The​ ​View​ Village — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I used to be a regular customer at this restaurant, but my recent visit left me extremely disappointed and frustrated. Despite my prior positive experiences, this time the staff forgot to bring our drinks until after we finished our entire meal. What's worse, the drinks never even arrived, and this experience has convinced me not to return.

It's incredibly disheartening to see such a lack of attention and care from the staff. As someone who has frequented this establishment in the past, I expected better service. Even though the restaurant wasn't overly crowded, the fact that they neglected to bring our drinks until it was too late is simply unacceptable.

As a result of this incident, I regretfully say that I will not be returning to this restaurant. The lack of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by the staff has tarnished my previous positive experiences. I hope that the management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements to avoid similar experiences for other patrons...

Larger version of the Goodview Bar & Restaurant on the Ping River, this is a monster of a restaurant (one of the biggest restauarants in Chiang Mai). It can probably hold about 400 people or so and has live music every night, beware going there on a public holiday as it's chaos (and you will need a reservation).

Food is variable, some things are good, nothing is bad but some things are a bit average.

Prices are medium to high for Chiang Mai, draft beer in beer towers are good value for money. Specials available on some weeknights, 2 for 1 on softshell crab curries was epic.

Not many tourists or expat customers, probably 98% Thai but everybody very welcome. Friendly, attentive staff.

When you get there park your car in the huge car park if you have one, then walk up to the front desk. Ask for table for how many people you are, then they will walk you to your table.

Open 5pm till 12pm, last orders 11:30pm. Overall a good experience, the more people you go...

A great Thai restaurant popular with locals.

When you walk inside, you'll be taken aback at just how big this establishment really is. It more closely resembles a theme park restaurant than anything else.

The menu offers a variety of Thai dishes ranging from traditional to local northern specialties. In addition to these offerings, they also have sushi, noodles, and western offering such as pizza and pasta. They also offer a variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages!

The name also begets the fantastic view accompanying your dining experience. You're seated on top of water with many water features nearby. Live music is available most nights and they also offer karaoke rooms for the more musically inclined among us.

All in all, great restaurant and I would definitely recommend...
