Greenside Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Arrived for the CMPG meeting this week to find another round of renovation in progress with new owners Niels and Am preparing to open this weekend as Dutch Delicious. Niels is from Amsterdam and has, he told me, served time as a chef so their aim is to widen and upgrade the food offering while continuing to promote the accommodation added by the Red Mango. His wife Am is charming and they kindly laid on an impromptu buffet for us that bodes well of things to come. Possibly not the easiest weekend to be opening a new venture given the alcohol ban, but I wish them all the best anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well, they just moved in right, no need to buy anything; the place is rented. They apparenlty sold it when they left, so on that there is profit. If there is also profit when taking their time/salary and operating costs into account is doubtful I guess?

womblejamie Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 At least someone new will be making good use of an excellent venue, well done to Red Mango for keeping at a going concern, although I was never in town to enjoy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh agreed...Fantastic venue and even better parking,with the option of never been able to play music reasonably loud,due to the guesthouses opposite.... Still sunday dinners are ok apparantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 So the people that had it after it was Tuskers have already gone ?? Are you surprised ? Why should'nt I be?, the previous owners were only there 6 or 7 months and must have invested a great deal of time and energy into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sunday dinners are ok apparantly I guess it actually takes effort in Chiang Mai to find a location where parking is truly a challenge. The other one in that category (but highly successful regardless) is Chez Marco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It opened at the beginning of November 2010 and right from the start the new owners were making big changes. I'm not surprised to see it change hands again......I reckon that was the original idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
