A great weekend in Chiang Mai
I flew out of Bangkok Saturday morning after only getting 2 hours sleep due to a heavy one in Bangkok, arrived, got some food and then got ready for another heavy night on the town with some great friends from Chiang Mai.
The Chiang Mai locals are soo friendly! Actually, I think that Bangkok (away from the tourist areas) has a lot of friendly people, but going outside the big city makes you realize why Thailand is also known as the land of smiles.
Got some lunch in Dukes - never again. I was served some apple pie that come with a free strand of hair, I told the waitress and after declining her offer for another piece I was given the “you snob” look. 2 minutes later I get up to go to the toilet and on my way I notice that she’s putting my slice of apple pie back in the display fridge! Egrrr
I stayed at the Sira Hotel and can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ve stayed there 3 times now and will definitely stay there again.
The friends I went to see were the best hosts anyone could wish for. True diamonds. They took me clubbing then onto get some Chiang Mai cuisine, which included a curry that tasted just like Masaman and some Chiang Mai sausage - Good stuff.
If you were to ask any Thai bloke where the best looking girls come from, 8 out of 10 will say Chiang Mai. It’s true.
I love the street food in Chiang Mai, for some reason I thought the karts were more clean and they served bigger portions than I regularly get in Bangkok!
All in all it was a great trip and I can’t wait to return!
Fuck you asshole. It was probably your pubic hair and you were trying to scam a free meal. Don’t fucking go on a public forum and post bullshit. At The Duke’s we not only take care of our customers but we never charge them when there is a problem. You must be a real asshole.
I was giving The Duke’s the benefit of the doubt before I saw Dave’s comment! Gonna give the place a wide berth now just because of his comment. If I spoke to customers of mine like that I would be out of business in no time.
