Another funky nightspot that has opened up in Chiang Mai that will impress most night revellers. With a black and white concept, decorated with loads of stills – many from part owner and movie-star Ananda Everingham’s films – and an assortment of antique movie gadgets such as amazing old movie cameras, there’s plenty to look at while you eat and drink. Another part owner is also a movie director (also owner of Pinocchio), hence the theme. There are different zones for you to choose; outside around a stylish cocktail bar, or in the air-conditioned restaurant. They have a large Thai menu with very good Thai dishes, as well as a great selection of drinks. Every Thursday there’s a Ladies Night and cocktails are only 99 baht. Live music plays most nights – theme music from both Thai and English films sung by very capable singers. Paap Pa Yon is pretty laid back, and a solid choice for a casual meal or a few drinks. The prices are great too.
