Mike's Burgers - Chiang Mai

Mike's Burgers is a local chain and institution in Chiang Mai. They have new owners who have opened more locations, but the old style burger counter just left of the gate holds many memories for Abby and I of living here. They are open late, and at two in the AM when the drunks are rolling out of the bars this place is packed.
Mostly I remember standing here some un-godly hour half drunk with a broken nose, my friend Dan with a head full of pills, and almost getting in a fist fight. Some drunk Yank thought it would be funny to try and touch my nose. I had my fist cocked when common sense prevailed, I got Dan to get my food while I beat it back to our apartment, before things got ugly, and they were going that way fast.
Abby and I decided to make this our last meal in Chiang Mai before we headed for the train. You know just for a walk down memory lane. It was a 2 minute walk from our apartment and it was open late so it often filled the late-night snack gap. Chili fries when drunk are like 7-11 chili nachos...irresistible!
