Marco called me today and requested me to post on TV for him since he is in his new house and well yes housebound for a while but does not have internet connection in there. He wants me to tell everybody at TV a very big Thank You for all of you who have posted about his accident and updated the situation and even visited him although he has absolutely no recollection of the visits per say. He can't even remember his brother's 4 day visit from France ... in fact he remembers nothing for the 1st 2 weeks of his hospitalisation .... He is recuperating slowly and will most likely take a few more months if not more before he can come back to work on a full time basis .... meantime he has been going to the restaurant on a very restricted tme basis to organize the staff and menus to keep the business going smoothly and as he said the staff have been wonderful and are certainly holding up the fort ... so no worries and all will be fine ... He said his staff were all very well trained to work on their own and are doung a wonderful job at it ... So hey Marco, hope to see you back full time very soon !!!

This is the young man who started what many people feel is the best VALUE French restaurant Chiang Mai has ever seen, as well as up there with the best quality.

Chez Marco, Loi Kroh, doubled its size after about 2 years of opening and is normally full. Bookings are advisable.

Don't know if they still have gorgeous oysters every Friday night, but I'd crawl over broken glass for those again.

Marco had a serious motorcycle accident which he cannot remember. Only a few weeks after a popular young Chiang Mai Italian chef/patron died in the same way.

Very best wishes, Marco, and to your team who sound to be doing so well in your unfortunate absence...............!

Good to hear that Marco is recovering! We hope he is able to get back back to the hob on a full time basis very soon!! Meantime the feedback we get at The Bell is that the food at Chez Marco is as good as ever, so do pop in and

enjoy a meal soon! Followed by a beer at The Olde Bell of course...followed by one in Number One bar,...followed by one in the CM Saloon, followed by The Red Lion...we do have lots of nice places to eat and drink on Loi Kroh Rd!!

Speedy recovery marco. all the best
