There are three good restaurants for me. First, The Good View Restaurant Cavernous noisy and popular with locals here is where you will find lively bands, abundant and tasty food and a riverside location. Dine early because the band is so loud conversation is impossible.Second, The Riverside Bar and Restaurant popular and lively with two live bands, a broad, mixed menu and indoor/outdoor seating. Features a romantic setting alongside the Ping River. Finally, Palaad Tawanron This popular restaurant enjoys an unbeatable location among the forests on the lower slopes of the mountain (above the zoo). The views are great, but it gets busy so be prepared for a long wait for your food. Follow the signs from the right turn near the top of Suthep Road and behind Chiang Mai University. In conclusion
