroh for a new F&C shop right around where Charlies used to be. I don't remember what the name was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 So where the hell is it?? The best i can do is.. In back of Wat Loi Khro. Thats the Wat on Loi Khro on the north side of the street the is a car parking section next to it, go threw the car section out the back side to your right and it is about 200 meters up that soi. Best I can remember. Its in a Shyt location. That one reason CFC went out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEMORIEEEEEEEES http://www.thaivisa....+fish+chip+poll Well, Charlie's and Piggies are gone and the other 5 only got 28 votes between them! F&C in CM looks a bit thin on the ground, so there is potential for another good F&C place and I wish it luck (if it can be found).

gotlost Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Charlies was in business about 4 years. Piggies for a year or so. The major problem they both had was that they were a speciality restaurant supplying only ONE major dish. Others will take over there places and make the same mistake.

It's no use opening a speciality F&C shop and expecting the same customers to go there every day. Nevertheless, while they were running they beat the competition out of sight.

Yes it was kind of cute seeing the guys peddling away, one of the last bastions of old 'Thainess', with Cheerful Charlies Fish And Chips on the back. I wonder how much he paid them?

I was told 50 baht per month back then. that's when adverts on tuk tuks were going for 150 to 300 per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in deed, but if you got what I got there in the UK you would hand it back I understand what you say Hans, how I miss a big Haddock, Cod or Plaice and Chips. However, this is Chiang Mai and I guess it's good that someone is trying. I have had Fish and Chips at numerous places here and mostly I've been disappointed......so now on my bi annual visits to UK I have a Fish and Chip fest.
