About
Soi Thai Viwat hides a proper slice of Ireland in Chiang Rai. O’Kane’s pours the real stuff — Guinness and Kilkenny on draft — alongside cold local lagers, cider, and a back bar that keeps the regulars happy. Screens show Premier League and big rugby nights, and the chatter is a mix of expats, English teachers, and travelers who wandered over from the Clock Tower and Night Bazaar around the corner.
The menu sticks to pub comforts done right: a full English from 9am, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, plus easy Thai plates if you’re mixing it up. Portions are solid, prices fair, and service has that relaxed, friendly feel you want from a neighborhood local. Grab a table out front for the evening breeze or settle inside when the game is on.
Come early for breakfast and a quiet coffee, or roll in later when the taps are flowing and conversation stretches to midnight. O’Kane’s was the first in Chiang Rai to pour Guinness on draft — a small claim to fame that matches the pride they take in keeping a good pint. If you’re staying near Jetyod or the Night Bazaar, it’s an easy, reliable pit stop before or after a wander.
