Body

SUMMARY: 

Chiang Mai Thai & Sushi Bar as the fourth recipient of the Business Spotlight Program.

As one of the longest-standing establishments in the downtown corridor, Chiang Mai Thai & Sushi Bar has been a cornerstone of the local dining scene for decades. Now guided by the next generation of ownership, the restaurant continues to honor its culinary roots while embracing new opportunities to engage with the community.

Most recently, Chiang Mai Thai & Sushi Bar brought regional attention to Downtown Clearwater through a featured Lao New Year cooking segment on Bay News 9. This platform not only highlighted the restaurant’s cultural heritage but also helped shine a light on the diverse and thriving small business community in the downtown area.

Looking ahead, Chiang Mai Thai & Sushi Bar is committed to deepening its role in the cultural and economic vibrancy of Downtown. With plans to participate in and host future events, the restaurant remains dedicated to celebrating Southeast Asian culture and fostering a sense of connection among residents and visitors alike.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

2.1 Strengthen public-private initiatives that attract, develop, and retain diversified business sector.

3.1 Support neighborhood identity through services and programs that empower community pride and belonging.
