The Gallery Review

Built in 1892 and one of the oldest original wooden structures in Chiang Mai, The Gallery is the most charming of the riverside restaurants on the eastern bank of the Ping River. It has been on the tourist route for so long (even Hillary Clinton came here) that it can sometimes seem like it caters to foreigners only. Pause as you enter to view some of the original art on display. Try the local fish or hor mok curry. The proximity to the river is agreeable, but apply plenty of mosquito repellent, as mosquitoes come here to eat too. Candlelight, soft Thai music, and a great view of the river -- plus the city's twinkling lights beyond -- top off what's sure to be a lovely evening of dining.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
