A legendary gay-owned gem on the Chiang Mai gay map. Le Frenchie is closed, but its queer-friendly legacy continues at this same spot.
Le Frenchie was once a vibrant highlight of the Chiang Mai gay map, known for its warm hospitality and authentic flavors. Located in the heart of the city, this gay-owned restaurant was a passion project of a French-Thai couple, offering a unique bridge between European culinary traditions and Northern Thai charm. For years, it served as a cozy sanctuary for gay men, queer travelers, and the local LGBTQ+ community, providing not just delicious northeastern French cuisine but also a sense of belonging and a safe space to connect. While Le Frenchie has officially closed its doors under that name, its legacy of inclusivity and culinary excellence continues to thrive at the same address. The venue has been transformed into 'La Friandise,' where the original spirit of a queer-friendly atmosphere remains intact. Whether you are reminiscing about the nostalgic charm of Le Frenchie or exploring the new Mediterranean delights offered by the current owners, this location remains a significant landmark for the queer community in Chiang Mai. It stands as a testament to the enduring presence of LGBTQ+ businesses that enrich the city's diverse and welcoming social fabric.
