Monthly GT Rider Dinners
From
miguels-nong-hoi-for-dinner-t7741-75.html#p50683

The next meal will be a change of venue at a Thai restaurant proposed by Franz.

Full details coming soon, but the date is

WEDNESDAY 6TH OCTOBER 2010.

Thereafter we will be alternating the Chiang Mai city dinner venues with a fortnightly GT RIDER RENDEZVOUS RIDE up-country meeting in a smaller town, that you might not normally over night in due to lack of company / night life. We want to get you out riding & over-nighting in the smaller quieter towns, helping the local communities spending your bahts.

i.e......
Once a fortnight in town for a dinner.
Then in two weeks time meet up country somewhere for the night.
Then two weeks later back in Chiang Mai city for a dinner.

Got it.

Ladies & guys, as David mentioned above, we discussed in sometimes making a change of the venue, so this time I'm gonna organise this one as follows:
Date/Time: Wednesday 6th of October 2010 // 19:30
Venue/Road: "Bahn Kaeow Hian Come Restaurant" // Cholprathan Road
How to get there: The Restaurant is Thai and also the yellow sign is only in Thai but very easy to find.
It is exactly opposite the Sirinat Hotel (Cholprathan Road Southbound direction 500 meters after junction with Suthep Road,this is the Hotel where the annual Chiang Mai Bikeweek takes place) on the Northbound lane. Careful, Suthep Road-not to Doi Suthep is the one south of Huay Kaew Road-the one to Doi Suthep, just a warning that no one mixes the 2.
As there is hardly any foreign food, I will have them prepare something like a buffet; therefor I would like you to post if you come and how many persons as then everything should be perfect. Foodcosts should be divided by numbers of persons attending, drinks everyone pays his/her consumption.
Many thanks for your plenty answers & see you on Wednesday, cheers, Franz

Exciting to go and taste food in a Thai restaurant selected by a farang who speaks perfect Thai and ought to know some extraordinary places. I am only interested in Thai food. Perhaps "Bahn Kaeow Hian Come Restaurant" will be the place where I actually taste a difference in the generally good cooking.

We will be 2 persons
Thanks for organizing Franz!!

PS: the 2nd person will be my Permanent Pillion of female nature. I could talk her only into coming arguing that

1. some others of the same sex will show up

2. and even if the vast majority will be men, she is by no means shy off, those will talk
not exclusively about motorbikes

Hi Franz,

As for not talking about motorbikes, hmm, do my best.

Hi Khun Franz,

Count me in. Khun Boua is coming along this time.
That's makes two complicated fellow guests who won't eat meat. As long there is fish, prawns, squid that will be fine...
Not talking motorbikes; no problem. Let's talk about politics instead and have a good heated argument over dinner..
Thanks for taking the time to organize this Franz
See you there...

Bahn Kaeow Hian






Location Opposite the Sirinart Hotel.
Just north of the Banana Tree, where Happy Go Lucky sings, for those of you who know Meow & "the Banana."
Heading south along the canal road, you need to go past the Sirinart & the Banana Tree to make a U-turn then head back North to the Bahn Kaeow Hian.

Lousy snaps, but just so you know what the place looks like.

Hi David,Count me in for myself and Noi tommorrow night.The venue looks good.

I have to admit I dont know much about Thai politics so we may just have to talk about bikes if all else fails!!

Guys, happy to attend but as a result of a recent medical condition and treatment I am no longer able to eat anything even remotely spicy. That includes the overuse of salt,pepper and of course MSG along with chili of any sort or amount.
If they can handle that I'm in.

Thanks for all replies, will wait until tomorrow early afternoon and then have to tell them how many guys & gals are coming.
Went there yesterday with David for some yummies and to prebook and also preorder so anything runs smooth.
JohnnyE don't worry, we will be able to tell them to prepare something special for you without 'prik chee noo, pongchuelote and other spices'.
Ron, don't worry it's a Thai Restaurant and inexpensive, food's good, I go there since years and hope to be able also to use my discountcard for all of you for food.
I asked them to prepare always Thai dishes for 4 and in agreement with David we asked for:
moo daet deeow - gaeng som chaom goong - pla chon rai gahng - gai laow daeng - steak mueang - khao phat poo......
See you all tomorrow, regards, franz

We both liked it very much last night, the food was of very good quality and some extraordinary stuffed fish which we hadn't tasted before. I think the idea to change venue , i.e. scenery is important, there are so many things to see , to experience, why get stuck, either with one location or one type of food.

In the beginning the music was distracting, but it seemed that communication was good after each one found his/her rhythm. The ability to move around more freely than at Miguel's certainly helped.
