Benjie Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Went there today... The burger place is great and good value at 100 baht for a meaty double burger with cheese. The Sushi was very nice, Pizza was nice but comparatively expensive 140baht for a small 9" Pizza. Great choice of healthy drinks, lemongrass mojitos etc.... the seating and general setup is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr chow Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Typical banter from the the peanut gallery. The Guy is trying to inform you of a NEW PLACE.

The O.P.'s posting something everyone might like and we have to get into a sociodemographic debate. If they have good hotdogs I'll bring my own Grey Poupon!!!

JimShortz Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, I glad to see that some of you liked it! ThaiVisa is a really special place though... I don't know of any other forum populated by such a bunch of argumentative, bored, old buggers who would argue over just about anything! Actually, lots of good people too, they just get drowned out by the grumpies. Such a shame really... This place needs proper moderating IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case anyone, like half the forum, takes my comment the wrong way it was just meant to be fun - sanook. It just slipped off my tongue so to speak. I like Grey Poupon. I like all Dijon mustards and have nothing against anyone using them. I will also add, just in case, that I admire the French bourgeoisie greatly. I apologise for any and all offences in advance.

sfokevin Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Where in Chiang Mai can one get Grey Poupon? (In the glass jar - not the cheap plastic squeeze container the boys at Big C sell) Edited May 3, 2015 by sfokevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Where in Chiang Mai can one get Grey Poupon? (In the glass jar - not the cheap plastic squeeze container the boys at Big C sell) I pretty sure I have seen it at Rimping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The straw bales put me off immediately. I hate sitting on bales. Done it way too much, coming from an agricultural background. But I still might check it out and get something to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaamNaam Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Looks nice, My problem with ''Food Courts'' here i just wish there was some that had '''Healthy Options'' , as in, Less Sugar and Less Salt... , and even if they do have a Salad bar, its very very Basic... Oh well maybe one day..... Exactly. And a proper juice bar for refreshments. Not fruit only juice bar either. Perhaps one day like you say.

junglechef Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 There are some excellent French Dijon mustards available, such as 2 of my favorites Maille Dijon Original and Amora Moutarde de Dijon, here if you can't find Grey Poupon. I just bought some Moutarde De Meaux Pommery, a stone ground mustard, at Kassem (if I remember correctly) which is wonderful too if you like that kind of preparation. Well, I glad to see that some of you liked it!ThaiVisa is a really special place though...

RikDao Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 This looks like heaven for those 40 baht a day boys!!! Why the "boys"? Because you can afford more, that makes you a man? A little dysfunctional man, perhaps? Not everyone was born into wealth like some people or got lucky to either have great parents or great teachers! Maybe you should read Outliers from Malcom Gladwell and learn about humility! Hahahahahah! Quite hilarious response! Thanks for that. Let's see, right now the rate is 33.33 to a dollar, so 40 baht would be, umm, well, not much! Dollar fifteen or something, after fees? Dollar twelve? So you got insulted by the "boys" part? I'd be more inclined to chafe at the "40 baht" bit. Personally, I can handle 60 baht a day, easy. Maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimShortz Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Nice work onthedarkside. The people who post "inflammatory" posts are those responsible for nearly everyone I speak to being astonished that I even bother to check-in occasionally to ThaiVisa these days. It really is a shame, but so many people feel that way in Chiang Mai... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBob Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Stopped by there this evening with a friend in spite of my concern that it would be too hot there (thinking the day's sweltering heat would be radiating off of all that cement). Actually, it was fine. As for the food, I had the "cowboy chicken satay" with a baked potato and it was reasonably okay (the chicken actually tasted good whereas the baked potato was a bit underdone). The portions were relatively small (but, then again, the dish was only 60 baht). My friend had some noodles and his choice also got a resounding "okay." The beer, however, was just fine.

The way the Australian dollar is going being a 40 baht boy will be more than I can afford. It has being hovering around the 24 baht mark and if it gets any lower skiing in Switzerland is off the agenda next winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coconut milkshake from the place in the middle on the right was spot on. The whole theme seems to be snack sized portions of food, which is ideal if you just fancy a bite between shopping and drinking (or vice versa).
