In-Depth Information
( Th Tha Phae; 9.30-6pm)
The mountains of the north also produce Assam tea,
served in the Victorian-era Tea House, which shares space with Siam Celadon. It's
a beautiful setting for a cup of jasmine tea and a snack.
Entertainment
SUDSANAN
Live Music
( Th Huay Kaew)
Down a driveway opposite a Shell Service Station, this warmly lit
wooden house is filled with a lot of local soul. Long-haired Thais and expats, espe-
cially from local NGOs, come here to applaud the adept performances that jog from
samba to
pleng pêu·a chee·wít
(songs for life).
RIVERSIDE BAR & RESTAURANT
(9-11 Th Charoenrat)
In a twinkly setting on the Ping River, Riverside is a one of the
longest-running live-music venues in Chiang Mai. The cover bands made up of age-
ing Thai hippies stake out centre stage and fill the room with all the singalong tunes
from the classic-rock vault.

perennial favourite for the young and beautiful, Warm-Up is one of Chiang Mai's
best dance houses.
MONKEY CLUB
Nightclub
( 7 Soi 9, Th Nimmanhaemin)
Merging dinner with dancing and live music in the
beautifully-lit tropical garden and featuring local, crooning live bands, Monkey Club
attracts a tribe of affluent Thai students and a few expats who might migrate from
the garden seats to the glassed-in, all-white bar and club.
