At the end of the week, I will know if I still love the Royal Orchid's evening buffet the best. We have really enjoyed it in the past. Better than the Oriental's. Tonight we ate in Chiang Mai at a restaurant across the street from the new Le Meridien. Their buffet did nothing for us but we hoped to be safe with freshly made food there. Hopefully, we are not hurting ourselves to save a little money. Poor Le Meridien put out a huge $30 buffet and I think 12 people finally dined there. Buffets worry me sometimes in the US but in a place like Thailand, the meat sitting out at room temp worries me.
