I was in Chiang Mai for three days up to the 19th May, the day a grenade was thrown at the governor's house in response to the red-shirt capitulation in Bangkok. The night of the 19th saw the first of nightly curfews imposed in many cities across Thailand including Chiang Mai so I don't know how the bars have been affected. But prior to the 19th, I went to Adam's Apple and Circle Pub, and they were both busy, especially Adam's Apple which had a good floor show and sexy boys on parade. If they have followed the trend in Bangkok, then the bars should now be back in full swing. I note that Aus in the last few days has reduced the severity level of warnings against travel to Thailand, although this has not been reported by the media.
