Nimman Bar & Grill 

Located inside the posh Kantary Hills hotel, caf? and shopping complex, the Nimman Bar & Grill is one of the most famous restaurants on Nimmanhaemin Road, and for good reason! Decorated in a modern and relaxing style with wooden furniture and green grass in front of the restaurant’s balcony, Nimman Bar & Grill is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks. Sit inside and bask in the air-conditioning, or enjoy the cool weather on the lovely shaded patio. 

Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find your bliss here. Nimman Bar & Grill serves up a wide variety of well-priced authentic Thai, Western and Japanese cuisine. The Italian food holds special acclaim, including a number of local and imported steaks, pasta dishes, pizzas, salads and more. We swooned over the tender Australian fillet mignon, which pairs well with a number of custom-blended cocktails and wines. For dessert, the flamb? cherry jubilee is unmissable. Watch the talented dessert chef play with fire before enjoying the luscious mix of cold ice cream and hot dark cherries glazed in liqueur and sprinkled with toasted almonds.

Every Monday and Friday from 6 – 10 p.m., Nimman Bar & Grill offers up a fresh salad, soup and antipasto buffet, which comes free with an imported steak or costs 170 baht on its own (children under 12 pay half price). Every Wednesday at the same time, meat lovers get pampered at the Carvery Night Buffet, featuring fabulous roasts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry along with a wide array of side dishes and dessert at 490 baht a person (again, children pay half price).

So, next time you’re in the mood for a hearty meal with enough options to keep the entire family pleased, don’t miss Nimman Bar & Grill!

Open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight

This brand new studio, located at the Green Plus Mall 2 Chiang Mai Business Park, just behind Big C Extra, is a beautiful place to get fit. Enter and the clean and spacious design of the big, bright multi-story building, complete with stylish touches like a crystal chandelier and cosy lounge area, will beckon you to a healthier life. Yoga Bright owner Noi is a fitness fanatic with a passion for health, and offers a unique array of classes at her studio, including all types of yoga, TRX, Pilates, fit boxing and the popular new aerial yoga and fitness class, Sky Fly.

Head Sky Fly teacher Tai learned her unique craft from Synergy Fitness in Bangkok, after spending seven years as a traditional yoga teacher. Now, her classes offer a fun and exciting way to bend and stretch yourself to stronger, leaner muscles, better joints and a calmer mind, thanks to the bright blue hammocks that provide support for a series of acrobatic poses, from hanging upside down in the lotus position to swinging to stretching out like a caterpillar in a cocoon. All classes are monitored by not only Tai but her cute and friendly supporting instructor Max, who specialises in aerial jazzercise!

Classes vary depending on the level of student’s ability and hammock height, which ranges from knee level (easy) to hip level to head level to hoop (advanced). Yoga Bright also works with Absolute Bootcamp Fitness to provide Sky Fly classes to participants every Tuesday. Classes must be booked at least an hour in advance to ensure a minimum of eight participants, with hour-long Sky Fly sessions priced at 550 baht per class, or you can save with the discounted package of 5,000 baht for 11 classes.
