Dear Editor,
Regarding your news article CMM No. 18; page 2 -
Entertainment industry wants venues to stay open late...
Does the government have nothing better to do, than a
study on nightclubs in Chiang Mai? If this study would be undertaken in Koh
Samui or in Pattaya, this would be understandable, but here in Chiang Mai?
Chiang Mai is very well known for tourists who come here
because of nature, the beautiful surroundings, to relax, for wellness, or,
in case of backpackers, for a last stop before moving on to the more rural
areas in Laos and China. I know from reading the different tourist papers
that e.g. Pattaya is fighting for years now to have its entertainment spots
open until 4.00 a.m., which would make sense, since the tourists visiting
the ‘Fun Resort on the Eastern Seaboard’ are quite different from the
couples and backpackers who are coming up north.
So, my thoughts are: if the government has nothing better
to do than a ‘nightclub study’ on the almost non existing nightspots in
Chiang Mai, they seem to be quite happy.
Best regards,
Lorne Meyer
Thank you for the quick reply about subscribing to Chiangmai
Mail. As you can see, the first issue arrived safe and sound here in
Switzerland and we took it with us on our last mountain hike. It is our
great pleasure to be informed about the many activities going on in Chiang
Mai and we are looking forward to coming back in autumn.
