Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Chiang Mai right now.
Chiang Mai has dozens of places where you can grab a beer or a cocktail, listen to live music, or both. Two centers of action are the Riverside area, where restaurants like the Good View double as bars later in the evening, and Nimmanhemin Road heading south from Huay Kaew Road. As with elsewhere in Thailand, many Bangkok-style hostess bars are easy to find, most notably at the western end of Loi Kroh Road, the southern end of Moon Muang Road, and the Bar Beer Center next to the Top North Hotel on Moon Muang Road.
At the ever-popular Kantoke Palace, a series of dances that might involve umbrellas, swords, or other props is followed by an audience-participation circle dance. The food is not what you're coming for, though the specialty cocktails aren't bad.
This fine ensemble of old-style teak-built houses offers a multicourse dinner accompanied by traditional music and dancing. Take a seat on the floor to experience the show up close.
