May 2, 201510 yr 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.
May 2, 201510 yr Typical banter from the the peanut gallery. The Guy is trying to inform you of a NEW PLACE. Then some of you get involved in a existential philosophical spat. Cheap good food!!! Try it or not!! Period...

Try it or not!! Period... EXACTLY, Mr. Chow!!! 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!!!
May 2, 201510 yr Author 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
May 2, 201510 yr It looks very similar to what was set up at the Night Safari over the New Year period.

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.
May 3, 201510 yr 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)
May 3, 201510 yr 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.
May 3, 201510 yr 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.
May 3, 201510 yr 10985356_10153331515611804_7795033989815556402_n.jpg Winnie went for the healthy option Great heads up from the op but this latest photo does the place a bit more justice
May 3, 201510 yr It was closed around 7 this evening. Not even any lights on. Is it normally open 7 days a week and in the evening?
May 3, 201510 yr 10985356_10153331515611804_7795033989815556402_n.jpg And there's my family on the right of your picture, crazy coincidence.
May 3, 201510 yr Quality table & chairs, oh wait oil drums and straw bales..... my mind boggles at the (lack of) comfort factor ... Just in time for tick season, how clever.
May 3, 201510 yr 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.
May 3, 201510 yr It was closed around 7 this evening. Not even any lights on. Is it normally open 7 days a week and in the evening? passed by this evening around 19:40.....was hoping for a beer and some chow.....security guard informed me the place is closed Sunday.
May 4, 201510 yr 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...

This place needs proper moderating IMHO Here's something interesting http://www.upworthy.com/the-science-of-why-the-comment-section-on-just-about-anything-is-so-awful?c=ufb1 It concludes: So it's no surprise that anger is one of the most effective ways to get us to share things onlineand and exactly zero productive discussion occurs.
May 4, 201510 yr 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.
May 4, 201510 yr The last 3 inflammatory posts have been removed. Let's have a bit more civility, thank you.
May 4, 201510 yr Author 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...

May 4, 201510 yr 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.

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).
