Hesitate to give a heads-up on restaurants as people have such varying tastes and demands. But we have eaten a few times at Nang Sabai, run by a friendly french-thai couple from Reunion, near Madagascar.

Simple place with about 6 tables serving thai food between 40-60 baht, and french specials of the day. Tonight I had a venison steak (from Lampang), served pink, with a light creamy peppercorn sauce, garlic bread, mash potato (could have opted for fries) and a small salad. At a guess the steak was about 200g and fine for me - but maybe small for those who like Duke-size portions. Amazing value at 120baht I thought. They also had Poulet Cordon Bleu and two other dishes I cant recall, and I have yet to try their Maigret du Canard. Wine at 80bht a glass though I havent tried it yet . Australian white and Chilean red I think.

Its at 232 Chiang Mai- Lamphun Road, on the left as you head from Holiday Inn towards Gymkhana Golf . Opens 12-3 and 6-9, closed sundays-and I think maybe tomorrow for the holiday. Possible to phone ahead to check daily specials etc on 0846114270.

Also do spaghetti and burgers.

Thanks, will give it a try.

What a very strange uninformed view of Nong Hoi!!

You may have to look a little harder for the restaurants but they are here-and we are a walk from Chang Klan/Night bazaar area-if you are reasonably fit.

Just come back from tennis. May go to the Nong Hoi TexMex tonight which we prefer to Dukes. And we are a walk to Gymkhana golf - nice place to sit on the terrace and eat/drink in the shade. And plenty of places to get a good massage. Not to mention the fresh food market.

Cemetery? Coma? Sorry old chap but you really do not know what you are talking about, again. But maybe you prefer to live near Loy Kroh, Spotlight etc. Each to their own.

^^^^^guess you reside there????, sorry about that,

my thoughts remain the same,

agreed , each to their own..

oh the spotlight bit, can pull a attractive wench there at the right price, if u have the good looks and a personality such as mine,not forgetting my flashing smile

think u better stick to hit and giggle ,seems right up your alley

have a nice afternoon

Not sure what hit and giggle means but then your posts are often hard to interpret.

But maybe suspend you disbelief. Amazing what new discoveries an open mind can achieve.

any live grubs on the menu at your recommended french /thai graze???

do prefer them fried, nice and crispy, but not fussy, live ones will do, too

b/t please try a dish if available, very delicious and cheap, and the penny will drop

Hook, line & sinker.. Don't fall for the flamebait.

(Unless of course it's me doing it. Then the more response the better. )

I kerb crawled along there this morning trying to spot this place. The farang kitchen is easy to spot, the only other place which looked to have a tiny but of style was one with coloured tables, ....I think maybe that's the one.?

As far as location goes, whilst not agreeing with evenstevens it is on the worst eclectic stretch of hotchpotch businesses and credit to them to try and break the mould, it needs it.

The owners that invest there have the advantage of getting in when the rents are cheap and their success will bring in other nice shops, then rents increase. And of course value. I hope they create a rod for their own back, that means they were successful.

No, Farang kitchen is run by a thai guy who has just returned from 35 years in Crystal Palace.

Nang Sabai is on the same side but maybe 400m towards Gymkhana, almost next to the large electricity office. Looks more thai style from the outside than farang kitchen.

And you are right, that strip has cheap rents and not a lot to offer-yet.

that was the point i was making, the location is very poor in so many ways ,stayed at the h/inn so many times, the kiwi g/m at the time acknowledge it, as a marketing nightmare in terms of location and unpleasant surroundings enviorment

even back in c/mai coma days, it was a pain in the neck to get to,but westin,s fab lunchtime buffetts made the effort worthwhile

and to close with, i did nt know b/t resides in the area mentioned , so i can undersand why he has got the huff, my comments were directed to the location and the make up of the area,full stop

a nice afternoon to all
