CaptainKitty Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just wondering if anything goes on for St Paddy's day in CM? Last year I didn't do anything. I've got my green and all that, just want to find something to do! If nothing then I'll have a Chang or two in Mae Taeng ...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Traditional Irish Yoga mostly. But if you are planning a night in Chiang Mai then I'd start at the UN Irish Pub, then move on to the reggae bars close by which will likely also be a party night.

Display Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 An Irish Breakfast and a few pints of Guinness, or Bailey with Ice, in an Irish pub To be honest its just a day to party IMO. But paddies day is one of the days I would go for an occasional drink. Not a big drinker though... Thai's haven't a clue what's its about, Lmao forget about it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) It's on Ratwithi Road.

Pizza also okay. Don't ever order steak though, unless you bring a chainsaw to cut it. Edited March 13, 2014 by WinnieTheKhwai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good steak, like the best things in life need to be well hung In Chiangmai, a good Steak is a 'heart attack' in waiting. Lessor things are more likely of course, like your entire family traveling abroad & suddenly developing bronchitis after just one week in Chiang Mai.

"Thai's haven't a clue what's its about, " I doubt most people know what it's about. Judging from the comments in this thread the common belief appears to be "it's about" getting drunk. Back in December someone start a post about Christmas in Thailand and it was clear he had no idea what Christmas is (supposed to be) about. He seemed to think it had something to do with giving children toys for some reason unclear to him. St. Valentine, All Saints, All Souls. Pretty sure the Thai Visa consensus would be that they, like any other day, present an excuse to drink and/or expect someone to give them something for free. Saint Patrick's Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated annually on 17 March, the death date of the most commonly-recognised patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.

Beetlejuice Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We never celebrated St Patricks day because we`re not Irish. My father did once say that his father was Irish and in fact I have an Irish sounding surname, but we never mentioned this to anyone else as it may have brought great shame and embarrassment to our family.

But all joking aside, I can remember as a child my great aunt taking me to midnight mass and we did used to celebrate St Patricks day. Irish Americans they were. And my mother`s family were English Jewish cockneys from the East End. We used to celebrate some on the Jewish festivals as well, although none of my family on both sides were ever religious. The Cohen's and the Kelly's people in our street used to nickname us. Wonderful days with family and God knows how I later ended up here at the bottom of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, you have spelt Irish with a small i. This thread was created by someone who is either Irish or has Irish decent or is just a good ole sport. So why did you bother to take all this effort to come on to an Irish themed thread just to tell everyone being Irish has nothing to do with you?
