Hi George,

Is this George at the Geko Book store? Thanks for the input about the
Saloon. In Bangkok I think the best hamburger is available at the
Woodstock but I have not tried the new location off Tonglor yet.

Next time you see Jim Goodman please ask him to get in touch with
George Mann -

Mike's has only been around for a few years and the original owner sold
it to a British fellow a few years ago. The burgers are OK, but most
people seem to like the bacon cheeseburger at Chiang Mai Saloon on Loi
Kroh Road in Chiang Mai better.
In Bangkok, Big Mango at Nana Entertainment center probably has the
best burgers for the money in Bangkok.

Yes I know it seems strange that I don't know Mike's but when I am in
Chiang Mai I tend to eat Kao Soi for almost every meal and then head
for the night market for dinner. I have actually walked past Mike's
many times and never really noticed it. Strange how the mind works.

First time I visited Chiang Mai was in 1978 and I have been up there a
couple of times average per year ever since but I am usually headed
somewhere further out in the country and driving a car, so don't spend
much time in Chiang Mai itself. I promise next time I will try Mike's.

Thank you very much orang37, that was a nice piece of information.

I know Chiengmai fairly well but haven't been in a few years, that is a
new Restaurant for me.

Really? Mike's has been around forever, it's a fixture of the expat
scene (at least the established American expat scene).

I do appreciate that he is near-unique among people in his role in that
he hires for efficiency rather than for looks.
