Chiangmai is a northern capital and the local don't appreciate the use of coconut milk in their food. So the Chili paste, the coconut, palm sugar are not as good as the middle part of the Kingdom. Not that the local Chiangmai people will care. They don't appreciate the Thai food that has characteristic of Red chili curry or green chili curry as they are to sweet and included coconut milk which do not suit for their taste.

while i think it is an excellent idea and hard to pull through i hope you will do it and i will watch your progress. i hope however that the adresses will be a lot more explicit (phonenr would be nice if applicable) than the above otherwise it just caters to the incrowd know-it-alls and leaves out the slightly dimwitted like myself.i have lived in chiang mai for 8 years but couldn't find any of the above from your description there.i remember searching on and off for pun pun outside sun dok temple as i could not know there would be a restaurant inside a temple for several years until i read about it on tv.i discovered a pletore of other restaurants in the process as i like to experiment just like you :rolleyes:

Mr. Good was fine in person, but about 100 years old. Last time I heard he was in the hospital. Does anyone know how he is doing?

Of course not, it's going to take a while to get 365 different places!
