Just seen this posted by someone on my facebook page

Sonic Playground will be launching in 2013 in Chiang Mai. With four music venues covering over 4,000 square meters, its the largest entertainment complex in Northern Thailand. Sonic Club, Echo Restaurant, Sound Wave Dayclub and CNX Live Concert Hall.

Sounds like an Ambitious project but also sounds pretty good Chiang Mai needs something NEW

Day Club sounds like a nice idea if it takes off

Hope to goodness it's nowhere near me. Sounds very noisy...

Read about this about a month ago. I think its planned for outer Chang Phuak.

Has fairly nicely designed facebook page http://www.facebook.com/sonicplaygroundcm

Not my scene but would be nice if the product matches the hype.

nahhh .. but they built this one just for nong hoi residents : )

just joshin ... dave2

Oh darn, I was hoping this would be a place with a really good pool for lap swimming. Not everyone has transport to go to the "Center of the Universe" -- which isn't exactly in the center of the song thaew universe.

New hangout for the E and meth heads, like others glad its snowhere near me. Does seem a big project with serious money behind it so should be free of the BIB.

Here it is next to Tops supermarket. I got the pic from their facebook page.

Hard to imagine it looking like the photos they are spruiking, but I haven't been inside to see for myself.

As it says, 'Music and Fun'.

I imagine it will just be an attempt at a posh karaoke bar.

But I could be wrong....

The location is where the old Playhouse/Simon Cabaret used to be. As there is already another late night club in that area can't imagine the noise will get any worse. Since it's right next to Chiang Mai's most dodgy "entertainment" area you can bet the BIB will be heavily involved.

Apparently it's the people from the old Martini bar that are behind the project. Given how that story went down I wouldn't hold out big hopes for this...... And the location doesn't exactly have a track record of success.

Indeed it doesn't.. Also, police love to do checkpoints in that area.

Still, it's not a bad spot, very central.

Progress.

Hey, i've just read this topic.

Can anybody please tell me what the term "BIB" means. Can also anybody please tell me what happened to the owners of the martinin bar?

i think it's an interesting project

Vibe beat me to it!

BUMP! Just curious, anyone have an update on this?

I went past there today. Looks like construction ground to a halt sometime ago judging by the growth of vegetation. And "Differ" (the big club next door) seems to have expanded into the restaurant space from the old Playhouse.

No clues on their website or facebook page except an advert for a "Business Opportunity"

Yes I was also thinking of posting a topic asking what happened about this project. Heard about it at the start of the year, then nothing since?

Seems very likely some investors have pulled out and their looking for other willing ones.

Knowing how fickle the nightlife scene can be in CM I always though it was quite a risk for a substantial investment, but then most of business is about taking calculated risks and if they have done their market research it has the possibility to be very successful. Lot of young college and university students in CM......?
