Just to let you know that theblether ( that's me ) and Smokie36 ( that's him ) will be arriving in CM on Saturday 21st of July. We're leaving on the morning of the 26th to go to Samui.

Now Smokie has never been to CM, and I was telling him that the CM membership of TV are most urbane, witty, interesting and informative people you could ever hope to come across.

He doesn't believe me.

I would like to prove him wrong so!!! How about a meet at some point during those 4 days we're in CM?? It would be a pleasure to meet with many of you fine chaps and lassies, and we're very open to suggestions biggrin.png

The Duke's for American-style pizza. There are a number of decent Italian-style pizza places, but my favorite is probably Da Stephano or La Fontana.

    Wow these guys are lightning quick on here.

    I will give the American pizza a try UG...is it proper deep pan style?

    Alf...send me a PM mate. ;)

    It is "Chicago style thin crust" which I have never had before, but I have not had a better pizza in Thailand.

    I think you need to contact DaveHowden for advice, he spent a week arranging a get together. sounded like a military operation, all TV members were going.....

    then all TV members had an excuse...even the organiser. and no one turned up.

    dont you just love it when a plan comes together!

    Marco's on Loi Kroh for Mediterranean food is quite good. All the places that I recommended are medium priced - not cheap and not expensive.

    That kinda happened to me in April too but oh well.........I know a couple of worthy fellows who will up for a few drinks, I was thinking about nominating somewhere central eg Johns Place and letting people know what time we would be there at, and people could just roll along informally.

    Good thinking??

    So you thought you could hide from your favorite stalker on this northern forum.w00t.gif

    Doesn't seem very exiting, you even had to bring your "own" poster. whistling.gif A little likebeatdeadhorse.gif

    Have a nice holiday. It is a nice city.

    Well so far it sounds like the only thing you are looking for in Chiang Mai is pizza and drinking.

    Shame as Chiang Mai has so much to offer. But as you can see there is plenty of opportunity for food and drink.

    I just heard of a pizza place outside the moat heading from Thai Pai gate just a little ways down past the McDonald's.

    It as recommended to me by a Thai lady I met in a songtell.

    I was telling him that the CM membership of TV are mostly urbane, witty, informative and interesting people

    I suspect that theblether is a former used-car salesman. rolleyes.gif

    Yes my comment there has been misunderstood.

    I was asking in general...not just about food places...more in general things that I might see and do.

    Thanks.

    How about GJ's at Sansainoi, you will meet some nice, intelligent, witty, people and its not so expensive.welcomeani.gif

    How to get there:

    GJs is off the 121 outer ring road close to the Tesco Lotus located on the corner with the old 1001.

    If you came from town up the old 1001, take a left at the Tesco/121 junction, go about 250m and it is the second soi on the left (Ban San Khayom Soi 1) just past where the traffic island ends. Go left, down across a crossroads with a temple on your right and it's a few yards further on the left.

    And before you get on your high horse, it's not my place.biggrin.png

    Sounds like a plan......new places are always welcome biggrin.png

    Pizza and drinking both sound like good criteria! Shame I'm out of town until 1st of August - I'd have been up for a social. Enjoy CM!

    dont you just love it when a plan comes together!

    In 2012 a crack posting unit was sent to Chaing Mai by George for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security forum to the Thai underground. Today, still wanted by not that many people, they survive as food tasters. If you have a pizza, if no one else wants it, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the B-Team.

    There is a possibility that theblether will be back on the 1st, something to do with his Mrs can't get time off work and if theblether thinks she is going to let him gallivant around Thailand without her there will be consequences of a painful type..........sad.png

    If you are, let me know! :)

    OP.

    Can you be more specific on the time of your arrival, so we can prepare the red carpet? smile.png

    Smokie will be arriving in at 18.30 hours on Saturday 21st July, I'll be in a few hours earlier. I reckon by the time we get washed and polished it will be going on 9.00.

    We leave on the early morning flight to BKK/Samui on the 26th, so we are in your hands until then. biggrin.png

    I want to show Smokie around a bit so anyone that doesn't fancy drinking with us is more than welcome to join us of a day time, we'll need to go to Doi Suthep as it's a criminal offence to be in CM and not go up there, at this point I can hear you groaning " Not Doi Suthep again", the only other daytime place I need to visit is Baan Tawai, that won't take long though, so if anyone fancies lunch any day or some other idea then great wai.gif
