chiang mai gathering place
A restaurant and bar, it’s run by Bob Tilley, a former correspondent in Germany for the British press. The place serves as a de facto press club for the locals where everyone can see everyone and get a sense of what’s going on in Thailand and the region. I’m posting a pdf story on the club here and will link it to On The Record.
