I spend most of my evenings in Thailand with Aussies. Great bunch of guys and gals. The Down Under pub in Chiang Mai is the best pub in town for several reasons: it's friendly, it's big enough for several different groups, the music isn't too loud, prices are reasonable, there are separate televisions for a variety of interests, and the owners (Stewart and Noi) are great people. Friday nights on the roof are special.

Gig does the roof top barbeque... Pork ribs and first rate sausages. 40 baht a hotdog.
And there's a great view from the roof during festivals and New Years.
It is THE place to be on New Years when all the EXPENSIVE hotels set off their fireworks. The whole sky gets lit up.
Australia Day is one big party! Everyone but me gets a little drunk.
And the pool table is one of the best in town.
