Take a stroll to the corner of Chapel Walks and Pall Mall, just off Cross Street, and you’ll discover Chaophraya above Sam’s Chop House.

The relaxing bar area offers a truly unique Thai experience and is well worth a visit even if you're not venturing upstairs to the amazing 120 cover a-la-carte restaurant.

With plush leather seating, comfortable sofas and traditional Thai sunken cushioned seating, there's an atmospheric feel matched by very few others in Manchester and you can relax in true Thai style.

From the moment you walk into this plush bar, you are given a traditional Thai welcome from one of the many excellent waiters and waitresses, an extremely friendly approach matched by the bar staff who can offer you wines, cocktails or Asian beers, both bottled and on draught, amongst many others.

Relaxing lounge music from both Europe and Asia adds to the ambience and the table service is of the highest quality, adding to the full Thai experience. Wonderful!

The drinks menu includes an extensive list of selected wines from around the world, Champagnes, premium beers, liqueurs, spirits and cocktails.

Together with classic cocktails, you can choose from ten authentic Thai cocktails like the "Made In Thailand", a mixture of citrus vodka, Malibu, pineapple juice, lemongrass and coriander, topped with ginger beer, or the "Siam Smile", a mix of vanilla vodka, passion fruit and pineapple juice, topped with Champagne.

If it’s a special occasion, ask Chaophraya to help you organise a surprise for that special someone by giving them the complete Chaophraya experience. Cocktails and balloons can be organised for birthdays and staff can arrange an extra special Thai Happy Birthday.
